Well, you probably should write to the authors if you want to know. As a guess I suspect that it is looking at all of the quality values and then determining the lowest and highest value it sees. From there it would be quite easy to figure out the encoding used.
In other words, given only one sequence it is hard to tell what the encoding is. Given 1,000,000 sequences it would be trivial.

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...-
