How to extend contigs from single-end reads?

Hi all,

I have raw sequencing datas of metagenomes and all of them are single-end reads. I would want to prolong/extend contigs. I thought of PRICE (Ruby, JG., et al, 2013) but it only works with paired-end reads. Do you have any recommendation on what software could I use?

Thank you for your much appreciated help in advance!

Have a great day
