691301.0000Antibiotic resistance genes link to nitrogen removal potential via co-hosting preference for denitrification genes in a subtropical estuary. Estuaries are important sinks for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and hotspots of nitrogen cycling. However, the interactions between nitrogen cycling functional genes (NCGs) and ARGs in estuaries remain poorly understood. This study employed metagenomic sequencing to explore potential interactions between nitrogen, ARGs, and microbial-mediated nitrogen cycling processes in estuarine waters. Results showed beta-lactam was the predominant subtype of ARGs (407 species), and sul1 exhibited the highest relative abundance (4.11 %). Nitrogen was the important factor driving spatiotemporal variation of ARGs, promoting their proliferation and dispersal by enhancing microbial growth and reproduction. Network analysis revealed wide and complex correlations between ARGs and NCGs. Nitrate-reducing bacteria were the main hosts of ARGs, and the greatest number of potential hosts were those involved in assimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (17.44 %), dissimilatory nitrate reduction to nitrite (16.59 %), and denitrification (15.71 %). Compared with dissimilatory nitrite reduction to ammonium genes, ARGs prefer to form co-hosting relationships with denitrification genes, indicating that ARGs had a stronger effect on the nitrogen removal potential than on the nitrogen retention potential. This study highlights the complex interactions between ARGs and nitrogen cycling processes in subtropical estuaries, and will provide a scientific base for couple management strategies of nitrogen and antibiotic pollution.202540934587
692910.9998Root exudates regulate soil antibiotic resistance genes via rhizosphere microbes under long-term fertilization. Organic fertilizer application promotes the prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), yet the factors driving temporal differences in ARG abundance under long-term organic fertilizer application remain unclear. This study investigated the temporal dynamics of ARG diversity and abundance in both bulk and rhizosphere soils over 17 years (2003-2019), and explored microbial evolution strategies, ARG hosts succession and the influence of root exudates on ARGs regulation. The results showed that the ARGs abundance in rhizosphere soil was lower than that in bulk soil under long-term fertilization, and ARGs abundance exhibited a decrease and then remained stable in rhizosphere soil over time. There was a strong association between host bacteria and dominant ARGs (p < 0.05). Structural equations demonstrated that bacterial community had a most pronounced influence on ARGs (p < 0.05), and metabolites exhibited an important mediation effect on bacterial community (p < 0.05), thereby impacting ARGs. The metabolome analysis evidenced that significant correlations were found between defensive root exudates and most ARGs abundance (p < 0.05), like, luteolin-7-glucoside was negatively correlated with tetA(58). These findings provide deeper insights into the dynamics of soil ARGs under long-term fertilization, and identify critical factors that influence ARGs colonization in soils, providing support for controlling the spread of ARGs in agriculture soils.202539700687
859020.9998Metagenomic insights into role of red mud in regulating fate of compost antibiotic resistance genes mediated by both direct and indirect ways. In this study, the amendment of red mud (RM) in dairy manure composting on the fate of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) by both direct (bacteria community, mobile genetic elements and quorum sensing) and indirect ways (environmental factors and antibiotics) was analyzed. The results showed that RM reduced the total relative abundances of 10 ARGs and 4 mobile genetic elements (MGEs). And the relative abundances of total ARGs and MGEs decreased by 53.48% and 22.30% in T (with RM added) on day 47 compared with day 0. Meanwhile, the modification of RM significantly increased the abundance of lsrK, pvdQ and ahlD in quorum quenching (QQ) and decreased the abundance of luxS in quorum sensing (QS) (P < 0.05), thereby attenuating the intercellular genes frequency of communication. The microbial community and network analysis showed that 25 potential hosts of ARGs were mainly related to Firmicutes, Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria. Redundancy analysis (RDA) and structural equation model (SEM) further indicated that RM altered microbial community structure by regulating antibiotic content and environmental factors (temperature, pH, moisture content and organic matter content), which then affected horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in ARGs mediated by QS and MGEs. These results provide new insights into the dissemination mechanism and removal of ARGs in composting process.202336462475
858930.9997Impacts of microplastic type on the fate of antibiotic resistance genes and horizontal gene transfer mechanism during anaerobic digestion. Microplastics (MPs) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are important pollutants in waste activated sludge (WAS), but their interactions during anaerobic digestion (AD) still need to be further explored. This study investigated variations in ARGs, mobile genetic elements (MGEs), and host bacteria during AD under the pressure of polyamide (PA), polyethylene (PE), and polypropylene (PP). The results showed that the MPs increased methane production by 11.7-35.5%, and decreased ARG abundance by 5.6-24.6%. Correlation analysis showed that the decrease of MGEs (plasmid, prophage, etc.) promoted the decrease of the abundance of multidrug, aminoglycoside and tetracycline resistance genes. Metagenomic annotation revealed that the reduction of key host bacteria (Arenimonas, Lautropia, etc.) reduced the abundance of major ARGs (rsmA, rpoB2, etc.). Moreover, PP MPs contributed to a reduction in the abundance of functional genes related to the production of reactive oxygen species, ATP synthesis, and cell membrane permeability, which was conducive to reducing the potential for horizontal gene transfer of ARGs. These findings provide insights into the treatment of organic waste containing MPs.202438772228
691840.9997Variations in antibiotic resistance genes and removal mechanisms induced by C/N ratio of substrate during composting. For a comprehensive insight into the potential mechanism of the removal of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) removal induced by initial substrates during composting, we tracked the dynamics of physicochemical properties, bacterial community composition, fungal community composition, the relative abundance of ARGs and mobile genetic genes (MGEs) during reed straw and cow manure composting with different carbon to nitrogen ratio. The results showed that the successive bacterial communities were mainly characterized by the dynamic balance between Firmicutes and Actinobacteria, while the fungal communities were composed of Ascomycota. During composting, the interactions between bacteria and fungi were mainly negative. After composting, the removal efficiency of ARGs in compost treatment with C/N ≈ 26 (LL) was higher than that in compost treatment with C/N ≈ 35 (HL), while MGEs were completely degraded in HL and enriched by 2.3% in LL. The large reduction in the relative abundance of ARGs was possibly due to a decrease in the potential host bacterial genera, such as Advenella, Tepidimicrobium, Proteiniphilum, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Flavobacteria and Arcbacter. Partial least-squares path modeling (PLS-PM) revealed that the succession of bacterial communities played a more important role than MGEs in ARGs removal, while indirect factors of the fungal communities altered the profile of ARGs by affecting the bacterial communities. Both direct and indirect factors were affected by composting treatments. This study provides insights into the role of fungal communities in affecting ARGs and highlights the role of different composting treatments with different carbon to nitrogen ration on the underlying mechanism of ARGs removal.202134375241
703850.9997Interactions between fungi and bacteria hosts carrying MGEs is dominant for ARGs fate during manure mesophilic composting. The mycelial networks of fungi promote the interaction between the originally isolated bacteria, thereby potentially enhancing the exchange of nutrients and the horizontal transfer of genetic materials. However, the driving effect of fungi on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during mesophilic facultative composting is still unclear. This study aims to elucidate the changes in ARGs and underlying mechanisms during the mesophilic composting of manure. Results indicated that reduction rates of ARGs in sheep and pig manure over a 90-day composting period were 34.68% and 60.10%, respectively. The sul1, sul2 and tetX were identified as recalcitrant ARGs in both composting treatments, with the additional unique recalcitrant gene addA observed in sheep manure. Fungal communities appeared to have a more significant influence on the cooperation between bacteria and fungi. Massive fungi interacted intensively with bacterial hosts carrying both ARGs and mobile genetic elements (MGEs). In sheep and pig manure, there were 53 and 38 potential bacterial hosts (genus level) carrying both ARGs and MGEs, associated close interactions with fungi. Structural equation modeling revealed that compost properties influence ARGs by affecting the abundance of core fungi and the hosts carrying MGEs, and that core fungi could also impact ARGs by influencing the bacterial hosts carrying MGEs. Core fungi have the potential to facilitate the horizontal transfer of ARGs by enhancing bacterial network interactions.202539764902
756260.9997Nanoparticles and antibiotics stress proliferated antibiotic resistance genes in microalgae-bacteria symbiotic systems. The comprehensive effect of exogenous pollutants on the dispersal and abundance of antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) in the phycosphere, bacterial community and algae-bacteria interaction remains poorly understood. We investigated community structure and abundance of ARGs in free-living (FL) and particle-attached (PA) bacteria in the phycosphere under nanoparticles (silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and hematite nanoparticles (HemNPs)) and antibiotics (tetracycline and sulfadiazine) stress using high-throughput sequencing and real-time quantitative PCR. Meanwhile, the intrinsic connection of algae-bacteria interaction was explored by transcriptome and metabolome. The results showed that the relative abundance of sulfonamide and tetracycline ARGs in PA and FL bacteria increased 103-129 % and 112-134 %, respectively, under combined stress of nanoparticles and antibiotics. Antibiotics have a greater effect on ARGs than nanoparticles at environmentally relevant concentrations. Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidetes, as the primary potential hosts of ARGs, were the dominant phyla. Lifestyle, i.e., PA and FL, significantly determined the abundance of ARGs and bacterial communities. Moreover, algae can provide bacteria with nutrients (carbohydrates and amino acids), and can also produce antibacterial substances (fatty acids). This algal-bacterial interaction may indirectly affect the distribution and abundance of ARGs. These findings provide new insights into the distribution and dispersal of ARGs in microalgae-bacteria symbiotic systems.202336283215
756170.9997Deciphering antibiotic resistome variations during nitrogen removal process transition under mixed antibiotics stress: Assembly process and driving factors. Antibiotic resistome, which encompasses all types of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in a given environment, has received increasing attention in research on different wastewater treatment processes. However, the variation in antibiotic resistome during the transition from the full nitrification-denitrification to the shortcut nitrification-denitrification process remains unclear. In this study, a total of 269 targeted gene subtypes were identified, along with 108 genes were consistently present in all samples. The introduction of mixed antibioticsrapidly increased the abundance of corresponding and non-corresponding ARGs, as well as that of mobile genetic elements.The variations in of the antibiotic resistome were primarily driven by dissolved oxygen and nitrite accumulation rate. Moreover, 34 bacterial genera were identified as potential ARG hosts, with most denitrifiers considered as potential antibiotic-resistant bacteria, including Branchymonas, Rhodobacter, and Thauera. This study provides a method for controlling antibiotic resistance by regulating the changes in environmental variables and bacterial communities.202339492537
755180.9997Microbial community evolution and fate of antibiotic resistance genes during sludge treatment in two full-scale anaerobic digestion plants with thermal hydrolysis pretreatment. Anaerobic digestion (AD) with thermal hydrolysis pretreatment is widely used as an efficient sludge treatment nowadays. However, the evolution of microbial community (especially for the archaea community), the fate of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and their associations during such process in full-scale sludge treatment plants are rarely reported. Therefore, these scientific questions were explored at two full-scale sludge treatment plants through high-throughput sequencing and quantitative PCR. Results showed that Methanobacterium and Methanosphaera were the dominant archaea in thermal hydrolyzed sludge. The predominant bacteria in the sludge first shifted from nutrients removal functional bacteria to spore-forming bacteria after thermal hydrolysis, and then shifted to fermentative bacteria after AD. The full-scale plants could select ermB, ermF, mefA/E, qnrS and tetM. Though the bacteria and archaea biomass and community largely influenced the fate of ARGs, multiple linear regression analysis showed that the total ARGs were mainly affected by mobile genetic elements (MGEs).201931158777
691490.9997Responses of antibiotic and heavy metal resistance genes to bamboo charcoal and bamboo vinegar during aerobic composting. The application of compost in agriculture has led to the accumulation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and heavy metal resistance genes (MRGs) in the soil environment. In this study, the response of ARGs and MRGs to bamboo charcoal (BC) and bamboo vinegar (BV) during aerobic composting was investigated. Results showed that BC + BV treatment reduced the abundances of ARGs and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) during the thermophilic period, as well as achieved the lowest rebound during the cooling period. BC + BV promoted the growth of Firmicutes, thereby facilitating the thermophilic period of composting. The rebound of ARGs and MGEs can be explained by increasing the abundance of Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria at the end of composting. Composting reduced the abundances of MRGs comprising pcoA, tcrB, and cueO, whereas cusA and copA indicated the selective pressure imposed by heavy metals on bacteria. The fate of ARGs was mainly driven by MGEs, and heavy metals explained most of the variation in MRGs. Interestingly, nitrogen conversion also had an important effect on ARG and MRG profiles. Our current findings suggest that the addition of BC + BV during compost preparation is an effective method in controlling the mobility of ARGs and MRGs, thereby reducing the environmental problems.201931252107
6985100.9997Elevated CO(2) Increased Antibiotic Resistomes in Seed Endophytes: Evidence from a Free-Air CO(2) Enrichment (FACE) Experiment. Climate warming affects antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in soil and the plant microbiome, including seed endophytes. Seeds act as vectors for ARG dissemination in the soil-plant system, but the impact of elevated CO(2) on seed resistomes remains poorly understood. Here, a free-air CO(2) enrichment system was used to examine the impact of elevated CO(2) on seed-associated ARGs and seed endophytic bacteria and fungi. Results indicated that elevated CO(2) levels significantly increased the relative abundance of seed ARGs and mobile genetic elements (MGEs), especially those related to beta-lactam resistance and MGEs. Increased CO(2) levels also influenced the composition of seed bacterial and fungal communities and the complexity of bacteria-fungi interactions. Fungi were more sensitive to changes in the CO(2) level than bacteria, with deterministic processes playing a greater role in fungal community assembly. Co-occurrence network analysis revealed a stronger correlation between fungi and ARGs compared to bacteria. The structure equation model (SEM) showed that elevated CO(2) directly influenced seed resistomes by altering bacterial composition and indirectly through bacteria-fungi interactions. Together, our work offers new insights into the effects of elevated CO(2) on antibiotic resistomes in the seed endosphere, highlighting their increased dissemination potential within soil-plant systems and the associated health risks in a changing environment.202439680930
7042110.9997Response of antibiotic resistance genes abundance by graphene oxide during the anaerobic digestion of swine manure with copper pollution. The pollution of various environments with antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is an urgent problem that needs to be addressed, especially in heavy metal-polluted environments. This study investigated the responses of ARGs and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) to the addition of graphene oxide (GO) to swine manure containing a high concentration copper during anaerobic digestion. The total copy numbers of ARGs and MGEs were significantly enhanced by the pressure due to Cu. GO significantly decreased the ARG and MGE copy numbers, where the low GO concentration performed better than the high GO concentration. Network analysis showed that most of the ARGs and MGEs co-occurred and they shared the same major potential host bacteria. The contributions of different factors to ARG abundances were assessed by redundancy analysis and MGEs had the most important effect on the fate of ARGs. Thus, GO may reduce the abundance of ARGs mainly by removing MGEs.201930445329
8095120.9997Heavy metals, antibiotics and nutrients affect the bacterial community and resistance genes in chicken manure composting and fertilized soil. Succession of bacterial communities involved in the composting process of chicken manure, including first composting (FC), second composting (SC) and fertilizer product (Pd) and fertilized soil (FS), and their associations with nutrients, heavy metals, antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) were investigated. Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Actinobacteria were the dominant phyla observed during composting. Overall, potential pathogenic bacteria decreased from 37.18% (FC) to 3.43% (Pd) and potential probiotic taxa increased from 5.77% (FC) to 7.12% (Pd). Concentrations of heavy metals increased after second composting (SC), however, no significant differences were observed between FS and CS groups. Alpha diversities of bacterial communities showed significant correlation with heavy metals and nutrients. All investigated antibiotics decreased significantly after the composting process. The certain antibiotics, heavy metals, or nutrients was significantly positive correlated with the abundance of ARGs, highlighting that they can directly or indirectly influence persistence of ARGs. Overall, results indicated that the composting process is effective for reducing potential pathogenic bacteria, antibiotics and ARGs. The application of compost lead to a decrease in pathogens and ARGs, as well as an increase in potentially beneficial taxa and nutrients in soil.202031868641
6982130.9997Viral Communities Suppress the Earthworm Gut Antibiotic Resistome by Lysing Bacteria on a National Scale. Earthworms are critical in regulating soil processes and act as filters for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Yet, the geographic patterns and main drivers of earthworm gut ARGs remain largely unknown. We collected 52 earthworm and soil samples from arable and forest ecosystems along a 3000 km transect across China, analyzing the diversity and abundance of ARGs using shotgun metagenomics. Earthworm guts harbored a lower diversity and abundance of ARGs compared to soil, resulting in a stronger distance-decay rate of ARGs in the gut. Greater deterministic assembly processes of ARGs were found in the gut than in soil. The earthworm gut had a lower frequency of co-occurrence patterns between ARGs and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in forest than in arable systems. Viral diversity was higher in the gut compared to soil and was negatively correlated with bacterial diversity. Bacteria such as Streptomyces and Pseudomonas were potential hosts of both viruses and ARGs. Viruses had negative effects on the diversity and abundance of ARGs, likely due to the lysis on ARG-bearing bacteria. These findings provide new insights into the variations of ARGs in the earthworm gut and highlight the vital role of viruses in the regulation of ARGs in the soil ecosystem.202439037720
6916140.9997Mobile genetic elements in potential host microorganisms are the key hindrance for the removal of antibiotic resistance genes in industrial-scale composting with municipal solid waste. During the municipal solid waste (MSW) composting, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) could be one of the concerns to hinder the application of MSW composting. However, the understanding of enrichment and dissemination of ARGs during the industrial-scale composting is still not clear. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the ARG distributions at different stages in an industrial-scale MSW composting plant. Seven target ARGs and four target mobile genetic elements (MGEs) and bacterial communities were investigated. The abundances of ARGs and MGEs increased during two aerobic thermophilic stages, but they decreased in most ARGs and MGEs after composting. Network analysis showed that potential host bacteria of ARGs were mainly Firmicutes and Actinobacteria. The reduction of potential host bacteria was important to remove ARGs. MGEs were an important factor hindering ARG removal. Water-extractable S and pH were two main physicochemical factors in the changes of microbial community and the abundance of ARGs.202031962245
8588150.9997Does lipid stress affect performance, fate of antibiotic resistance genes and microbial dynamics during anaerobic digestion of food waste? The dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in food waste (FW) disposal can pose severe threats to public health. Lipid is a primary composition in FW, while whether lipid stress can affect ARGs dynamics during anaerobic digestion (AD) process of FW is uncertain. This study focused on the impacts of lipid stress on methane production, fate of ARGs and its microbial mechanisms during AD of FW. Results showed that high lipid content increased methane yield but prolonged hydrolysis and lag time of methane production compared to AD of FW without oil. Moreover, variations of ARGs were more susceptible to lipid stress. Lipid stress could facilitate the reduction of total ARGs abundances compared to the group without oil, particularly restraining the proliferation of sul1, aadA1 and mefA in AD systems (P < 0.05). Mantel test suggested that integrons (intl1 and intl2) were significantly correlated with all detected ARGs (r: 0.33, P < 0.05), indicating that horizontal gene transfer mediated by integrons could be the driving force on ARGs dissemination. Network analysis suggested that Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Synergistetes and Proteobacteria were the main potential hosts of ARGs. In addition, under the lipid stress, the reduction of host bacteria was responsible for the elimination of several specific ARGs, thereby affecting ARGs profiles. These findings firstly deciphered ARGs dynamics and their driving factors responding to lipid stress during anaerobic biological treatment of FW.202133250254
6915160.9997Industrial-scale aerobic composting of livestock manures with the addition of biochar: Variation of bacterial community and antibiotic resistance genes caused by various composting stages. The presence of large amounts of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in livestock manures poses an impending, tough safety risk to ecosystems. To investigate more comprehensively the mechanisms of ARGs removal from industrial-scale composting of livestock manure based on biochar addition, we tracked the dynamics of bacterial community and ARGs at various stages of aerobic composting of livestock manures with 10% biochar. There were no significant effects of biochar on the bacterial community and the profiles of ARGs. During aerobic composting, the relative abundance of ARGs and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) showed overall trends of decreasing and then increasing. The key factor driving the dynamics of ARGs was bacterial community composition, and the potential hosts of ARGs were Caldicoprobacter, Tepidimicrobium, Ignatzschineria, Pseudogracilibacillus, Actinomadura, Flavobacterium and Planifilum. The retention of the thermophilic bacteria and the repopulation of the initial bacteria were the dominant reasons for the increase in ARGs at maturation stage. Additionally, among the MGEs, the relative abundance of transposon gene was substantially removed, while the integron genes remained at high relative abundance. Our results highlighted that the suitability of biochar addition to industrial-scale aerobic composting needs to be further explored and that effective measures are needed to prevent the increase of ARGs content on maturation stage.202236162559
7559170.9997Fate of antibiotic resistance genes and resistant bacteria under various operating temperatures of sludge anaerobic digestion. This study investigates the impact of varying temperatures on reducing antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during anaerobic digestion (AD) of mixed raw sludge in wastewater treatment plants. Employing three different operating temperatures, i.e., 37, 55, and 65 °C, the research aims to identify how these conditions affect the diminution of resistant genes. The results, based on quantitative PCR analysis and metagenomic sequencing, show that higher temperatures significantly enhance the reduction of ARGs, with the most substantial decreases observed at 65 °C. This temperature-dependent reduction correlates with changes in the microbial community structure, where specific bacterial genera like Alicycliphilus, Macellibacteroides, Dokdonella, Ahniella, Thauera, and Zoogloea associated with ARGs exhibit decreased abundance at elevated temperatures. The study infers that AD at higher temperatures could be a more effective strategy in mitigating the spread of antibiotic resistance in the environment, suggesting a pivotal role of operational temperature in optimizing wastewater treatment processes for ARGs attenuation. The findings highlight the need for further research to refine AD protocols, aiming to minimize the environmental impact of antibiotic resistance dissemination.202540662898
6917180.9997Response characteristics of antibiotic resistance genes and bacterial communities during agricultural waste composting: Focusing on biogas residue combined with biochar amendments. This research investigated biogas residue and biochar addition on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), mobile genetic elements (MGEs), and changes in bacterial community during agricultural waste composting. Sequencing technique investigated bacterial community structure and ARGs, MGEs changes. Correlations among physicochemical factors, ARGs, MGEs, and bacterial community structure were determined using redundancy analysis. Results confirmed that biochar and biogas residue amendments effectively lowered the contents of ARGs and MGEs. The main ARGs detected was sul1. Proteobacteria and Firmicutes were the main host bacteria strongly associated with the dissemination of ARGs. The dynamic characteristics of the bacterial community were strongly correlated with pile temperature and pH (P < 0.05). Redundancy and network analysis revealed that nitrate, intI1, and Firmicutes mainly affected the in ARGs changes. Therefore, regulating these key variables would effectively suppress the ARGs spread and risk of compost use.202336657587
6919190.9997Enhanced removal of antibiotic resistance genes during chicken manure composting after combined inoculation of Bacillus subtilis with biochar. This study explored the combined effects of Bacillus subtilis inoculation with biochar on the evolution of bacterial communities, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) during the composting of chicken manure. The results showed that B. subtilis inoculation combined with biochar increased bacterial abundance and diversity as well as prolonged the compost thermophilic period. Promoted organic matter biodegradation and facilitated the organic waste compost humification process, reduced the proliferation of ARGs by altering the bacterial composition. Firmicutes and Actinobacteriota were the main resistant bacteria related to ARGs and MGEs. The decrease in ARGs and MGEs was associated with the reduction in the abundance of related host bacteria. Compost inoculation with B. subtilis and the addition of biochar could promote nutrient transformation, reduce the increase in ARGs and MGEs, and increase the abundance of beneficial soil taxa.202437778803
