811601.0000Effect of homemade compound microbial inoculum on the reduction of terramycin and antibiotic resistance genes in terramycin mycelial dreg aerobic composting and its mechanism. In order to tackle the issue of terramycin mycelial dreg (TMD) diagnosis and removal of terramycin and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), this study adopted aerobic composting (AC) technology and added homemade compound microbial inoculum (HCMI) to promote the AC of TMD and enhance the removal of terramycin and ARGs. The findings demonstrated that terramycin residue could be basically harmless after AC. Moreover, HCMI not only reduced QacB and tetH but also increased the degradation rates of VanRA, VanT, and dfrA24 by 40.81%, 5.65%, and 54.18%, respectively. The HCMI improved the removal rate of ARG subtypes to a certain extent. According to redundancy analysis, during AC, the succession of the microbial community had a stronger influence on the variance of ARG subtype than the environmental conditions. Differences in the abundance of various bacteria due to changes in temperature may be an intrinsic mechanism for the variation of ARG subtypes.202336403916
809910.9994The fate of antibiotic resistance genes during co-composting of swine manure with cauliflower and corn straw. Composting is not completely effective in reducing antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in animal manure. This work studied the effects of different treatment conditions on the fate of ARGs in composting swine manure with cauliflower and corn straw as bulking agents. The results showed that the addition of microbial agents or the ratio of corn stalks to cauliflower (1:12) could significantly decrease the absolute abundances of most ARGs (an average of 480 times) compared with the control treatment. Principal component analysis indicated that bacterial communities were significantly correlated with ARG abundance, suggesting that microbial communities have an impact on ARG variation during co-composting. Redundancy and Network analysis confirmed the changing patterns of individual ARGs (qnrS, bla(AmpC), bla(TEM-1)) were influenced by the selectivity of host bacteria (Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, and Halocella) and environmental variables (TN, NH(3)-N, TOC, and pH). These findings helped to optimize composting conditions, thereby reducing the risk of ARGs spread.202031891854
807520.9993Exploring the impact of biochar on antibiotics and antibiotics resistance genes in pig manure aerobic composting through untargeted metabolomics and metagenomics. This study investigated the effect of biochar on antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during aerobic composting of pig manure. First, the composition and content of antibiotics in the manure were determined qualitatively and quantitatively. Biochar promoted the degradation of these antibiotics (oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline, and tetracycline). The relative abundance (RA) of antibiotic-resistant bacteria carrying ARGs accounted for about 29.32% of the total bacteria. Firmicutes and Actinomycetes were dominant phylum-level bacteria at the early and late stages of composting, respectively. Biochar decreased the total RA of ARGs by 16.83%±4.10%. tetW and tetL, closely related to tetracycline resistance, were significantly diminished during aerobic composting, and biochar was able to promote this removal. Biochar enhanced RAs of Mycobacterium tuberculosis kasA mutant. RAs of ARGs related to antibiotic efflux pumps, such as baeS and arlS, remained at a high level. Conclusively, biochar promotes degradation of antibiotics and removal of ARGs.202235398213
754830.9993Maturity phase is crucial for removing antibiotic resistance genes during composting: novel insights into dissolved organic matter-microbial symbiosis system. Composting is widely regarded as an effective method for reducing antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in livestock and poultry manure. However, the critical mechanisms of ARGs in different composting phase are still unclear. In this study, normal composting and two types of rapid composting (without mature phase) were used to analyze the removal of ARGs and the succession of dissolved organic matter (DOM). Compared to normal composting, rapid composting reactivated tetracyclines, sulfonamide, and quinolones resistance genes during the maturation phase and reduced the total ARGs removal rates by 45.58 %-57.87 %. Humus-like components could inhibit the proliferation of ARGs, and the enrichment of protein-like components increased abundances of Pusillimonas, Persicitalea, and Pseudomonas, indirectly reducing the removal. This study is the first to demonstrate the contribution of DOM and microbial community to ARGs removal, emphasizing the importance of the maturation phase for ARGs elimination. This research provides guidance for producing safe compost products.202540311709
810040.9993Composting temperature directly affects the removal of antibiotic resistance genes and mobile genetic elements in livestock manure. The high antibiotic resistance gene (ARGs) contents in livestock manure pose a potential risk to environment and human health. The heap composting with an ambient temperature and thermophilic composting are two methods for converting livestock manure into fertilizer. This study investigated the variations in ARGs and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) and revealed potential mechanisms for ARGs removal using the two composting methods. The ARGs abundance were enriched by 44-fold in heap composting, among them, the macrolide-resistance genes increased significantly. On the contrary, the ARGs were removed by 92% in thermophilic composting, among them, tetracycline-resistance genes decreased by 97%. The bacterial hosts of ARGs were associated with the variations of ARGs and MGEs. The tetO was correlated with the most diverse bacteria in heap composting, and Bacteroidetes was the major host bacteria. While tetT was correlated with the most diverse bacteria in thermophilic composting, and Proteobacteria was the major host bacteria. Structural equation models showed that the enrichment of ARGs in heap composting was mainly correlated with bacterial communities, whereas, the removal of ARGs in thermophilic composting was directly affect by MGEs. Composting temperature directly affected the variations in ARGs. Higher and lower temperatures significantly decreased and increased, respectively, ARGs and MGEs abundance levels.202235306090
754650.9993Reduction of antibiotic resistance genes under different conditions during composting process of aerobic combined with anaerobic. Single aerobic or anaerobic composting is reportedly as inefficient for removing antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) from animal manure. This study investigates the effects of ARG removal during aerobic combined with anaerobic composting (ACA) under different conditions. The results showed that a turning frequency of once a day, the proportion of swine manure and corn straw (3:1) and an anaerobic time of 6 days were the best operating conditions for ARG reduction (>95%, especially ermF: 99.78%) during ACA. Moreover, redundancy analysis demonstrated that the bacterial community (especially Truepera, Petrimonas and Ureibacillus) had a stronger effect on ARG removal than environmental factors did (especially temperature, total phosphorus, ammonia nitrogen and pH). Network analysis indicated the important effect of these potential host bacteria on the spread of ARGs through significant co-occurrence between individual ARGs and specific bacteria. These findings offer an effective technology to reduce and block ARGs spread from animal manure.202133493747
859060.9993Metagenomic 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
691470.9993Responses 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
811980.9993Biochar-amended composting of lincomycin fermentation dregs promoted microbial metabolism and reduced antibiotic resistance genes. Improper disposal of antibiotic fermentation dregs poses a risk of releasing antibiotics and antibiotic resistant bacteria to the environment. Therefore, this study evaluated the effects of biochar addition to lincomycin fermentation dregs (LFDs) composting. Biochar increased compost temperature and enhanced organic matter decomposition and residual antibiotics removal. Moreover, a 1.5- to 17.0-fold reduction in antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) was observed. Adding biochar also reduced the abundances of persistent ARGs hosts (e.g., Streptomyces, Pseudomonas) and ARG-related metabolic pathways and genes (e.g., ATP-binding cassette type-2 transport, signal transduction and multidrug efflux pump genes). By contrast, compost decomposition improved due to enhanced metabolism of carbohydrates and amino acids. Overall, adding biochar into LFDs compost reduced the proliferation of ARGs and enhanced microbial community metabolism. These results demonstrate that adding biochar to LFDs compost is a simple and efficient way to decrease risks associated with LFDs composting.202336334868
806290.9993Nanoscale zero-valent iron inhibits the horizontal gene transfer of antibiotic resistance genes in chicken manure compost. Livestock manure has been identified as a significant hotspot for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, the impact of nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) on the fate of ARGs during livestock manure composting remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the evolution of ARGs in chicken manure compost exposed to 100 and 600 mg kg(-1) nZVI. The results showed that nZVI addition reduced the concentration of some antibiotics such as doxycycline and sulfamethoxazole. Furthermore, nZVI addition decreased the abundances of most ARGs at the end of composting, but nZVI dosage did not have any significant effect. The abundances of the dominant ARGs (sul1 and sul2) were significantly correlated to the class 1 integron-integrase gene (intI1). A network analysis revealed that the genera Bacteroides, Bacillus, Corynebacterium, Thiopseudomonas and Pseudomonas were the main potential hosts for multiple ARGs, and the decreased abundance of these bacteria contributed to the removal of ARGs. Structural equation models demonstrated that the reduction in intI1 played a predominant role in ARG removal. The nZVI also had direct effects on the intI1 abundance. These findings suggest that the addition of nZVI is a promising strategy to minimize ARG release in chicken manure compost.202234416685
7549100.9993Fate of antibiotic resistance genes during sludge anaerobic fermentation: Roles of different sludge pretreatment. Excess sludge, the primary by-product of wastewater treatment plants, is the source and sink of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Sludge pretreatments are an indispensable pathway to improve the resource recovery and harmfulness for anaerobic digestion sludge. However, fewer studies have compared the effects of different pretreatment technologies on the distribution of ARGs during anaerobic sludge digestion. Here, this study established seven anaerobic digesters, and four typical ARGs and one integrase gene of class 1 integron (intI1) regarded as the representative mobile genetic elements (MGEs) were examined during the whole anaerobic digestion process. It was found anaerobic digestion could effectively remove ARGs with about 70.86% removal rate of total ARGs. Among these pretreatments, the reduce efficiency of ARGs was the highest in 50 °C pretreatment, followed by oxidant, and the last was acid-alkaline. The microbial community analysis demonstrated the microbial community structure, including ARGs hosts and antibiotic resistant bacteria, was significantly changed and influenced by high temperature pretreatment. In addition, high temperature and K(2)S(2)O(8) observably decrease the level of ROS production. Macro transcriptome analysis indicated that sludge pretreatment, except for 50 °C pretreatment, up-regulated the genes relevant to lyases and transferase, but down-regulated the genes responsible for peroxidase, antioxidant enzymes and T4SS gene. This study emphasized and compared the different sludge pretreatments on the fate of ARGs in anaerobic sludge, and highlighted concerns regarding the environmental and health risks to our society.202439393457
8059110.9993Particle size of zero-valent iron affects the risks from antibiotic resistance genes in waste activated sludge during anaerobic digestion. Zero-valent iron (ZVI) is the promising enhancer for sludge anaerobic digestion (AD) performance and for mitigating the proliferation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, concerns about its size effects in shifting the behavior and risk of ARGs in sludge, during the AD process. Here, the metagenomics-based profile of ARGs, along with their potential (pathogenic) hosts in sludge were investigated, during mesophilic AD enhanced by ZVI with three different sizes. Results showed that the size of ZVI affected the profiles of ARGs, with nano-ZVI (nZVI, 50 nm) demonstrating the most significant reduction in abundance (by 45.0 %) and diversity (by 8.6 %) of total ARGs, followed by micron-ZVI (150 μm) and iron scrap (1 mm). Similar trends were also observed for high-risk ARGs, pathogens, and potential pathogenic hosts for ARGs. Notably, nZVI achieved the greatest reductions in the abundance of risk ARGs and potential pathogenic hosts (superbugs) by 58.8 % and 53.9 %, respectively. Correlation and redundancy analyses revealed that, the size of ZVI induced concentration differences in ammonium nitrogen, pH, carbonaceous matters, iron, and potential microbial hosts were the main reasons for the variation in the risk of ARGs. Moreover, the down-regulation of genes involved in oxidative stress contributed to the lower risk of ARGs in the three ZVI groups, especially in nZVI. This study provides insights into AD processes of solid wastes using ZVI enhancers.202540043404
7044120.9992High-throughput profiling the effects of zinc on antibiotic resistance genes in the anaerobic digestion of swine manure. The problem of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) caused by heavy metals has attracted extensive attention of human beings. Zn, a widely used feed additive, has a very high residue in swine manure, but the distribution characteristics of ARGs imposed by Zn in anaerobic digestion (AD) products are not clear. In this study, the behaviour of mobile genetic elements (MGEs), bacterial community, and their association with ARGs were determined in the presence of 125 and 1250 mg L(-1) Zn in AD system of swine manure. Zn-treated enriched the abundance of ARGs, and produced some new genotypes that were not detected in CK treatment. In addition, low concentration of Zn significantly increased the relative abundance of ARGs, as compared to higher Zn and CK group. Correspondingly, the abundances of most top30 genus were highest in ZnL (125 mg L(-1) Zn), followed by CK and ZnH (1250 mg L(-1) Zn). Notably, network analysis showed that the relationship between ARGs and MGEs is closer than that ARGs and bacteria, suggesting that ARGs increased in Zn-treated, especially low level Zn, may be due to the amplification transfer of ARGs among varied microorganisms by horizontal transfer with MGEs. Therefore, strengthen the management of in livestock manure is crucial to control the spread of ARGs in organic fertilizers.202437193677
8061130.9992The addition of nano zero-valent iron during compost maturation effectively removes intracellular and extracellular antibiotic resistance genes by reducing the abundance of potential host bacteria. Applying compost to soil may lead to the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment. Therefore, removing ARGs from compost is critical. In this study, for the first time, nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) was added to compost during the maturation stage to remove ARGs. After adding 1 g/kg of nZVI, the abundance of total intracellular and total extracellular ARGs was decreased by 97.62% and 99.60%, and that of total intracellular and total extracellular mobile genetic elements (MGEs) was decreased by 92.39% and 99.31%, respectively. A Mantel test and network analysis indicated that the reduction in potential host bacteria and intI1 after nZVI treatment promoted the removal of intracellular and extracellular ARGs. The addition of nZVI during composting reduced the horizontal transfer of ARGs and improve the total nitrogen and germination index of compost, allowing it to meet the requirements for organic fertilizers.202337352990
8060140.9992Responses of bacterial communities and antibiotic resistance genes to nano-cellulose addition during pig manure composting. Treatment with exogenous additives during composting can help to alleviate the accumulation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) caused by the direct application of pig manure to farmland. In addition, nano-cellulose has an excellent capacity for adsorbing pollutants. Thus, the effects of adding 300, 600, and 900 mg/kg nano-cellulose to compost on the bacterial communities, mobile genetic elements (MGEs), and ARGs were determined in this study. After composting, treatment with nano-cellulose significantly reduced the relative abundance of ARGs, which was lowest in the compost product with 600 mg/kg added nano-cellulose. Nano-cellulose inhibited the rebound in ARGs from the cooling period to the maturity period, and weakened the selective pressure of heavy metals on microorganisms by passivating bio-Cu. The results also showed that MGEs explained most of the changes in the abundances of ARGs, and MGEs had direct effects on ARGs. The addition of 600 mg/kg nano-cellulose reduced the abundances of bacterial genera associated with ermQ, tetG, and other genes, and the number of links (16) between ARGs and MGEs was lowest in the treatment with 600 mg/kg added nano-cellulose. Therefore, adding 600 mg/kg nano-cellulose reduced the abundances of ARGs by affecting host bacteria and MGEs. The results obtained in this study demonstrate the positive effect of nano-cellulose on ARG pollution in poultry manure, where adding 600 mg/kg nano-cellulose was most effective at reducing the abundances of ARGs.202134649327
7043150.9992Antibiotic resistance gene transfer during anaerobic digestion with added copper: Important roles of mobile genetic elements. The abuse of heavy metals as feed additives in livestock is widespread and it might aggravate the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment. However, the mechanisms that allow heavy metals to increase the transmission of ARGs in the environment remain unclear. Cu is the heavy metal present at the highest concentration in livestock manure, and thus Cu was selected to investigate the responses of ARGs to heavy metals. The effects of the microbial communities, mobile genetic elements (MGEs), and heavy metal resistance genes (HMRGs) on ARGs were determined in the presence of 75 and 227 mg L(-1) Cu in a swine manure anaerobic digestion (AD) system. In the AD products, the presence of residual Cu (75 and 227 mg L(-1)) increased the total ARGs, HMRGs, and some MGEs, and the higher Cu selected more ARGs than the lower Cu treatment. The results demonstrated that Cu could promote the co-selection of HMRGs, ARGs, and MGEs. The different levels of Cu did not change the bacterial community composition, but they influenced the abundances of bacteria during AD. Network analysis showed that the presence of Cu increased the co-occurrence of specific bacteria containing ARGs, HMRGs, and MGEs. Furthermore, the co-occurrence of MGEs and ARGs increased greatly compared with that of HMRGs and ARGs. Therefore, compared HMRGs, the increased MGEs had the main effect on increasing of ARGs.202032659562
7550160.9992Evaluating the effects of activated carbon on methane generation and the fate of antibiotic resistant genes and class I integrons during anaerobic digestion of solid organic wastes. The effects of activated carbon (AC) on methane production and the fate of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) were evaluated through comparing the anaerobic digestion performance and transformation of ARGs among anaerobic mono-digestion of food waste, co-digestion of food waste and chicken manure, and co-digestion of food waste and waste activated sludge. Results showed that adding AC in anaerobic digesters improved methane yield by at least double through the enrichment of bacteria and archaea. Conventional digestion process showed ability in removing certain types of ARGs, such as tetA, tetX, sul1, sul2, cmlA, floR, and intl1. Supplementing AC in anaerobic digester enhanced the removal of most of the ARGs in mono-digestion of food waste. The effects tended to be minimal in co-digestion of co-substrates such as chicken manure and waste activated sludge, both of which contain a certain amount of antibiotics.201829096147
7554170.9992Effects of earthworms on the fate of tetracycline and fluoroquinolone resistance genes of sewage sludge during vermicomposting. Diverse antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) present in sewage sludge are difficult to be eliminated using conventional sludge treatment processes. To date, little remains known on the fate of the ARGs during vermicomposting of sludge. This study aimed to investigate the effect of earthworms on the fate of tetracycline and fluoroquinolone resistance genes, and integrons during vermicomposting of sewage sludge through contrasting two systems of sludge stabilization with and without earthworms. Compared to the control without earthworms, vermicomposting significantly (p < 0.05) decreased the abundances of tetracycline and fluoroquinolone resistance genes and int1, with complete removal for parC. Variations in ARGs were associated with environmental factors, horizontal gene transfer, bacterial community composition, and earthworms during vermicomposting. In addition, earthworms strongly affected the possible host bacteria encoding ARGs and Int1, abating the pathogenic bacteria in vermicomposting product. These results imply that vermicomposting could effectively reduce tetracycline and fluoroquinolone resistance genes in the sludge.201829536871
8593180.9992Preference and regulation mechanism mediated via mobile genetic elements for antibiotic and metal resistomes during composting amended with nano ZVI loaded on biochar. This study assessed the effectiveness of nano zero-valent iron loaded on biochar (BC-nZVI) during swine manure composting. BC-nZVI significantly reduced the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), metal resistance genes (MRGs), and mobile genetic elements (MGEs). BC-nZVI modified the preference of MGEs to carry ARGs and MRGs, and the corrosion products of BC-nZVI could destroy cell structure, hinder electron transfer between cells, and weaken the association between ARGs, MRGs, and host bacteria. Functional genes analysis revealed that BC-nZVI down-regulated the abundance of genes affecting the transmission and metabolism of ARGs and MRGs, including type IV secretion systems, transporter systems, two-component systems, and multidrug efflux pumps. Furthermore, the BC-nZVI decreased genes related to flagella and pili production and cell membrane permeability, thereby hindering the transfer of ARGs, MRGs, and MGEs in the environment. Redundancy analysis demonstrated that changes in the microbial community induced by BC-nZVI were pivotal factors impacting the abundance of ARGs, MRGs, and MGEs. Overall, this study confirmed the efficacy of BC-nZVI in reducing resistance genes during swine manure composting, offering a promising environmental strategy to mitigate the dissemination of these contaminants.202438992827
8076190.9992Effects of chlortetracycline and copper on tetracyclines and copper resistance genes and microbial community during swine manure anaerobic digestion. As antibiotic and heavy metals are over used in the livestock industry, animal manure is a reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Anaerobic digestion has been reported to have the potential to reduce ARGs. However, few studies investigated whether reduction of ARGs would be affected by different external pressures including antibiotics and heavy metals during anaerobic digestion. The purpose of this study was thus to investigate effects of both chlortetracycline (CTC) and Cu on reduction of ARGs, heavy metal resistance genes (HMRGs) and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) during the swine manure anaerobic digestion. The results showed that the predominant ARGs (tetO, tetW, tetX, tetL) could be effectively reduced (approximately 1.00 log copies/g TS) through mesophilic anaerobic digestion. Microbial community evolution was the main driver. It was interesting that Treponema might indicate the termination of anaerobic digestion and compete with ARGs host bacteria. Addition of CTC, Cu and CTC+Cu affected microbial community change and hindered removal of ARGs, especially, CTC+Cu seriously affected Treponema and ARGs during anaerobic digestion.201728432950
