805400.9853Effects of nanoscale zero-valent iron on the performance and the fate of antibiotic resistance genes during thermophilic and mesophilic anaerobic digestion of food waste. The effects of nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) on the performance of food waste anaerobic digestion and the fate of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) were investigated in thermophilic (TR) and mesophilic (MR) reactors. Results showed that nZVI enhanced biogas production and facilitated ARGs reduction. The maximum CH(4) production was 212.00 ± 4.77 ml/gVS with 5 g/L of nZVI in MR. The highest ARGs removal ratio was 86.64 ± 0.72% obtained in TR at nZVI of 2 g/L. nZVI corrosion products and their contribution on AD performance were analyzed. The abundance of tetracycline genes reduced significantly in nZVI amended digesters. Firmicutes, Chloroflexi, Proteobacteria and Spirochaetes showed significant positive correlations with various ARGs (p < 0.05) in MR and TR. Redundancy analysis indicated that microbial community was the main factor that influenced the fate of ARGs. nZVI changed microbial communities, with decreasing the abundance bacteria belonging to Firmicutes and resulting in the reduction of ARGs.201931505392
810910.9852The fate of antibiotic resistance genes and their influential factors in swine manure composting with sepiolite as additive. Manures are storages for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) entering the environment. This study investigated the effects of adding sepiolite at 0%, 2.5%, 5%, and 7.5% (CK, T1, T2, and T3, respectively) on the fates of ARGs during composting. The relative abundances (RAs) of the total ARGs in CK and T3 decreased by 0.23 and 0.46 logs, respectively, after composting. The RAs of 10/11 ARGs decreased in CK, whereas they all decreased in T3. The reduction in the RA of the total mobile genetic elements (MGEs) was 1.26 times higher in T3 compared with CK after composting. The bacterial community accounted for 47.93% of the variation in the abundances of ARGs. Network analysis indicated that ARGs and MGEs shared potential host bacteria (PHB), and T3 controlled the transmission of ARGs by reducing the abundances of PHB. Composting with 7.5% sepiolite is an effective strategy for reducing the risk of ARGs proliferating.202235063626
799020.9849Calcined Eggshell Waste for Mitigating Soil Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria/Antibiotic Resistance Gene Dissemination and Accumulation in Bell Pepper. The combined accumulation of antibiotics, heavy metals, antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB)/antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in vegetables has become a new threat to human health. This is the first study to investigate the feasibility of calcined eggshells modified by aluminum sulfate as novel agricultural wastes to impede mixed contaminants from transferring to bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). In this work, calcined eggshell amendment mitigated mixed pollutant accumulation in bell pepper significantly, enhanced the dissipation of soil tetracycline, sulfadiazine, roxithromycin, and chloramphenicol, decreased the water-soluble fractions of antibiotics, and declined the diversity of ARB/ARGs inside the vegetable. Moreover, quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis detected that ARG levels in the bell pepper fruits significantly decreased to 10(-10) copies/16S copies, indicating limited risk of ARGs transferring along the food chain. Furthermore, the restoration of soil microbial biological function suggests that calcined eggshell is an environmentally friendly amendment to control the dissemination of soil ARB/ARGs in the soil-vegetable system.201627333280
794130.9849Microplastics accelerate nitrification, shape the microbial community, and alter antibiotic resistance during the nitrifying process. Microplastics (MPs) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are both emerging pollutants that are frequently detected in wastewater treatment plants. In this study, the effects of various MPs, including polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA), on nitrification performance, dominant microbial communities, and antibiotic resistance during nitrification were investigated. The results revealed that the addition of MPs increased the specific ammonia oxidation rate and specific nitrate production rate by 15.2 % - 15.5 % and 8.0 % - 11.6 %, respectively, via enrichment of nitrifying microorganisms, Nitrospira and Nitrosomonas. Moreover, ARGs were selectively enriched in nitrifying sludge and microplastic biofilms under stress from different MPs. Compared with PE-MPs (23.9 %) and PVC-MPs (21.4 %), exposure to PLA-MPs significantly increased intI1 abundance by 51.6 %. The results of the variance decomposition analysis implied that MPs and the microbial community play important roles in the behavior of ARGs. Network analysis indicated that Nitrosomonas and potentially pathogenic bacteria emerged as possible hosts, harboring ARGs and intI1 genes in the nitrifying sludge and microplastic biofilms. Critically, PLA-MPs were found to enrich both ARGs and potential pathogenic bacteria during nitrification, which should be considered in their promotion of application processes due to their biodegradability.202539740624
805840.9848Effects of biochars on the fate of antibiotics and their resistance genes during vermicomposting of dewatered sludge. It is currently still difficult to decrease the high contents of antibiotics and their corresponding antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in sludge vermicompost. To decrease the environmental risk of vermicompost as a bio-fertilizer, this study investigated the feasibility of biochar addition to decrease the levels of antibiotics and ARGs during vermicomposting of dewatered sludge. To achieve this, 1.25% and 5% of corncob and rice husk biochars, respectively, were added to sludge, which was then vermicomposted by Eisenia fetida for 60 days. The sludge blended with corncob biochar showed increased decomposition and humification of organic matter. Higher biochar concentration promoted both the number and diversity of bacteria, and differed dominant genera. The level of antibiotics significantly decreased as a result of biochar addition (P < 0.05), and tetracycline was completely removed. Relative to the control without addition of biochars, ermF and tetX genes significantly decreased with corncob biochar treatment (P < 0.05). Rice husk biochar (5%) could effectively decrease sul-1 and sul-2 genes in vermicompost (P < 0.05). However, the abundance of the intI-1 gene increased with biochar concentration. This study suggests that biochar addition can lessen the antibiotic and ARG pollution in sludge vermicompost, depending on the type and concentration of biochars.202032388093
812950.9846Pesticide contamination and antimicrobial resistance: Two threats to the Neotropical Otter (Lontra longicaudis) in the Peñas Blancas River Basin, Costa Rica. The effects of synthetic pesticides on antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) in bacterial communities from contaminated waters are unclear. Otters in the Peñas Blancas basin encounter various anthropogenic residues, including pesticides. In 2022, we analyzed the presence of pesticides in six water samples and ARGs in eight otter fecal samples. Thirteen pesticides (herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and multi-target) and seven ARGs (qnrS, tetA, tetB, tetQ, tetW, sulI, sulII) were detected. Regulated pesticides such as chlorpyrifos and ethoprophos, along with diazinon, diuron, imidacloprid, and terbutryn were found. These pesticides have been implicated in promoting antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria, particularly when combined with sub-lethal doses of antibiotics. Elevated levels of ethoprophos (0.67 ng/L) and a fecal sample containing four ARGs (tetA, tetB, sulI, and sulII) came from the upper basin. Our findings reveal pesticide application practices in the region, and highlight the potential risk of pesticide exposure to wildlife, including development of AMR.202540473152
811560.9845Effects of reductive soil disinfestation on potential pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes in soil. Reductive soil disinfestation (RSD) is commonly employed for soil remediation in greenhouse cultivation. However, its influence on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in soil remains uncertain. This study investigated the dynamic changes in soil communities, potential bacterial pathogens, and ARG profiles under various organic material treatments during RSD, including distillers' grains, potato peel, peanut vine, and peanut vine combined with charcoal. Results revealed that applying diverse organic materials in RSD significantly altered bacterial community composition and diminished the relative abundance of potential bacterial pathogens (P < 0.05). The relative abundance of high-risk ARGs decreased by 10.7%-30.6% after RSD treatments, the main decreased ARG subtypes were AAC(3)_Via, dfrA1, ErmB, lnuB, aadA. Actinobacteria was the primary host of ARGs and was suppressed by RSD. Soil physicochemical properties, such as total nitrogen, soil pH, total carbon, were crucial factors affecting ARG profiles. Our findings demonstrated that RSD treatment inhibited pathogenic bacteria and could be an option for reducing high-risk ARG proliferation in soil.202539306413
787670.9845Sulfamethoxazole impact on pollutant removal and microbial community of aerobic granular sludge with filamentous bacteria. In this study, sulfamethoxazole (SMX) was employed to investigate its impact on the process of aerobic granule sludge with filamentous bacteria (FAGS). FAGS has shown great tolerance ability. FAGS in a continuous flow reactor (CFR) could keep stable with 2 μg/L of SMX addition during long-term operation. The NH(4)(+), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and SMX removal efficiencies kept higher than 80%, 85%, and 80%, respectively. Both adsorption and biodegradation play important roles in SMX removal for FAGS. The extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) might play important role in SMX removal and FAGS tolerance to SMX. The EPS content increased from 157.84 mg/g VSS to 328.22 mg/g VSS with SMX addition. SMX has slightly affected on microorganism community. A high abundance of Rhodobacter, Gemmobacter, and Sphaerotilus of FAGS may positively correlate to SMX. The SMX addition has led to the increase in the abundance of the four sulfonamide resistance genes in FAGS.202336871701
799180.9845'Agricultural Waste to Treasure' - Biochar and eggshell to impede soil antibiotics/antibiotic resistant bacteria (genes) from accumulating in Solanum tuberosum L. Soil contamination with antibiotics and antibiotic resistant bacteria/genes (ARB/ARGs) has becoming an emerging environmental problem. Moreover, the mixed pollutants' transfer and accumulation from soil to tuberous vegetables has posed a great threat against food security and human health. In this work, the application of two absorbing materials (maize biochar and sulfate modified eggshell) was able to reduce the poisonous effect of soil antibiotics on potato root system by stimulate the dissipation of water-soluble antibiotics in soil; and also improve food quality by increasing potato starch, protein, fat, and vitamins. Meanwhile, both amendments could effectively decrease the classes and the accumulative abundance of ARB and ARGs (sulI, sulII, catI, catII, ermA, ermB) in the edible parts of potato. The lowest abundance of ARGs was detected in the biochar application treatment, with the accumulative ARG level of 8.9 × 10(2) and 7.2 × 10(2) copies mL(-1) in potato peel (sull + catI + ermA) and tuberous root (sulI), respectively. It is the first study to demonstrate the feasibility of biochar and eggshell derived from agricultural wastes as green absorbing materials to reduce soil antibiotic, ARB, and ARGs accumulation risk in tuberous vegetable.201829945818
699190.9844Distribution and drivers of antibiotic resistance genes in brackish water aquaculture sediment. Brackish water aquaculture has brought numerous economic benefits, whereas anthropogenic activities in aquaculture may cause the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in brackish water sediments. The intricate relationships between environmental factors and microbial communities as well as their role in ARGs dissemination in brackish water aquaculture remain unclear. This study applied PCR and 16S sequencing to identify the variations in ARGs, class 1 integron gene (intI1) and microbial communities in brackish water aquaculture sediment. The distribution of ARGs in brackish water aquaculture sediment was similar to that in freshwater aquaculture, and the sulfonamide resistance gene sul1 was the indicator of ARGs. Proteobacteria and Firmicutes were the dominant phyla, and Paenisporosarcina (p_ Firmicutes) was the dominant genus. The results of correlation, network and redundancy analysis indicated that the microbial community in the brackish water aquaculture sediment was function-driven. The neutral model and variation partitioning analysis were used to verify the ecological processes of the bacterial community. The normalized stochasticity ratio showed that pond bacteria community was dominated by determinacy, which was affected by aquaculture activities. The total nitrogen and organic matter influenced the abundance of ARGs, while Proteobacteria and Thiobacillus (p_Proteobacteria) were the key antibiotic-resistant hosts. Our study provides insight into the prevalence of ARGs in brackish water aquaculture sediments, and indicates that brackish water aquaculture is a reservoir of ARGs.202336436623
7905100.9844Long-term responses of antibiotic resistance genes under high concentration of enrofloxacin, sulfadiazine and triclosan in aerobic granular sludge system. It is worth to reveal the long-term responses of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in aerobic granular sludge (AGS) system exposed to high level enrofloxacin (ENR), sulfadiazine (SDZ) and triclosan (TCS). In present study, ppm level ENR, SDZ and TCS were added into three AGS reactors, respectively. ARGs in ENR and SDZ systems showed trends of increasing first and then decreasing, which were contrary to that in TCS system. 80%, 56% and 40% ARGs in ENR, SDZ and TCS systems, respectively, were enriched after loading, but several ARGs still kept high enrichment values after the withdrawn of loadings. The dominant bacteria in ENR (Flavobacterium), SDZ (Candidatus_Competibacter and Defluviicoccus) and TCS (Defluviicoccus) systems might contribute to the reductions of ARGs. IntI1 altered the overall ARGs profiles through horizontal gene transfer. The interactions of bacterial communities and environmental factors might be responsible for the different ARGs patterns in ENR, SDZ and TCS systems.202032470826
8098110.9844Elimination of antibiotic resistance genes and human pathogenic bacteria by earthworms during vermicomposting of dewatered sludge by metagenomic analysis. This study used a metagenomic approach to investigate the effects of earthworms on ARGs and HPB during the vermicomposting of dewatered sludge. Results showed that 139 types of ARGs were found in sludge vermicompost, affiliated to 30 classes. Compared with the control, the total abundance of ARGs in sludge vermicompost decreased by 41.5%. Moreover, the types and sequences of plasmids and integrons were also decreased by vermicomposting. Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria were the most dominant hosts of ARGs in sludge vermicompost. In addition, earthworms reduced the total HPB abundance and modified their diversity, thus leading to higher abundance of Enterobacteriaceae in sludge vermicompost. However, the sludge vermicompost was still ARG and HPB enriched, indicating a remaining environmental risk for agricultural purpose. The observed change of microbial community and the reduction of mobile genetic elements caused by earthworm activity are the main reasons for the alleviation of ARG pollution during vermicomposting.202031787516
7940120.9844Microplastics affect the ammonia oxidation performance of aerobic granular sludge and enrich the intracellular and extracellular antibiotic resistance genes. Microplastics (MPs) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), as emerging pollutants, are frequently detected in wastewater treatment plants, and their threats to the environment have received extensive attentions. However, the effects of MPs on the nitrification of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) and the spread patterns of intracellular and extracellular ARGs (iARGs and eARGs) in AGS were still unknown. In this study, the responses of AGS to the exposure of 1, 10 and 100 mg/L of typical MPs (polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyamide (PA), polystyrene (PS) and polyethylene (PE)) and tetracycline were focused on in 3 L nitrifying sequencing batch reactors. 10 mg/L MPs decreased the nitrification function, but nitrification could recover. Furthermore, MPs inhibited ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and enriched nitrite-oxidizing bacteria, leading partial nitrification to losing stability. PVC, PA and PS stimulated the secretion of extracellular polymeric substances and reactive oxygen species. PE had less negative effect on AGS than PVC, PA and PS. The abundances of iARGs and eARGs (tetW, tetE and intI1) increased significantly and the intracellular and extracellular microbial communities obviously shifted in AGS system under MPs stress. Potential pathogenic bacteria might be the common hosts of iARGs and eARGs in AGS system and were enriched in AGS and MPs biofilms.202133387747
8107130.9843Effects of micron-scale zero valent iron on behaviors of antibiotic resistance genes and pathogens in thermophilic anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge. This work investigated the metagenomics-based behavior and risk of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and their potential hosts during thermophilic anaerobic digestion (TAD) of waste activated sludge, enhanced by micron-scale zero valent iron (mZVI). Tests were conducted with 0, 25, 100, and 250 mg mZVI/g total solids (TS). Results showed that up to 7.3% and 4.8% decrease in ARGs' abundance and diversity, respectively, were achieved with 100 mg mZVI/g TS. At these conditions, ARGs with health risk in abundance and human pathogenic bacteria (HPB) diversity were also decreased by 8.3% and 3.6%, respectively. Additionally, mZVI reduced abundance of 72 potential pathogenic supercarriers for ARGs with high health risk by 2.5%, 5.0%, and 6.1%, as its dosage increased. Overall, mZVI, especially at 100 mg/g TS, can mitigate antibiotic resistance risk in TAD. These findings are important for better understanding risks of ARGs and their pathogenic hosts in ZVI-enhanced TAD of solid wastes.202336931448
8021140.9843The profile of antibiotic resistance genes in pig manure composting shaped by composting stage: Mesophilic-thermophilic and cooling-maturation stages. The variation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and influential factors in pig manure composting were investigated by conducting simulated composting tests using four different supplement materials (wheat straw, corn straw, poplar sawdust and spent mushroom). The results show that the relative abundance of total ARGs increased by 0.19-1.61 logs after composting, and tetX, sulI, sulII, dfrA1 and aadA were the major contributors. The variations of ARG profiles and bacterial communities throughout the composting were clearly divided into mesophilic-thermophilic and cooling-maturation stages in all tests, while different supplement materials did not exert a noticeable influence. Network analysis demonstrated the diversity of bacterial hosts for ARGs, the existence of multiple antibiotic resistant bacteria, and the weak correlations between ARGs and physicochemical factors in the composting piles. Of note, integron intI1 and Mycobacterium (a potential pathogen) were positively correlated with eight and four ARGs, respectively, that displayed increased abundance after composting.202032109697
7900150.9843Biochar-amended constructed wetlands enhance sulfadiazine removal and reduce resistance genes accumulation in treatment of mariculture wastewater. With the rapid development of mariculture, an increasing amount of antibiotics are being discharged into the marine environment. Effectively removing antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in mariculture wastewater with a relatively high salinity and low C/N presents challenges. Biochar-amended constructed wetlands (CWs) can effectively remove antibiotics, However, few studies have compared the impacts of biochar-amended CWs pyrolyzed at different temperatures on the treatment of mariculture wastewater. Thus, this study utilized biochar prepared at three temperatures as substrate for CWs (CW-300, CW-500, and CW-700), aiming to evaluate their efficiency to treat mariculture wastewater containing antibiotic sulfadiazine (SDZ). The results demonstrated that compared to traditional quartz sand-filled CW (NCW), the addition of biochar with a larger specific surface area significantly enhanced the removal efficiency of SDZ by 21.72%-46.96%. Additionally, the addition of biochar effectively reduced the relative abundance of one integron gene (int1) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) including sul1, sul2, and sul3 in both effluent and substrates. The addition of biochar reduced the accumulation of extracellular polymeric substances within the substrate of CWs, thereby mitigating the proliferation and spread of ARGs. The microbial community structure indicated that the addition of biochar increased the abundance of the potential antibiotic-degrading bacteria such as Proteobacteria and Bacteroidota, facilitating the degradation of SDZ and mitigating the accumulation of ARGs. This study demonstrated that biochar can be a promising substrate in CWs for treating mariculture wastewater containing antibiotics.202539986428
7160160.9843High-throughput profiling of antibiotic resistance genes in the Yellow River of Henan Province, China. Profiling antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the Yellow River of China's Henan Province is essential for understanding the health risks of antibiotic resistance. The profiling of ARGs was investigated using high-throughput qPCR from water samples in seven representative regions of the Yellow River. The absolute and relative abundances of ARGs and moble genetic elements (MGEs) were higher in summer than in winter (ANOVA, p < 0.001). The diversity and abundance of ARGs were higher in the Yellow River samples from PY and KF than the other sites. Temperature (r = 0.470 ~ 0.805, p < 0.05) and precipitation (r = 0.492 ~ 0.815, p < 0.05) positively influenced the ARGs, while pH had a negative effect (r = - 0.462 ~ - 0.849, p < 0.05). Network analysis indicated that the pathogenic bacteria Rahnella, Bacillus, and Shewanella were the possible hub hosts of ARGs, and tnpA1 was the potential MGE hub. These findings provide insights into the factors influencing ARG dynamics and the complex interaction among the MGEs, pathogenic bacteria and environmental parameters in enriching ARGs in the Yellow River of Henan Province.202439080455
8019170.9843In-feed antibiotic use changed the behaviors of oxytetracycline, sulfamerazine, and ciprofloxacin and related antibiotic resistance genes during swine manure composting. The dynamics of oxytetracycline (OTC), sulfamerazine (SM1), ciprofloxacin (CIP) and related antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during swine manure composting were compared between manure collected from swine fed a diet containing these three antibiotics (T(D)) and manure directly spiked with these drugs (T(S)). The composting removal efficiency of OTC (94.9 %) and CIP (87.8 %) in the T(D) treatment was significantly higher than that of OTC (83.8 %, P <  0.01) and CIP (83.9 %, P <  0.05) in the T(S) treatment, while SM1 exhibited no significant difference (P >  0.05) between the two treatments. Composting effectively reduced the majority of ARGs in both T(D) and T(S) types of manure, especially tetracycline resistance genes (TRGs). Compared with the T(S) treatment, the abundance of some ARGs, such as tetG, qepA, sul1 and sul2, increased dramatically up to 309-fold in the T(D) treatment. The microbial composition of the composting system changed significantly during composting due to antibiotic feeding. Redundancy analysis suggested that the abundance of ARGs had a considerable impact on alterations in the physicochemical parameters (C/N, pH and temperature) and bacterial communities (Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria and Firmicutes) during the composting of swine manure.202133254754
6908180.9843Impact of the surrounding environment on antibiotic resistance genes carried by microplastics in mangroves. The pollution of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) carried by microplastics (MPs) is a growing concern. Mangroves are located at the intersection of land and sea and are seriously affected by MP pollution. However, few studies have systematic research evaluating the transmission risk of ARGs carried by MPs in mangroves. We conducted in situ experiments by burying five different MPs (polypropylene, high-density polyethylene, polystyrene, polyethylene glycol terephthalate, and polycaprolactone particles) in mangroves with different surrounding environments. A total of 10 genes in the MPs of mangroves were detected using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reactions, including eight ARGs and two mobile genetic elements (MGEs). The abundance of ARGs in Guanhai park mangroves in living areas (GH) was higher than that of Gaoqiao mangroves in protected areas (GQ) and Beiyue dike mangroves in aquaculture pond areas (BY). Pathogenic bacteria, such as Acinetobacter, Bacillus, and Vibrio were found on the MP surfaces of the mangroves. The number of ARGs carried by multiple drug-resistant bacteria in the GH mangroves was greater than that in the GQ and BY mangroves. Moreover, the ARGs carried by MPs in GH mangroves had the highest potential transmission risk by horizontal gene transfer. Sociometric and environmental factors were the main drivers shaping the distribution characteristics of ARGs and MGEs. Polypropylene and high-density polyethylene particles are preferred substrates for obtaining diffuse ARGs. This study investigated the drivers of ARGs in the MPs of mangroves and provided essential guidance on the use and handling of plastics.202235537514
8059190.9843Particle 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
