Abstract
The dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in soil has become a global environmental issue. Vermicomposting is gaining prominence in agricultural practices as a soil amendment to improve soil quality. However, its impact on soil ARGs remains unclear when it occurs in farmland. We comprehensively explored the evolution and fate of ARGs and their hosts in the field soil profiles under vermicompost application for more than 3 years. Vermicompost application increased several ARG loads in soil environment but decreased the high-risk bla-ARGs (blaampC, blaNDM, and blaGES-1) by log(0.04 - 0.43). ARGs in soil amended with vermicompost primarily occurred in topsoil (approximately 1.04-fold of unfertilized soil), but it is worth noting that their levels in the 40-60 cm soil layer were the same or even less than in the unfertilized soil. The microbial community structure changed in soil profiles after vermicompost application. Vermicompost application altered the microbial community structure in soil profiles, showing that the dominant bacteria (i.e., Proteobacteria, Actinobacteriota, Firmicutes) were decreased 2.62%-5.48% with the increase of soil depth. A network analysis further revealed that most of ARG dominant host bacteria did not migrate from surface soil to deep soil. In particular, those host bacteria harboring high-risk bla-ARGs were primarily concentrated in the surface soil. This study highlights a lower risk of the propagation of ARGs caused by vermicompost application and provides a novel approach to reduce and relieve the dissemination of ARGs derived from animals in agricultural production.

Mechanisms for more efficient antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes removal during industrialized treatment of over 200 tons of tylosin and spectinomycin mycelial dregs by integrated meta-omics. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 401:130715.

Abstract
To mitigate the environmental risks posed by the accumulation of antibiotic mycelial dregs (AMDs), this study first attempted over 200 tons of mass production fermentation (MP) using tylosin and spectinomycin mycelial dregs alongside pilot-scale fermentation (PS) for comparison, utilizing the integrated-omics and qPCR approaches. Co-fermentation results showed that both antibiotics were effectively removed in all treatments, with an average removal rate of 92%. Antibiotic resistance gene (ARG)-related metabolic pathways showed that rapid degradation of antibiotics was associated with enzymes that inactivate macrolides and aminoglycosides (e.g., K06979, K07027, K05593). Interestingly, MP fermentations with optimized conditions had more efficient ARGs removal because homogenization permitted faster microbial succession, with more stable removal of antibiotic resistant bacteria and mobile genetic elements. Moreover, Bacillus reached 75% and secreted antioxidant enzymes that might inhibit horizontal gene transfer of ARGs. The findings confirmed the advantages of MP fermentation and provided a scientific basis for other AMDs.

Abstract
Fate of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during composting of antibiotic fermentation waste (AFW) is a major concern. This review article focuses on recent literature published on this subject. The key findings are that antibiotics can be removed effectively during AFW composting, with higher temperatures, appropriate bulking agents, and suitable pretreatments improving their degradation. ARGs dynamics during composting are related to bacteria and mobile genetic elements (MGEs). Higher temperatures, suitable bulking agents and an appropriate C/N ratio (30:1) lead to more efficient removal of ARGs/MGEs by shaping the bacterial composition. Keeping materials dry (moisture less than 30%) and maintaining pH stable around 7.5 after composting could inhibit the rebound of ARGs. Overall, safer utilization of AFW can be realized by optimizing composting conditions. However, further removal of antibiotics and ARGs at low levels, degradation mechanism of antibiotics, and spread mechanism of ARGs during AFW composting require further investigation.

Abstract
The metagenomics-based behavior and risk of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) were investigated during cattle manure thermophilic anaerobic digestion with tetracycline and copper, namely, bulk-copper oxide, nano-copper oxide, and copper sulfate, which are common feed additives. Although bulk-copper oxide reduced ARGs' diversity, it enriched high-risk ARGs the most than the other two copper species, while copper sulfate could strongly mitigate the ARG risk by decreasing their abundances. Compared to corresponding individual effects, copper and tetracycline combinations may decrease ARGs' co-occurrence potential by 22.0%, and particularly, tetracycline combined separately with copper sulfate and nano-copper oxide reduces the ARGs' risk in abundance (by 7.2%) and human health (by 4.0%). These were mainly driven by bioavailable copper, volatile fatty acids, and pH, as well as the main potential hosts in phyla Firmicutes, Coprothermobacterota, and Euryarchaeota. Notably, the twin risks of pathogenicity and ARGs should be emphasized due to the ARGs' positive correlation with human pathogens of Clostridioides difficile and Arcobacter peruensis. These findings are important for understanding the potential ARGs' risk in treatments of livestock wastes containing feed additives of different sizes and speciation.

Abstract
The effects of microbial inoculants on ARG removal in composting are poorly understood. Here, a co-composting method for food waste and sawdust amended with different microbial agents (MAs) was designed. The results show that the compost without MA unexpectedly achieved the best ARG removal. The addition of MAs markedly increased the abundance of tet, sul and multidrug resistance genes (p < 0.05). Structural equation modeling demonstrated that MAs can enhance the contribution of the microbial community to ARG changes by reshaping community structure and altering the ecological niche, causing the proliferation of individual ARGs, an effect related to the MA component. Network analysis revealed that inoculants weakened the correlation between ARGs and community but increased the linkage between ARGs and core species, suggesting that inoculant-induced ARG proliferation may correspond with gene exchange occurring mainly between core species. The outcome provides new insights into MA application for ARG removal in waste treatment.

Abstract
Enrichment plants were screened from six forage grasses in this study to establish a complete combined forage grass-microbial remediation system of strontium-contaminated soil, and microbial groups were added to the screened dominant forage grasses. The occurrence states of strontium in forage grasses were explored by the BCR sequential extraction method. The results showed that the annual removal rate of Sudan grass (Sorghum sudanense (Piper) Stapf.) reached 23.05% in soil with a strontium concentration of 500 mg·kg-1. Three dominant microbial groups: E, G and H, have shown good facilitation effects in co-remediation with Sudan grass and Gaodan grass (Sorghum bicolor × sudanense), respectively. When compared to the control, the strontium accumulation of forage grasses in kg of soil with microbial groups was increased by 0.5-4 fold. The optimal forage grass-microbial combination can theoretically repair contaminated soil in three years. The microbial group E was found to promote the transfer of the exchangeable state and the reducible state of strontium to the overground part of the forage grass. Metagenomic sequencing results showed that the addition of microbial groups increased Bacillus spp. in rhizosphere soil, enhanced the disease resistance and tolerance of forage grasses, and improved the remediation ability of forage grass-microbial combinations.

Spatial distribution of bacterial resistance towards antibiotics of rural sanitation system in China and its potential link with diseases incidence. J Environ Sci (China) 2023; 127:361-374.

Abstract
Chinese government is vigorously promoting toilet renovation in rural areas to reduce the risk of human feces exposure, which would cause infectious diseases, especially antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and pathogens. However, the distribution of ARGs in human feces from different regions of China remained ill-defined. It is not yet known how the survival of ARGs after toilet treatment is associated with the regional infection rates. Here, we investigated the prevalence of ARGs in human feces in rural areas of China and their potential relationship with infectious diseases for the first large-scale. The results showed that there were still high ARGs residues in human feces after rural toilet treatment, especially tetM-01 and ermB with average relative abundance as high as 1.21 × 10-1 (Eastern) and 1.56 × 10-1 (Northern), respectively. At a large regional scale, the significant differences in human feces resistomes were mainly shaped by the toilet types, TN, NH3-N, and the bacterial community. A critical finding was that toilets still cannot effectively decrease the pathogenicity risk in human feces. The significant positive relationship (P<0.05) between infectious diseases and ARGs can infer that ARGs in human feces exposure might be a critical path for enhancing the incidence of diseases, as these ARGs hinder the effectiveness of antibiotics.

Abstract
With the growing concerns about antibiotic resistance, it is more and more important to prevent the environmental pollution caused by antibiotic fermentation residues. In this study, composted erythromycin fermentation residue (EFR) with the mixture of cattle manure and maize straw at ratios of 0:10 (CK), 1:10 (T1), and 3:10 (T2) explores the effects on physicochemical characteristics, mobile genetic elements (MGEs), and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Results reflected that the addition of EFR reduced the carbon/nitrogen ratio of each compost and improved the piles' temperature, which promoted the composting process. However, the contents of Na+, SO42-, and erythromycin were also significantly increased. After 30 days of composting, the degradation rates of erythromycin in CK, T1, and T2 were 72.7%, 20.3%, and 37.1%, respectively. Meanwhile, the total positive rates for 26 detected ARGs in T1 and T2 were 65.4%, whereas that of CK was only 23.1%. Further analysis revealed that ARGs responsible for ribosomal protection, such as ermF, ermT, and erm(35), dominated the composts of T1 and T2, and most were correlated with IS613, electrical conductivity (EC), nitrogen, and Zn2+. Above all, adding EFR helps to improve the nutritional value of composts, but the risks in soil salinization and ARG enrichment caused by high EC and erythromycin content should be further investigated and eliminated.

Abstract
Heavy metals are naturally occurring environmental compounds, which can influence antimicrobial resistance (AMR) dissemination. However, there is limited information on how heavy metals may act as a selective pressure on AMR in the primary food production environment. This review aims to examine the literature on this topic in order to identify knowledge gaps. A total of 73 studies, which met pre-established criteria, were included. These investigations were undertaken between 2008 and 2021, with a significant increase in the last three years. The majority of studies included were undertaken in China. Soil, water and manure were the most common samples analysed, and the sampling locations varied from areas with a natural presence of heavy metals, areas intentionally amended with heavy metals or manure, to areas close to industrial activity or mines. Fifty-four per cent of the investigations focused on the analysis of four or more heavy metals, and copper and zinc were the metals most frequently analysed (n = 59, n = 49, respectively). The findings of this review highlight a link between heavy metals and AMR in the primary food production environment. Heavy metals impacted the abundance and dissemination of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs), with MGEs also observed as playing a key role in the spread of ARGs and metal resistance genes (MRGs). Harmonization of methodologies used in future studies would increase the opportunity for comparison between studies. Further research is also required to broaden the availability of data at a global level.

Abstract
Erythromycin fermentation residue (EFR) after spray drying could be reused as a soil amendment. However, the effects of spray-dried EFR on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), nitrogen cycling, and microbial community structure in soil are rarely reported. In this study, a pot experiment was conducted by adding spray-dried EFR to soil. For the application of 1.0% spray-dried EFR, the residual erythromycin (ERY) could be rapidly removed with the half-life of 22.2 d; the total relative abundance of ARGs increased at first, but decreased to the initial level of the control group in the end; genes related to ammonium assimilation (glnA, gltB, gltD), ammonification (gdhA, gudB, cynT, cynS, ncd2), denitrification (narI, narG, narH), assimilatory nitrate reduction (nirA, nasA), and dissimilatory nitrate reduction (nirD) were enriched; soil microbial community structure presented temporary variation. Network analysis showed significant negative correlations between ARGs and nitrogen cycling genes. The addition of 6.0% spray-dried EFR resulted in the amplification of ARGs and inhibition of nitrogen cycling. This work provides new insights into the effects of spray-dried EFR on ARGs, nitrogen cycling, and microbial community structure within the fertilized soil.

Abstract
Agricultural fertilization caused the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in agro-ecological environment, which poses a global threat to crop-food safety and human health. However, few studies are known about the influence of different agricultural fertilization modes on antibiotic resistome in the paddy-upland rotation soils. Therefore, we conducted a field experiment to compare the effect of different fertilization (chemical fertilizer, slow release fertilizer and commercial organic fertilizer replacement at various rates) on soil antibiotic resistome in paddy-upland rotation fields. Results revealed that a total of 100 ARG subtypes and 9 mobile genetic elements (MGEs) occurred in paddy-upland rotation soil, among which MDR-ARGs, MLSB-ARGs and tet-ARGs were the dominant resistance determinants. Long-term agricultural fertilization remarkably facilitated the vertical accumulation of ARGs, in particular that bla ampC and tetO in relative abundance showed significant enrichment with increasing depth. It's worth noting that slow release fertilizer significantly increased soil ARGs, when comparable to manure with 20% replacing amount, but chemical fertilizer had only slight impact on soil ARGs. Fertilization modes affected soil microbial communities, mainly concentrated in the surface layer, while the proportion of Proteobacteria with the highest abundance decreased gradually with increasing depth. Furthermore, microbial community and MGEs were further proved to be essential factors in regulating the variability of ARGs of different fertilization modes by structural equation model, and had strong direct influence (λ = 0.61, p < 0.05; λ = 0. 55, p < 0.01). The results provided scientific guidance for reducing the spreading risk of ARGs and control ARG dissemination in agricultural fertilization.

Abstract
Considering the main problems presented in the typical solid wastes antibiotic fermentation dregs (AFDs) composting that the residual antibiotics could result in the propagation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and the reduced value of agronomic production caused by the ammonia gas (NH3) emissions. This study established a bio-augmented tylosin fermentation dregs (TFDs) aerobic co-composting system to investigate the effects of a novel isolated high-efficiency strain Klebsiella sp. TN-1 inoculation on tylosin degradation, reduction in ammonia emissions, and ARG abundances during this process. Results showed that the application of strain Klebsiella sp. TN-1 extended the thermophilic stage and promoted compost maturity. Moreover, bio-enhanced co-composting with strain Klebsiella sp. TN-1 led to a totally degradation of tylosin, and removed most of ARGs, metal resistance genes (MRGs) and mobile genetic elements (MGEs), and also effectively reduce ammonia emission by 49.76 %.via increasing ammoxidation rates. Principal co-ordinates analysis further suggested that the strain Klebsiella sp. TN-1 had little influence on the bacterial community composition, while the changes of other physical and chemical properties during this process were the main reasons for the evolution of bacterial community and propagation of ARGs in the TFDs co-composting. This study suggests the potential of the bio-enhanced strain Klebsiella sp. TN-1 for antibiotic biodegradation and its application for nitrogen conservation in the AFDs co-composting process, which could decrease the risk of ARGs spreading and make compost products more secure.

Abstract
The spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) has become an increasingly serious global public health issue. This study investigated the distribution characteristics and influencing factors of ARB and ARGs in greenhouse vegetable soils with long-term application of manure. Five typical ARGs, four heavy metal resistance genes (MRGs), and two mobile genetic elements (MGEs) were quantified by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The amount of ARB in manure-improved soil greatly exceeded that in control soil, and the bacterial resistance rate decreased significantly with increases in antibiotic concentrations. In addition, the resistance rate of ARB to enrofloxacin (ENR) was lower than that of tylosin (TYL). Real-time qPCR results showed that long-term application of manure enhanced the relative abundance of ARGs in vegetable soils, and the content and proportion of quinolone resistance genes were higher than those of macrolide resistance genes. Redundancy analysis (RDA) showed that qepA and qnrS significantly correlated with total and available amounts of Cu and Zn, highlighting that certain heavy metals can influence persistence of ARGs. Integrase gene intI1 correlated significantly with the relative abundance of qepA, qnrS, and ermF, suggesting that intI1 played an important role in the horizontal transfer of ARGs. Furthermore, there was a weakly but not significantly positive correlation between specific detected MRGs and ARGs and MGEs. The results of this study enhance understanding the potential for increasing ARGs in manure-applied soil, assessing ecological risk and reducing the spread of ARGs.

Abstract
The removal efficiency of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is the biggest challenge for the treatment of erythromycin fermentation residue (EFR). In the current research, 0% (control), 10% (T1), and 30% (T2) spray-dried EFR were composted with bulking materials, consisting of cattle manure and maize straw, for 30 days. Environmental factors and bacterial community on the behaviors of ARGs were further investigated. Apart from the high levels of erythromycin, the electrical conductivities were also increased by 66.7% and 291.7% in the samples of T1 and T2, respectively. After 30 days of composting, total ARGs in the samples of control were decreased by 78.1%-91.2%, but those of T1 and T2 were increased 14.5-16.7- and 38.5-68.7-fold. ARGs related to ribosomal protection (erm) dominated the samples of T1 and T2 at D 13 and 30, especially that ermF accounted for more than 80% of the total ARGs. Furthermore, the results of bacterial community revealed that EFR promoted the growth of Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes, but inhibited that of Actinobacteria, Verrucomicrobia and Chloroflexi. Network analysis revealed that the enriched ARGs had strong correlation with seven bacterial genera, including Halomonas, Oceanobacillus, and Alcaligenes, most of which are halotolerant. Above all, erythromycin combined with high salinity can have synergistic effect on the enrichment of ARGs and their hosts.

Abstract
Spiramycin (SPI) fermentation residue (SFR) is classified as hazardous waste in China because of the residual antibiotics in it. SFR disposal in the traditional way is costly and wasteful of resources. In this study, pyrolysis method was adopted to covert SFR to biochar for SPI removal from wastewater, and the SPI adsorption performance was investigated. The results showed that the optimal pyrolysis temperature was 700 °C as the prepared biochar BC700 exhibited the highest SPI removal efficiency. The specific surface area of BC700 was 451.68 m2/g, and the maximum adsorption capacity was 147.28 mg/g. The adsorption mechanism involved electrostatic interaction, pore filling, π-π interaction, hydrogen bonding, and the participation of C-C and O-CO functional groups in the adsorption. No residual SPI was detected in BC700 indicating the detoxification of SFR was achieved. Moreover, after recycling for 5 times, the SPI removal efficiency was still higher than 80.0%. Therefore, this study could provide a promising method for SFR disposal.

Abstract
For efficient treatment of tylosin mycelial dregs (TMDs), rapid tylosin removal mechanism and dynamics of ARGs during TMDs fermentation were investigated using integrated meta-omics (genomics, metaproteomics and metabolomics) and qPCR approaches. The results showed that over 86% of tylosin was degraded on day 7 regardless of the type of bulking agents. The rapid removal of tylosin was mainly attributed to de-mycarose reaction (GH3) and esterase hydrolysis (C7MYQ7) of Saccharomonospora, and catalase-peroxidase oxidation of Bacillus (A0A077JB13). In addition, the moisture content and mobile genetic elements were vital to control the rebound of ARGs. The removal efficiency of antibiotic resistant bacteria (Streptomyces, Pseudomonas, norank_f__Sphingobacteriaceae, and Paenalcaligenes) and Intl1 (98.8%) in fermentation treatment TC21 with corncob as the bulking agent was significantly higher than that in other three treatments (88.3%). Thus, appropriate bulking agents could constrain the abundance of antibiotic resistant bacteria and Intl1, which is crucial to effectively reduce the resistance.

Abstract
Previous research has been demonstrated that the residual unextracted antibiotics in spiramycin fermentation residue (SFR) could be efficiently removed by thermally activated peroxodisulfate (TAP) pretreatment, indicating the improvement of biodegradability. This study aimed to investigate the effect of TAP pretreatment on the succession of bacterial community and fate of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during SFR composting. Results indicated that TAP pretreatment increased the composting temperature and promoted the decomposition of organic matters. Furthermore, TAP pretreatment could increase bacterial alpha diversity and significantly reduce the relative abundance of ARGs (1.13-1.75 times) and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) (1.13-1.32 times) after composting. The compost of pretreated SFR by TAP could reduce the enrichment of ARGs and MGEs in the bacterial community, especially the rRNA methylase genes of ermB (4-142-folds). Redundancy analysis showed that Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria and horizontal gene transfer mediated by MGEs (intI1) was positively related to the changes in ARGs (accounted for 97.4%). Network analysis showed that Firmicutes was the main bacterial hosts of ARGs and MGEs. These findings demonstrated that TAP pretreatment combined composting was a promising strategy for SFR safe treatment and disposal that could reduce the proliferation and transfer of ARGs.

Abstract
Tylosin fermentation residues (TFR) pose an ecotoxicological risk through antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARBs) and their corresponding genes (ARGs). This study evaluated the ecotoxicity of TFR to soil biological activity, and further explored the mechanisms of vermicomposting to reduce the toxicological risk. The results showed that tylosin (TYL) was moderately degradable with a half-life (t1/2) of 37.5 d, inducing 28-44% inhibition rate of nitrogen transformation in soil, and the EC50 of earthworm avoidance was 880 mg/kg. The 30-d vermicomposting reduced the pH and OM content, while increased the EC and TN content, accelerated compost maturation (C/N ratio up to 20), and enriched the microbial community. ARGs were reduced by earthworm through removal of TYL (>70% degradation, t1/2 of <20 d), inhibiting abundance of intI1 and ARBs. We conclude that vermicomposting is an efficient method for TFR treatment and its eco-risk management.

Abstract
Anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) of gentamicin mycelial residues (GMRs), a kind of nitrogen-rich biowaste, and wheat straw (WS) is an attractive technology for the recycling of GMRs. However, the effects of the co-substrate ratio on methane production, system stability and antimicrobial resistance during co-digestion remain unclear. Thus, this study aimed to fill in the blanks through AcoD of GMRs and WS with different mixing ratios (1:0, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 0:1, VS basis) via batch tests. Results showed that AcoD facilitated methane production than mono anaerobic digestion and reduced the accumulation of the toxic substances, such as ammonia nitrogen and humic-like substances. The maximum methane production was obtained at the reactors with the mixing ratio of 1:1 and 1:2 (R-1:1 and R-1:2), which matched with the relative abundance of key enzymes related to methanogenesis predicted by PICRUSt. Microbial community analysis indicated that Methanosaeta was the most dominant methanogen in the AcoD reactors. The highest relative abundance of Methanosaeta (45.1%) was obtained at R-1:1 due to the appropriate AcoD conditions, thus, providing greater possibilities for high stability of AcoD system. Additionally, AcoD of the GMRs and WS under the mixing ratio of 1:1 and 1:2 did not prompt the increase of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Not only that, the likelihood of horizontal gene transfer declined in R-1:1 due to the weaker connection and transport between host and recipient bacteria. Findings of this study suggested that the suitable mixing ratio of GMRs and WS contributes to methane production and system stability, and reduces the dissemination risks of ARGs.

Abstract
The prevalence of bacterial resistance caused by the application of animal manure has become an important environmental issue. Herein, the vertical migration of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and pathogens in soil and vegetables after the application of different fertilizers was explored. The results showed that the application of composted manure considerably enhanced the abundance of most ARGs and pathogens, especially in surface soil and pakchoi roots. Moreover, the soil ARGs increased partially from log 1.93 to log 4.65 after the application of composted manure, and six pathogens were simultaneously detected. It was observed that the increase in soil depth decreased most ARGs and pathogens by log 1.04-2.24 and 53.98 %~85.54 %, respectively. This indicated that ARGs and pathogens still existed in the deep soil (80-100 cm). Moreover, total organic carbon had a significant influence on the pathogen distribution, whereas bacterial communities primarily drove the vertical migration of ARGs rather than environmental factors. Although most of the ARG-host associations observed in the surface soil were disappeared in deep soil as revealed by network analysis, some co-occurrence pattern still occurred in deep soil, suggesting that some ARGs might be carried to deep soil by their host bacteria. These results were novel in describing the vertical migration of ARGs in the environment after the application of different fertilizers, providing ideas for curbing their migration to crops.

Abstract
The global prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is of increasing concern as a serious threat to ecological security and human health. Irrigation with sewage and farmland application of manure or biosolids in agricultural practices introduce substantial selective agents such as antibiotics and toxic metals, aggravating the transfer of ARGs from the soil environment to humans via the food chain. To address this issue, a hyperaccumulator (Sedum plumbizincicola) combined with biochar amendment was first used to investigate the mitigation of the prevalence of ARGs in cadmium and oxytetracycline co-contaminated soil by conducting a pot experiment. The addition of biochar affected the distribution of ARGs in soil and plants differently by enhancing their prevalence in the soil but restraining transmission from the soil to S. plumbizincicola. The planting of S. plumbizincicola resulted in an increase in ARGs in the soil environment. A structural equation model illustrated that mobile genetic elements played a dominant role in shaping the profile of ARGs. Taken together, these findings provide a practical understanding for mitigating the prevalence of ARGs in this soil system with complex contamination and can have profound significance for agricultural management in regard to ARG dissemination control.

Abstract
Composting is an effective technology to recycle organic solid waste as a green resource. However, pharmaceutical fermentation residue (PFR) contains a variety of pollutants, such as residual drug and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), which limits the green cycle of using PFR as a resource. To promote the green recycling of PFR, this study evaluated the characteristics of abundance and the response relationship of ARGs during the process of rapid composting. Different rapid composting samples were collected, and DNA was extracted from each sample. The absolute abundance of ARGs was quantified using quantitative PCR, and the microbial community structure was identified using high-throughput sequencing. The results showed that ermB, ermF, tetM and tetQ were reduced by 89.55%, 15.10%, 89.55%, and 82.30% respectively, and only sul2 increased by approximately 5-fold. Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) directly affected the changes in abundance of ARGs. As typical MGEs, intl1 and intl2 decreased by 3.40% and 54.32%, respectively. Potential host microorganisms important factors that affected ARGs and MGEs. A network analysis indicated that the potential host microorganisms were primarily distributed in Firmicutes and Proteobacteria at the phylum level. The pH and content of water-extractable sulfur were physicochemical parameters that substantially affected the abundance of potential host microorganisms through redundancy analysis. Industrial-scale rapid composting could reduce the number of ARGs and shorten the composting cycle, which merits its popularization and application.

Safety of composts consisting of hydrothermally treated penicillin fermentation residue: Degradation products, antibiotic resistance genes and bacterial diversity. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2021; 290:118075.

Abstract
Combining hydrothermal treatment and composting is an effective method to dispose of penicillin fermentation residue (PFR), but the safety and related mechanism are still unclear. In this study, penicillin solution was hydrothermally treated to decipher its degradation mechanism, and then hydrothermally treated PFR (HT-PFR) was mixed with bulking agents at ratios of 2:0 (CK), 2:1.5 (T1), and 2:5 (T2) to determine the absolute abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and the succession of bacterial community. Results showed that penicillin was degraded to several new compounds without the initial lactam structure after hydrothermal treatment. During composting, temperature and pH of the composts increased with the raising of HT-PFR proportion, except the pH at days 2. After 52 days of composting, the absolute copies of ARGs (blaTEM, blaCMY2, and blaSFO) and the relative abundance of bacteria related to pathogens were reduced significantly (P < 0.05). Especially, the total amount of ARGs in the samples of CK and T1 were decreased to equal level (around 5 log10 copies/g), which indicated that more ARGs were degraded in the latter by the composting process. In the CK samples, Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria accounted for ~69.8% of the total bacteria, but they were gradually replaced by Firmicutes with increasing proportions of HT-PFR, which can be caused by the high protein content in PFR. Consisting with bacterial community, more gram-positive bacteria were observed in T1 and T2, and most of them are related to manganese oxidation and chitinolysis. As composting proceeded, bacteria having symbiotic or pathogenic relationships with animals and plants were reduced, but those related to ureolysis and cellulolysis were enriched. Above all, hydrothermal treatment is effective in destroying the lactam structure of penicillin, which makes that most ARGs and pathogenic bacteria are eliminated in the subsequent composting.

Abstract
A novel bacterial strain that exhibited a high capacity for the simultaneous degradation and removal of tylosin and ammonia nitrogen, respectively, was isolated from tylosin fermentation dregs (TFDs) and identified as Klebsiella pneumoniae TN-1. The removal efficiencies of tylosin and ammonia nitrogen reached 95.31% and 83.26%, respectively, at initial concentrations of 300 mg/L for both. Three identified intermediates with less toxicity indicated that de-sugarization and hydrolysis were the proposed biodegradation pathways. The results also suggested that strain TN-1 could reduce nitrogen loss by transforming ammonium into nitrate nitrogen according to the transcriptional expression of nitrogen transformation-related genes and the activities of functional enzymes. Moreover, strain TN-1 effectively reduced ammonia volatilization by 65.20% and facilitated tylosin degradation, with a maximum removal efficiency of 57.35% in the simulated fermentation process of TFDs. This work provides an efficient bioaugmentation for simultaneous antibiotic degradation and nitrogen conservation during the composting process.

Abstract
Aerobic composting is commonly used to dispose livestock manure and is an efficient way to reduce antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Here, the effects of different quality substrates on the fate of ARGs were assessed during manure composting. Results showed that the total relative abundances of ARGs and intI1 in additive treatments were lower than that in control, and high quality treatment with low C/N ratio and lignin significantly decreased the relative abundance of tetW, ermB, ermC, sul1 and sul2 at the end of composting. Additionally, higher quality treatment reduced the relative abundances of some pathogens such as Actinomadura and Pusillimonas, and some thermotolerant degrading-related bacteria comprising Pseudogracilibacillus and Sinibacillus on day 42, probably owing to the change of composting properties in piles. Structural equation models (SEMs) further verified that the physiochemical properties of composting were the dominant contributor to the variations in ARGs and they could also indirectly impact ARGs by influencing bacterial community and the abundance of intI1. Overall, these findings indicated that additives with high quality reduced the reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes of livestock manure compost.

Abstract
Antibiotic residues together with non-antibiotic drugs and heavy metals act as a selective pressure for the spread of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms (ARMs), antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs), and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) during composting of livestock manure. ARMs, ARGs and MGEs have become emerging contaminants since they are regularly implicated in the majority of compost produced from livestock manure. The prevalence of these contaminants in agricultural soil receiving compost has drawn huge attention globally due to the risks they pose to the total environment. Although a large body of literature exists on the application of composting methods in minimizing the relative abundance of these contaminants, there is a paucity of information on the robustness, limitations and opportunities and threats of various composting protocols currently deployed. To address this knowledge gap, the current review compiled literature on the origin and mechanisms of the proliferation of ARMs, ARGs, and MGEs during composting of livestock manure. The effectiveness of current composting protocols in the reduction or removal of emerging contaminants was evaluated. Furthermore, the potential environmental impacts and human health risks of these contaminants following land application of compost were also presented. Finally, we propose some strategic approaches for the reduction of ARGs and MGEs during composting of livestock manure.

Abstract
A process of antibiotic fermentation residue and sludge pyrolysis to produce biochar was proposed, with antibiotic resistance genes destruction and biochar application in the adsorption of penicillin in water. The results showed that the β-lactam resistance genes were completely destroyed during pyrolysis. The prepared biochar from antibiotic fermentation residues (AFRB) and sludge (AFSB) at 800 °C and 600 °C had a good adsorption effect on the low concentration penicillin in water, with removal efficiencies of 93.32% and 98.50% for penicillin in aqueous solution and maximum adsorption capacities of 44.05 mg/g and 23.26 mg/g, respectively. Characterization of AFRB revealed that its surface was predominantly aromatic carbon, AFSB contained significant amounts of Fe3O4. Weak interactions (H‧‧‧π, H‧‧‧O˭C, π-π interactions) and active sites (aromatic ring, H and -C˭O groups) of penicillin with aromatic structures on AFRB and the chemisorption (-C˭O-Fe-, -C˭OO-Fe-), and active sites (-C˭O, -COO- groups) of penicillin on the (110) surface of Fe3O4 on AFSB were revealed by quantum chemical methods. This work provides a novel pathway for the risk reduction of antibiotic production residue and sludge associated with the generation of biochar for antibiotic removal from the environment.

Abstract
The mcr-1 and blaNDM-1 elimination in copper contamination poultry manure was evaluated by semi-permeable membrane composting. The results showed the mcr-1 in control and high copper groups could not be removed, but mcr-1 decreased superlatively 80.1% in low copper treatment group. BlaNDM-1 was increased after composting, especially the copper addition groups, the results indicated that the relative abundance of mcr-1 and blaNDM-1 was obviously different in the different pile layers of copper treatment groups. Three mobile gene elements (MEGs) correlated both mcr-1 and blaNDM-1,copB correlated mcr-1, czcA and copA correlated both mcr-1 and blaNDM-1. The major phyla were Firmicutes, Bacteroidota, Actinobacteriota and Proteobacteria in all layers. The correlation analysis showed that the antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) potential hosts could be influenced by copper form and physicochemical parameters. Semi-permeable membrane composting could decrease the abundance of major potential pathogens. Furthermore, the composting pile was not homogeneous by semi-permeable membrane composting.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is a great concern, which leads to global public health risks and ecological and environmental risks. The presence of antibiotic-resistant genes and antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the environment exacerbates the risk of spreading antibiotic resistance. Among them, horizontal gene transfer is an important mode in the spread of antibiotic resistance genes, and it is one of the reasons that the antibiotic resistance pollution has become increasingly serious. At the same time, free antibiotic resistance genes and resistance gene host bacterial also exist in the natural environment. They can not only affect horizontal gene transfer, but can also migrate and aggregate among environmental media in many ways and then continue to affect the proliferate and transfer of antibiotic resistance genes. All this shows the seriousness of antibiotic resistance pollution. Therefore, in this review, we reveal the sensitive factors affecting the distribution and spread of antibiotic resistance through three aspects: the influencing factors of horizontal gene transfer, the host bacteria of resistance genes and the migration of antibiotic resistance between environmental media. This review reveals the huge role of environmental migration in the spread of antibiotic resistance, and the environmental behavior of antibiotic resistance deserves wider attention. Meanwhile, extracellular antibiotic resistance genes and intracellular antibiotic resistance genes play different roles, so they should be studied separately.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2021; 216:112177. [PMID: 33839484 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2021.112177] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2020] [Revised: 03/17/2021] [Accepted: 03/19/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Dietary copper and zinc additives facilitate the growth and development of animals, but heavy metal in feces threatens the ecological environment, and balance is the key to solving the problem. In this study, a trial of 2000 pigs (early nursery, 9-15 kg; late nursery, 15-25 kg; grower: 25-60 kg) was conducted to analyze the effects of different diets (gradient dosage of copper and zinc additives) on growth performance, antioxidant performance, immune function, and fecal heavy metal excretion of piglets and growing pigs. Although no significant differences were observed in average daily gain (ADG) and average daily feed intake (ADFI) between treatments during the entire nursery-grower period, the addition of appropriate high doses of copper and zinc to the diet had a beneficial effect on the antioxidant status and immune function of weaned piglets. Especially at early nursery, compared with the low-copper group (5 mg/kg Cu), the high-copper group (120 mg/kg Cu) could significantly increase the peroxidase (POD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), catalase (CAT) and copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD), cortisol in the serum. Moreover, the addition of zinc and copper in the diet not only increased the concentration of corresponding trace elements in the serum, but also affected the concentration of other trace elements in the serum. The reduction of copper and zinc content in the diet contributed to reducing the copper and zinc content in feces. In conclusion, we have formulated the mutual benefit dosages of copper and zinc (9-15 kg: 5 mg/kg Cu and 50 mg/kg Zn; 15-25 kg: 4 mg/kg Cu and 50 mg/kg Zn; 25-60 kg: 4 mg/kg Cu and 10 mg/kg Zn) for weaning piglets and growing pigs, which would help ensure the healthy growth of animals and reduce environmental heavy metal residues. CAPSULE: This study developed a mutually beneficial dose of copper and zinc in pig diets, which promotes animal growth and protects the environment.

Abstract
Thermal treatment and composting are effective methods of degrading antibiotics and organic matter in penicillin fermentation residues (PFR), respectively. However, the composting efficiency and environmental safety of thermally treated PFR (HT-PFR) remain unclear. In this study, HT-PFR was composted with cattle manure and maize straw at ratios of 0:1:1 (CK), 1.5:1:1 (T1), and 5:1:1 (T2). Changes in physicochemical properties, seed germination index (GI), and microbial antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) were determined. Addition of HT-PFR significantly reduced the C:N ratio of each compost (P < 0.05) and prolonged the thermophilic stage. The GI of CK and T1 composts increased during processing, whereas that of T2 compost remained low. The PO43- concentrations of T1 and T2 composts were 6.3- and 11.1-fold higher than that of CK, respectively. HT-PFR contained relatively small amounts of mineral elements, and composting it with cattle manure and maize straw provided balanced nutrients for plant growth. After 52 days of composting, most ARGs of the microflora were reduced to low levels, but blaTEM increased significantly in T2 compost. Overall, composting HT-PFR at up to 42% of a mix containing equal parts of cattle manure and wheat straw is an environmentally safe and effective way of transforming it into organic fertilizer.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of adding different food waste proportions (volatile solids ratio of 3:7, 5:5, 7:3) to tylosin fermentation dreg on anaerobic digestion were investigated. The results showed that the co-digestion group (294-399 mL·g-VS-1) increased methane production by 14.8%-55.5% compared with tylosin fermentation dreg alone-digestion (256 mL·g-VS-1). The correlation analysis showed that pH, total volatile fatty acids and acetic acid were the most important factors affecting cumulative methane production. Tylosin in the solid and liquid phases decreased significantly after anaerobic digestion, indicating that tylosin could be effectively removed by co-digestion, and the total removal rate was 68.2%-83.7%. Therefore, due to the satisfactory methane yield and the tolerable tylosin removal rate, it is feasible to make the co-digestion of tylosin fermentation dreg and food waste.

Abstract
Though heavy metals are widely reported to induce antibiotic resistance propagation, how antibiotic resistance changes in response to heavy metal abundances remains unclearly. In this study, the tylosin fermentation dregs (TFDs) and swine manure co-composting process amended with two exposure levels of heavy metal Zn were performed. Results showed that the bioavailable Zn contents decreased 2.6-fold averagely, and the removal percentage of total tylosin resistance genes was around 23.5% after the co-composting completed. Furthermore, the tylosin resistance genes and some generic bacteria may exhibited a hormetic-like dose-response with the high-dosage inhibition and low dosage stimulation induced by bioavailable Zn contents during the co-composting process, which represented a beneficial aspect of adaptive responses to harmful environmental stimuli. This study provided a comprehensive understanding and predicted risk assessment for the Zn-contaminate solid wastes deposal and suggested that low levels of Zn or other heavy metals should receive more attention for their potential to the induction of resistance bacteria and propagation of antibiotic resistance genes.

Abstract
Agar oligosaccharide (AOS) is a marine prebiotic with apparent improving health and longevity effects. In this study, the protective effect of AOS on the intestine was evaluated in the sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-induced inflammatory model of male Drosophila. The results showed that AOS used as a nutritional additive in basal food could lengthen the life of SDS-stimulated male Drosophila. Additionally, AOS could alleviate the injuries of SDS to microvilli and mitochondria in male Drosophila midgut epithelial cells. AOS could regulate the relative gene expressions in the antibacterial peptides (AMPs), mTOR pathway and autophagy process, and significantly improved the α-diversity of midgut microbiota and decreased the abundance of Klebsiella aerogenes, a kind of bacteria easily causing infections. Collectively, AOS could ameliorate the intestinal inflammation by modulating the microbiota, and the gene expression of immune and cell autophagy.

Abstract
Hydrothermal pretreatment can efficiently remove the residual antibiotics in oxytetracycline fermentation residue (OFR), but its effect on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during composting remains unclear. This study compared the shifts in bacterial community and evolutions in ARGs and integrons during different composting processes of OFRs with and without hydrothermal pretreatment. The results demonstrated that hydrothermal pretreatment increased the bacterial alpha diversity at the initial phase, and increased the relative abundances of Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria but decreased that of Bacteroidetes at the final phase by inactivating mycelia and removing residual oxytetracycline. Composting process inevitably elevated the abundance and relative abundance of ARGs. However, the increase in ARGs was significantly reduced by hydrothermal pretreatment, because the removal of oxytetracycline decreased their potential host bacteria and inhibited their horizontal gene transfer. The results demonstrated that hydrothermal pretreatment is an efficient strategy to reduce the enrichment of ARGs during the OFR composting.

Abstract
This study explored the fate of Zn- resistance genes (ZRGs), antibiotic- resistance genes (ARGs) and related mechanisms associated with bacterial communities during co-composting of erythromycin manufacturing wastes (EMW) and pig manure (PM) at the ratio of 0% (control), 5% (L) and 20% (H) (PM basis). The relative abundance (RAs) of erm genes in most treatments were decreased by 77.75-99.97% after composting. But total RA of czc genes were increased by 8.34, 15.86 and 12.03 times in control, L and H treatment respectively. The higher EMW in H showed a negative impact on removing of erm genes and aggravated the enrichment of ZRGs compared with control and L. Redundancy analysis showed that Firmicutes accounted for the highest explanation of ARGs and ZRGs variations, and Zn in EMW had significant impact on the succession of bacterial community.

Abstract
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is an effective technology to dispose antibiotic mycelial residues, but biogas production is influenced by hydrolysis rates and antibiotic residue. Herein, the effects of thermal hydrolysis pretreatment for AD of spectinomycin mycelial residues (SMRs) were investigated. The results showed that the removal ratio of spectinomycin was increased while the temperature of pretreatment was escalating. Meanwhile, thermal hydrolysis facilitated the dissolution of organic matters. However, non-biodegradable substances measured by fluorescence excitation-emission matrix accumulated and thus had an adverse influence on biogas production. Based on batch assays, the optimal pretreatment temperature for SMRs was 120 °C. The removal of spectinomycin was benefit for biogas production (increasing by 7.6%), and the overall biogas production increased by 27.6% compared with 289.90 mL gVS-1 of untreated SMRs. The microbial community analysis revealed that spectinomycin (265 mg L-1) might influence bacteria in the early stage of AD (first 5 days), while redundancy analysis showed that spectinomycin had a non-significant influence on community succession over the 32 days of fermentation.

Abstract
In this work, fate of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), heavy metal resistance genes (MRGs) and intI1 were investigated during mesophilic (mAD) and thermophilic anaerobic digestion (tAD) of swine manure with presence of Cu and Zn. Results showed that metal reduced the lag phase time. Cu showed stronger inhibition than Zn on archaea community and metals inhibited the growth of acetoclastic methanogens during mAD. Although total concentration of metals increased after AD, they were transformed into stable state. The abundance of qnrS, sul1, sul2 and drfA7 increased 1.2-5.7 times after mAD, while reduced after tAD, showed that tAD was effective in ARGs removal. Structural equation model analysis suggested that intI1 had the most standardized direct effects on ARGs variation in mAD (R = 0.85, p < 0.01), while the co-occurrence of MRGs with ARGs showed significantly positive influences on ARGs variation in tAD (R = 0.82, p < 0.01).

Abstract
Tylosin fermentation dregs (TFDs) are biosolid waste of antibiotics tylosin production process which contain nutritious components and may be recycled as soil amendments. However, the specific ecological safety of TFDs from the perspective of bacterial resistance in soil microenvironment is not fully explored. In the present study, a series of replicated lab-scale work were performed using the simulated fertilization to gain insight into the potential environmental effects and risks of macrolide antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and the soil microbial communities composition via quantitative PCR and 16S rRNA sequencing following the TFDs land application as the soil amendments. The results showed that bio-processes might play an important role in the decomposition of tylosin which degraded above 90% after 20 days in soil. The application of TFDs might induce the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, change soil environment and reduce the microbial diversity. Though the abundances of macrolide ARGs exhibited a decreasing trend following the tylosin degradation, other components in TFDs may have a lasting impact on both macrolide ARGs abundance and soil bacterial communities. Thus, this study pointed out the fate of TFDs on soil ecological environment when directly applying into soil, and provide valuable scientific basis for TFDs management.

Abstract
The accumulation of heavy metals and the accelerated dissemination of antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) in soil receiving long-term manure application are causing worldwide concern. In this study, struvite-supported biochar composite (MAP/BC) obtained by N and P recovery from pig slurry with Mg(OH)2-modified biochar (Mg(OH)2/BC) was used as a novel amendment for the remediation of Cu- and ARG-contaminated agricultural soil. The effects of MAP/BC on Cu immobilization, ARG distribution, and the bacterial community in the soil were investigated simultaneously. The results showed that the mechanisms involved in the immobilization of Cu by MAP/BC included the formation of copper-phosphate precipitation and a surface complex. With a 10% MAP/BC modification, the acid-soluble Cu content in soil decreased by 0.47-fold at day 56 while the residual Cu content increased 1.41-fold. Meanwhile, the abundances of most of the target ARGs (tetX, tetT, tetW, tetG, ermB, sulI, sulII, and intlI) were reduced by 11.35-99.95%, and the abundance of total ARGs was reduced by 30.69%. The redundancy analysis indicated that the bio-available Cu content played a crucial role in the variations of both ARGs and bacterial communities. The network analysis further suggested that potential hosts of soil ARGs were mainly Firmicutes and Actinobacteria. The above results suggested that the application of MAP/BC can mitigate Cu and ARG pollution in manured soil.

Abstract
This study investigated methane production and ARGs reduction during thermophilic AD of swine manure with the addition of different Cu salts (cupric sulfate, cupric glycinate, and the 1:1 mixture of these two salts). Results showed methane production was increased by 28.78% through adding mixed Cu salts. The mixed Cu group effectively reduced total ARGs abundance by 26.94%, suggesting mixed Cu salts did not promote the potential ARGs risk. The positive effects of mixed Cu salts on AD performance and ARGs removal might be ascribed to the low bioavailability. Microbial community analysis indicated the highest abundances of Clostridia_MBA03 and Methanobacterium in the mixed Cu group might cause the increased methane production. Spearman's rank correlation analysis elucidated the succession in microbial community induced by environmental factors was the main driver for shaping ARGs profiles. Thus, mixed Cu salts could be an alternative to replace the inorganic Cu salt in animal feed additives.

Efficient reduction of antibiotic residues and associated resistance genes in tylosin antibiotic fermentation waste using hyperthermophilic composting. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2019; 133:105203.

Abstract
Insufficient removal of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) from waste products can increase the risk of selection for antibiotic resistance in non-clinical environments. While composting is an efficient way to reduce ARGs, most conventional methods are ineffective at processing highly contaminated antibiotic fermentation waste. Here we explored the efficacy and underlying mechanisms of hyperthermophilic composting at removing tylosin antibiotic fermentation residues (TFR) and associated ARGs and mobile genetic elements (MGEs; plasmids, integrons and transposon). Hyperthermophilic composting removed 95.0% of TFR, 75.8% of ARGs and 98.5% of MGEs and this reduction mainly occurred after extended exposure to temperatures above 60 °C for at least 6 days. Based on sequencing and culture-dependent experiments, reduction in ARGs and MGEs was strongly associated with a decrease in the number of bacterial taxa that were initially associated with ARGs and MGEs. Moreover, we found 94.1% reduction in plasmid genes abundances (ISCR1 and IncQ-oriV) that significantly correlated with reduced ARGs during the composting, which suggests that plasmids were the main carriers for ARGs. We verified this using direct culturing to show that ARGs were more often found in plasmids during the early phase of composting. Together these results suggest that hyperthermophilic composting is efficient at removing ARGs and associated resistance genes from antibiotic fermentation waste by decreasing the abundance of antibiotic resistance plasmids and associated host bacteria.

Abstract
Metal mobilization and immobilization catalyzed by microbial action are key processes in environmental biotechnology. Metal mobilization from ores, mining wastes, or solid residues can be used for recovering metals and/or remediating polluted environments; furthermore, immobilization reduces the migration of metals; cleans up effluents plus ground- and surface water; and, moreover, can help to concentrate and recover metals. Usually these processes provide certain advantages over traditional technologies such as more efficient economical and environmentally sustainable results. Since elevated temperatures typically increase chemical kinetics, it could be expected that bioprocesses should also be enhanced by replacing mesophiles with thermophiles or hyperthermophiles. Nevertheless, other issues like process stability, flexibility, and thermophile-versus-mesophile resistance to acidity and/or metal toxicity should be carefully considered. This review critically analyzes and compares thermophilic and mesophilic microbial performances in recent and selected representative examples of metal bioremediation and biorecovery.

Abstract
Reducing the emissions of NH3 and greenhouse gases (GHGs) during composting is essential for improving compost quality and controlling environmental pollution. This paper investigates the effects of pelelith (P) combined with dicyandiamide (DCD) on gaseous emissions and the fungal community diversity during sewage sludge (SS) composting. Results showed that the P and P + DCD treatments decreased the cumulative gaseous emissions by 41% and 22% for NH3, 21% and 34% for N2O, and 31.5% and 33.0% for CH4, respectively. The evolution of the fungal community analysis showed that Ascomycota and unclassified fungi dominated during the thermophilic stage, while only Ascomycota was the dominant fungal phylum during the maturity stage, composing 62%, 66%, and 73% of the total fungal community in the control, P, and P + DCD, respectively. The P and P + DCD significantly increased the fungal community richness at the genus level. Fungal community abundance was found to be significantly related to temperature, pH, organic matter, and total Kjeldahl nitrogen, which also influence the gaseous emissions during SS composting. It suggested that the combined addition of pelelith and dicyandiamide (DCD) was an effective method for reducing the emissions of NH3 and greenhouse gases during SS composting.

Abstract
In this study, the co-composting performance of Zn-rich antibiotic manufacturing wastes (AMW) and pig manure (PM) was evaluated. Four treatments, representing 2.5%, 5%, 10% and 20% of AMW (of PM dry weight) and control without AMW, were established during composting. Results suggested that the temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, NH4+-N and germination index in end product met the maturity and sanitation requirement. More than 99% of residual antibiotic was removed. Compared with PM composting alone, the cumulative CH4 and N2O emissions in AMW composting increased by 13.46-79.00% and 10.78-65.12%, respectively. While the higher mixing ratios of AMW (10% and 20%) presented a negative impact on composing by inhibiting organic matter (OM) degradation and higher NH3 emissions. The AMW had highly bioavailable Zn, but the exchangeable faction of Zn significantly decreased with the composting progress.
