Linking bacterial life strategies with the distribution pattern of antibiotic resistance genes in soil aggregates after straw addition. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 471:134355. [PMID: 38643583 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134355] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2024] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024]
Abstract
Straw addition markedly affects the soil aggregates and microbial community structure. However, its influence on the profile of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), which are likely associated with changes in bacterial life strategies, remains unclear. To clarify this issue, a soil microcosm experiment was incubated under aerobic (WS) or anaerobic (AnWS) conditions after straw addition, and metagenomic sequencing was used to characterise ARGs and bacterial communities in soil aggregates. The results showed that straw addition shifted the bacterial life strategies from K- to r-strategists in all aggregates, and the aerobic and anaerobic conditions stimulated the growth of aerobic and anaerobic r-strategist bacteria, respectively. The WS decreased the relative abundances of dominant ARGs such as QnrS5, whereas the AnWS increased their abundance. After straw addition, the macroaggregates consistently exhibited a higher number of significantly altered bacteria and ARGs than the silt+clay fractions. Network analysis revealed that the WS increased the number of aerobic r-strategist bacterial nodes and fostered more interactions between r-and K-strategist bacteria, thus promoting ARGs prevalence, whereas AnWS exhibited an opposite trend. These findings provide a new perspective for understanding the fate of ARGs and their controlling factors in soil ecosystems after straw addition. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: Straw soil amendment has been recommended to mitigate soil fertility degradation, improve soil structure, and ultimately increase crop yields. However, our findings highlight the importance of the elevated prevalence of ARGs associated with r-strategist bacteria in macroaggregates following the addition of organic matter, particularly fresh substrates. In addition, when assessing the environmental risk posed by ARGs in soil that receives crop straw, it is essential to account for the soil moisture content. This is because the species of r-strategist bacteria that thrive under aerobic and anaerobic conditions play a dominant role in the dissemination and accumulation of ARG.

Response characteristics and functional predictions of soil microorganisms to heavy metals, antibiotics, and their resistance genes originating from different animal farms amended with Herbaspirillum huttiense. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 246:118143. [PMID: 38199465 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 01/03/2024] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
Current understanding is limited regarding technologies that use biochar and microorganisms to simultaneously treat soils contaminated with both veterinary antibiotics (VAs) and heavy metals (HMs) from different animal farms. The contributions of the keystone taxa and their similarities from different animal farms under VA and HM stresses before and after soil remediation should be further investigated as well. An innovative treatment of Herbaspirillum huttiense (HHS1) inoculated waste fungus chaff-based (WFCB) biochar was designed for immobilization of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn), and the removal of oxytetracycline (OTC), enrofloxacin (ENR), and a subsequent reduction in their resistance genes in soils from pig, cow, and chicken farms. Roles of indigenous microorganisms which can treat soils contaminated with VAs and HMs were summarized. Results showed that available Cu and Zn were reduced by 19.5% and 28.1%, respectively, while 49.8% of OTC and 85.1% of ENR were removed by WFCB-HHS1. The decrease in ENR improved overall microbial community diversity, and the increases in genera HHS1, Pedobacter, Flavobacterium and Aequorivita, along with the decreases of genera Bacillus, Methylobacter, and Fermentimonas were indirectly favorable to treat HMs and VAs in soils from different animal farms. Bacterial communities in different animal farm soils were predominantly influenced by stochastic processes. The regulations of functional genes associated with metabolism and environmental information processing, which contribute to HM and VA defense, were altered when using WFCB-HHS1. Furthermore, the spread of their antibiotic resistance genes was restricted.

Abstract
The consequences of antibiotic tolerance directly affect human health and result in socioeconomic loss. Nanomaterials as antimicrobial agents are considered a promising alternative to antibiotics and have been blended with various medical applications. However, with increasing evidence that metal-based nanomaterials may induce antibiotic tolerance, there is an urgent need to scrutinize how nanomaterial-induced microbial adaption affects the evolution and spread of antibiotic tolerance. Accordingly, within this investigation, we summarized the principal factors influencing the resistance development exposed to metal-based nanomaterials, including physicochemical properties, exposure scenario, as well as bacterial response. Furthermore, the mechanisms of metal-based nanomaterial-induced antibiotic resistance development were comprehensively elucidated from acquired resistance by horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), intrinsic resistance by genetic mutation or upregulated resistance-related gene expression, and adaptive resistance by global evolution. Overall, our review raises concerns about the safety of nanomaterials as antimicrobial agents, which will facilitate assistance in the safe development of antibiotic-free antibacterial strategies.

Abstract
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are important sinks of microplastics (MPs) and antibiotics resistance genes (ARGs). Information regarding connections between functional modules of WWTPs and spread of ARGs under MPs stress is still lacking. In this study, correlations between P-, N-, and C-related functional genes and ARGs in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) system were evaluated under polystyrene (PS) MPs stress. Total P and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in effluent showed no significant changes under 0.5-50 mg L-1 PS MPs stress within 32 cycle treatment periods of SBR, while 0.5 mg L-1 PS MPs affected the N cycling process. PS MPs (0.5-50 mg L-1) promoted the richness and diversity of microbial community in SBR, and the denitrification process was exuberant. PS MPs with a low dosage (0.5-5 mg L-1) enhanced secretion of extracellular polymeric substances and promoted expression levels of functional genes related to C fixation, C degradation, P cycling, and N cycling. Simultaneously, aac(3)-II, blaTEM-1, and tetW increased by 27.13%, 38.36%, and 9.57% under low dosages of PS MPs stress; more importantly, the total absolute abundance of intI1 nearly doubled. 78.4% of these P-, N-, and C-related functional genes were positively correlated with intI1, thus favoring transmission of ARGs. This study firstly disclosed the underlying correlations between functional modules of WWTPs and spread of ARGs under MPs stress.

Abstract
High ammonia concentration hinders the efficient treatment of antibiotic production wastewater (APW). Developing effective ammonia oxidation wastewater treatment strategies is an ideal approach for facilitating APW treatment. Compared with traditional nitrification strategies, the partial nitrification process is more eco-friendly, less energy-intensive, and less excess sludge. The primary limiting factor of the partial nitrification process is increasing ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) while decreasing nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB). In this study, an efficient AOB microbiota (named AF2) was obtained via enrichment of an aerobic activated sludge (AS0) collected from a pharmaceutical wastewater treatment plant. After a 52-day enrichment of AS0 in 250 mL flasks, the microbiota AE1 with 69.18% Nitrosomonas microorganisms was obtained. Subsequent scaled-up cultivation in a 10 L fermenter led to the AF2 microbiota with 59.22% Nitrosomonas. Low concentration of free ammonia (FA, < 42.01 mg L-1) had a negligible effect on the activity of AF2, and the nitrite-nitrogen accumulation rate (NAR) of AF2 was 98% when FA concentration was 42.01 mg L-1. The specific ammonia oxidation rates (SAORs) at 30 °C and 15 °C were 3.64 kg NH4+-N·kg MLVSS-1·d-1 and 1.43 kg NH4+-N·kg MLVSS-1·d-1 (MLVSS: mixed liquor volatile suspended solids). The SAOR was 0.52 kg NH4+-N·kg MLVSS-1·d-1 when the NaCl concentration was increased from 0 to 20 g L-1, showing that AF2 functioning was stable in a high-level salt environment. The ammonia oxidation performance of AF2 was verified by treating abamectin and lincomycin production wastewater. The NARs of AF2 used for abamectin and lincomycin production wastewater treatment were >90% and the SAORs were 2.39 kg NH4+-N·kg MLVSS-1·d-1 and 0.54 kg NH4+-N·kg MLVSS-1·d-1, respectively, which was higher than the traditional biological denitrification process. In summary, AF2 was effective for APW treatment via enhanced ammonia removal efficiency, demonstrating great potential for future industrial wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The ever-increasing consumption of antibiotics in both humans and animals has increased their load in municipal and pharmaceutical industry waste and may cause serious damage to the environment. Impact of antibiotics on the performance of commercially used anaerobic digesters in terms of bioenergy output, antibiotics' removal and COD removal have been compared critically with a few studies indicating >90% removal of antibiotics. AnMBR performed the best in terms of antibiotic removal, COD removal and methane yield. Most of the antibiotics investigated have adverse effects on microbiome associated with different stages and methane generation pathways of AD which has been assessed using high throughput technologies like metatranscriptomics, metaproteomics and flow cytometry. Perspectives have been given for understanding the fate and elimination of antibiotics from AD. The challenge of optimization and process improvement needs to be addressed to increase efficiency of the anaerobic digesters.

Abstract
Efficiencies of removing antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and intI1 were explored using eight full-scale anaerobic digesters. The digesters demonstrated different characteristics on the basis of substrate types (food waste, manure or sludge); configuration (single or two-stage); temperature (psychrophilic, mesophilic or thermophilic); hydraulic retention time (HRT) (9.7-44 days); and operation mode (continuous stirred tank reactor or plug flow reactor). Digesters' configuration or operating parameters showed a greater effect on abundance of ARGs than the type of input substrate. Redundancy analysis (RDA) accounted for 85.2% of the total variances and digesters with the same configuration and operational conditions showed similar performance for removal of ARGs. The highest efficiencies of removing ARGs (99.99%) were observed in two-stage thermophilic digesters with relatively long HRTs (32 days). The lowest removal efficiency (97.93%) was observed in single-stage mesophilic with relatively short HRTs (9.7 days), likely due to vertical and horizontal gene transfer.

Abstract
In this study, two typical minerals (diatomite and bentonite) were applied during composting, and their influences on antibiotics, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), intI1 and the bacterial communities were investigated. The relative abundance of total ARGs decreased by 53.72% and 59.54% in diatomite and bentonite addition compared with control on day 42. The minerals addition also reduced the relative abundance of intI1, as much as 41.41% and 59.81% in diatomite and bentonite treatments. Proteobacteria and Firmicutes were the dominant candidate hosts of the major ARGs. There was a significant correlation between total ARGs and intI1 during the composting. Structural equation models further demonstrated that intI1 and antibiotics were the predominant direct factors responsible for ARG variations, and composting properties and bacterial community composition also shifted the variation of ARG profiles by influencing intI1. Overall, these findings suggest that diatomite and bentonite could decrease the potential proliferation of ARGs in chicken manure.
