Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term field application of sewage sludge increases the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes in soil.
TL;DR: The patterns of bacterial community and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in a long-term field experiment were investigated and it was suggested that bacterial community shifts, rather than MGEs, is the major driver shaping the antibiotic resistome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exposure of soil collembolans to microplastics perturbs their gut microbiota and alters their isotopic composition
Dong Zhu,Qing-Lin Chen,Xin-Li An,Xiao-Ru Yang,Peter Christie,Xin Ke,Longhua Wu,Yong-Guan Zhu +7 more
TL;DR: Exposure to microplastics may impact non-target species via changes in their microbiota leading to alteration of isotopic and elemental incorporation, growth and reproduction, and the collembolan gut microbial data acquired fill a gap in knowledge of the ecotoxicity of microplastic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metagenomics of urban sewage identifies an extensively shared antibiotic resistome in China
Jian-Qiang Su,Xin Li An,Bing Li,Qing-Lin Chen,Michael R. Gillings,Hong Chen,Tong Zhang,Yong-Guan Zhu +7 more
TL;DR: This study provides a baseline for investigating environmental dissemination of resistance elements and raises the possibility of using the abundance of resistance genes in sewage as a tool for antibiotic stewardship.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transfer of antibiotic resistance from manure-amended soils to vegetable microbiomes
TL;DR: The impacts of poultry and cattle manure application on the patterns of resistome in soil and lettuce microbiome including rhizosphere, root endosphere, leaf endosphere and phyllosphere are explored, to identify the potential transmission routes of ARGs in the soil-plant system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rare microbial taxa as the major drivers of ecosystem multifunctionality in long-term fertilized soils
Qing-Lin Chen,Qing-Lin Chen,Jing Ding,Dong Zhu,Hang-Wei Hu,Manuel Delgado-Baquerizo,Yibing Ma,Ji-Zheng He,Yong-Guan Zhu +8 more
TL;DR: Compared with inorganic fertilization, the application of organic fertilizer improved the soil multifunctionality, which positively correlated with the both bacterial and fungal diversity and indicated that rare microbial taxa had an over-proportional role in biological processes.
