TL;DR: Rice straw biochar and mushroom biochar were added to lab-scale chicken manure composting to evaluate their effects on the behaviors of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and on total and bio-available heavy metals (Cu, Zn and As).

TL;DR: TetQ had the highest relative abundance and the relative abundance of tetG had the least variation within the system, which indicates that tetG is persistent in the agricultural environment and requires more attention.

TL;DR: ARGs patterns were correlated with Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria during the two-phase anaerobic digestion, and the acidogenic phase of thermophilic digestion was primarily responsible for reducing the quantity of these genes, while the subsequent methanogenic phase caused a rebound in their quantity.

TL;DR: Analytical results demonstrated that MB addition reduced total arsenic and the percentage of bioavailable arsenic more than RSB, and both biochar additions had a negative influence on the average removal value of ARGs in duck manure compost.

TL;DR: The distinct dynamics of ARGs and MRGs during the two-phase anaerobic digestion are noteworthy, and more specific treatments are required to limit their proliferation in the environment.
