Antibiotic resistance poses a significant threat to global health, and the microbe-rich
activated sludge environment may contribute to the dissemination of antibiotic resistance …

As one of the most abundant members of microbial communities, viruses are considered to
influence prokaryotic mortality and biogeochemical cycles. While extensive research has …

Abstract Benzo (a) pyrene (BaP), the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), is known for
its high carcinogenic, low bioavailability, and resistance to removal. To enhance the removal …

We investigated biostimulation as an effective strategy for enhancing the degradation
efficiency of recalcitrant organic compounds, with MSC14 (a novel polycyclic aromatic …

Metatranscriptomics uncovers the dynamic expression of functional genes in soil
environments, providing insights into the intricate metabolic activities within microbial …

Earthworms are critical in regulating soil processes and act as filters for antibiotic resistance
genes (ARGs). Yet, the geographic patterns and main drivers of earthworm gut ARGs remain …

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is commonly used in food waste treatment. Prokaryotic microbial
communities in AD of food waste have been comprehensively studied. The role of viruses …
