Biochar as functional amendment for antibiotic resistant microbial community survival during hen manure composting

초록

The study aim was to reveal the mechanism of impact of two type biochar on composting of hen manure (HM) and wheat straw (WS). Biochar derived from coconut shell and bamboo used as additives to reduce antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) in HM compost. The results manifested that effect of biochar amendment was significant to reduce ARB in HM composting. Compared with control, the microbial activity and abundance were increased in both biochar applied treatment, and bacterial community was changed. Additionally, network analysis revealed that biochar amendment increased the quantity of microorganisms related to organic matter degrading. Among them, coconut shell biochar (CSB) played a pioneering role to mitigate ARB to better exert its effects. Structural correlation analysis showed that CSB reduce ARB mobility and promote organic matter degradation via improving beneficial bacterial community structure. Overall, composting with participation of biochar amendment stimulated antibiotic resistance bacterial dynamics. These results evidence practical value for scientific research and lay the foundation for agricultural promotion of composting.
