Peanut (Arachis hypogaea. L) is an important oil seed crop.
Both arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) symbiosis and calcium
(Ca2+) application can ameliorate the impact of saline
soil on peanut production, and the rhizosphere bacterial communities
are also closely correlated with peanut salt tolerance;
however, whether AMF and Ca2+ can withstand high-salinity
through or partially through modulating rhizosphere bacterial
communities is unclear. Here, we used the rhizosphere
bacterial DNA from saline alkali soil treated with AMF and
Ca2+ alone or together to perform high-throughput sequencing
of 16S rRNA genes. Taxonomic analysis revealed that
AMF and Ca2+ treatment increased the abundance of Proteobacteria
and Firmicutes at the phylum level. The nitrogenfixing
bacterium Sphingomonas was the dominant genus in
these soils at the genus level, and the soil invertase and urease
activities were also increased after AMF and Ca2+ treatment,
implying that AMF and Ca2+ effectively improved the living
environment of plants under salt stress. Moreover, AMF combined
with Ca2+ was better than AMF or Ca2+ alone at altering
the bacterial structure and improving peanut growth in saline
alkali soil. Together, AMF and Ca2+ applications are conducive
to peanut salt adaption by regulating the bacterial community
in saline alkali soil.

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are emerging contaminants
that pose a potential threat to human health worldwide.
Urban wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are a main
source of both antibiotic-resistant bacteria and ARGs released
into the environment. Nevertheless, the propagation of ARGs
and their underlying mechanisms and the dynamics of mobile
genetic elements (MGEs) in WWTPs have rarely been
investigated in South Korea. In this study, shotgun metagenomic
analysis was used to identify comprehensive ARGs and
their mechanisms, bacterial communities, and MGEs from
4 configurations with 2 activated sludge (AS) and 2 anaerobic
digestion sludge (ADS) samples. A total of 181 ARG subtypes
belonging to 22 ARG types were broadly detected, and the
ARG abundances in the AS samples were 1.3–2.0 orders of
magnitude higher than in the ADS samples. Multidrug and
bacitracin resistance genes were the predominant ARG types
in AS samples, followed by ARGs against sulfonamide, tetracycline,
and β-lactam. However, the composition of ARG
types in ADS samples was significantly changed. The abundance
of multidrug and β-lactam resistance genes was drastically
reduced in the ADS samples. The resistance genes of
MLS were the predominant, followed by ARGs against sulfonamide
and tetracycline in the ADS samples. In addition,
plasmids were the dominant MGEs in the AS samples, while
integrons (intI1) were the dominant MGEs in the ADS samples.
These results provide valuable information regarding
the prevalence of ARG types and MGEs and the difference
patterns between the AS and ADS systems.

The increased antibiotic resistance among microorganisms
has resulted into growing interest for investigating the wastewater
treatment plants (WWTPs) as they are reported to be
the major source in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance
genes (ARGs) and heavy metal resistance genes (HMRGs)
in the environment. In this study, we investigated the prevalence
and persistence of ARGs and HMRGs as well as bacterial
diversity and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in influent
and effluent at the WWTP in Gwangju, South Korea,
using high-throughput sequencing based metagenomic approach.
A good number of broad-spectrum of resistance
genes (both ARG and HMRG) were prevalent and likely
persistent, although large portion of them were successfully
removed at the wastewater treatment process. The relative
abundance of ARGs and MGEs was higher in effluent as compared
to that of influent. Our results suggest that the resistance
genes with high abundance and bacteria harbouring
ARGs and MGEs are likely to persist more through the treatment
process. On analyzing the microbial community, the
phylum Proteobacteria, especially potentially pathogenic species
belonging to the genus Acinetobacter, dominated in
WWTP. Overall, our study demonstrates that many ARGs
and HMRGs may persist the treatment processes in WWTPs
and their association to MGEs may contribute to the dissemination
of resistance genes among microorganisms in the
environment.
