Various conditioning treatments induced distinct sludge bacterial community composition during sludge conventional composting
In the present study, the impacts of bioleaching conditioning and chemical conditioning with Fe[III]/CaO or polyacrylamide (PAM) on the abundances of 20 ARGs and 4 mobile genetic elements (MGEs) during the conventional composting of dewatered sludge was investigated. Moreover, the various conditioning treatments induced distinct sludge bacterial community composition during sludge conventional composting, while bioleaching conditioning resulted in the lowest amount and relative abundances of ARG-associated bacteria in the sludge compost products.
