Swine manure has been considered as the reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs).
Composting is one of the most suitable technologies for treating livestock manures, and red …

In bacteria a metal may be defined as bioavailable if it crosses the cytoplasmic membrane to
reach the cytoplasm. Once inside the cell, specific metal resistance systems may be …

Mangroves are often exposed to heavy metals that accumulate in the food chain, generate
toxicity to mangrove plants and affect microbial diversity. This study determined the …
