Aquatic ecosystems in anthropogenically impacted areas are important reservoirs of
antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) of allochthonous origin. However, the dynamics of the …

The contribution of oxic methane production to greenhouse gas emissions from lakes is
globally relevant, yet uncertainties remain about the levels up to which methanogenesis can …

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are abundant in aquatic ecosystems affected by human
