Impacts of cellulase and xylanase addition on antibiotic resistance and microbial community during dairy manure composting

Background

Composting is a transformation and biodegradation process that converts organic biomass into valuable products while also removing antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs). Promoting lignocellulose biodegradation is essential for enhancing composting efficiency and improving the quality of compost derived from agricultural organic waste. This study aims to explore the effects of cellulase and xylanase on the composting process of cow manure, with a focus on their impact on key physicochemical properties, microbial communities, and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs).
