- Abstract
- Thermophilic aerobic digestion (TAD) was applied to further reduce ARGs and heavy metal resistance genes (HMRGs) as well as class 1 integrons (intIl) in sludge from anaerobic digestion (AnD). Unlike after AnD, there was no enrichment of ARGs, HMRGs and intll after TAD. Residual gene fractions of intll and total ARGs (sum of targeted ARGs) were 0.03 and 0.08, respectively. Two kinetic models (Collins-Selleck and first-order) described the decay patterns of targeted genes, revealing rapid removal of intIl during TAD. After TAD, the relative abundance of human bacterial pathogens (HBPs) and the numbers of HBPs species decreased to approximately 68% and 64% compared to anaerobically digested sludge, respectively. Thus, TAD, subsequent to AnD, may possess high potential for reducing biological risks resulting from ARGs, HMRGs, intll and HBPs in sewage sludge.
