ABSTRACT
This study is the first to explore the performance and mechanism of biochar-impacted sediment microbial fuel cell for removing antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and examines the effects of different biochar contents. The addition of 5% biochar produced the highest output voltage and power density, which increased by 100% and 219%, respectively, while simultaneously reducing the abundance and risk of ARGs. Comparatively, the addition of moderate amount of biochar (1-5%) promoted the removal of ARGs, while the opposite was true for excessive (10%) biochar. Biochar affected ARGs through prophages, insertion sequence, and transposons. Biological factors and voltage jointly influenced ARGs variation, with the former accounting for 56%. Further analysis of functional genes indicated that biochar controlled ARGs by regulating the synthesis of genetic material and amino acids to influence metabolism. Overall, findings of this study shed light on the potential removal of ARGs in microbial electrochemical systems.
