    Abstract:
    The present study compared the effects of adding shrimp shell powder (SSP) at four levels comprising 0% (CK), 5% (L), 10% (M), and 15% (H) on the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and the bacterial community succession during swine manure composting. The relative abundances of 5/11 ARGs were reduced in CK, and 7/11 in H. Moreover, the removal rate was enhanced by adding SSP. Thus, H decreased the total abundance of ARGs by 32.68%, whereas CK increased it by 6.31%. Redundancy analysis indicated that mobile genetic elements (MGEs) (46.6%) and the bacterial community (31.1%) mainly explained the changes in ARGs. H enhanced the removal of MGEs, prolonged the thermophilic phase, stabilized copper and zinc, and retained nitrogen. LEfSe analysis and non-metric multidimensional scaling indicated that the bacterial community changed in the composting process, and it was optimized by H. The abundances of the potential bacterial co-hosts (such as Lactobacillus, Corynebacterium_1, and Ornithinicoccus) of ARGs and MGEs were lower and the decomposition of organic matter was higher in H compared with CK. Thus, composting with 15% SSP can reduce the risk of ARGs and improve the practical value for agronomic application.
