The earthworm gut acts as a hotspot for reprocessing ingested organic matter, thereby altering carbon availability. These changes reshape microbial communities and competitive interactions, potentially affecting the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the gut. Beyond substrate amount, substrate div...

It is shown that both biodegradable and nondegradable MPs significantly increased ARG abundance and transcriptional activity, differing in the drive mechanisms, underscoring the importance of considering phage-mediated processes in assessing the risks of MPs and ARG dissemination.

Elevated MP diversity remarkably increased the diversity of soil phages and strengthened phage-host interactions, which might reflect phage-host coadaptation, and advance the understanding of bacterial mechanisms underlying carbon dynamics following exposure to diverse MPs.
