Abstract
Land utilization of the biogas residue (BR) produced by anaerobic co-digestion of gentamicin mycelial residues (GMRs) and wheat straw is a promising method to achieve the deep recycling of GMRs. This study evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of application of using BR as a soil amendment by using a pot experiment. Results indicated that BR could improve the soil fertility better than commercial chicken manure fertilizer (CMF) in terms of the soil enzyme activities and nutrients supply. Random Forest (RF) model was applied to predict soil enzyme activities and identify key influencing factors. Combining the Random Forest (RF) model with the Three-dimensional Excitation–emission Matrix and Parallel Factor (3D-EEM-PARAFAC) analysis, revealing that humic-like substances provided by BR protected soil enzymes, thus improving soil fertility. Furthermore, gentamicin and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs)/mobile genetic elements (MEGs) introduced by BR decreased greatly after cultivation, implying a low risk of antimicrobial resistance. This study suggested that reasonable application of BR could improve soil nutrients supply, soil enzyme activity and control antimicrobial resistance risk.
