Comparison of bacterial communities and antibiotic resistance genes in oxidation ditches and membrane bioreactors

Abstract Oxidation ditches (ODs) and membrane bioreactors (MBRs) are widely used in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) with bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) running through the whole system. In this study, metagenomic sequencing was used to compare the bacterial communities and ARGs...
