Abstract excerpt
Microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) are widely considered as promising alternatives for degrading antibiotics. As one of the major operating parameters in MECs, voltage might affect the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) given it can affect the physiological characteristics of bacteria. However, little is known about the impacts of voltage on the acceleration of bacterial mutation and the promotion of...
