Food waste contains abundant resistomes, including antibiotic and heavy metal resistance genes (ARGs and MRGs), which pose risks to the environment and human health. Composting can be used for food waste treatment, but it fails to effectively eliminate these resistomes. Thus, this study investigated the performance of lime to regulate the dynamics and mobility of ARGs and MRGs in food waste composting by metagenomics. Genome-resolved analysis was further conducted to identify the ARGs and MRGs hosts and their horizontal gene transfer (HGT) events. Results showed that lime addition at 1 % (wet weight) could significantly promote temperature and pH increase to sterilize hosts, particularly pathogen bacteria (e.g. Acinetobacter johnsonii and Enterobacter cloacae), thus reducing the abundance of resistomes by more than 57.1 %. This sterilization notably reduced the number of mobile ARGs and MRGs driven by mobile genetic elements (MGEs). The contribution of MGEs located on chromosomal sequences to horizontally transfer ARGs and MRGs was significantly higher than that on mobilizable plasmids. Further analysis indicated that the reduced resistomes by lime was mainly attributed to effective sterilization of hosts rather than decreased HGT diversity. Thus, this study provides valuable insights into use lime as a low-cost control of resistomes in waste recycling.
