摘要： The application of biosolids can improve soil fertility and crop productivity but also accompanies risks of heavy metals and antibiotics introduction. In the presence of heavy metals contamination, using arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is a promising strategy to enhance soil microbial community stability and plant tolerance resistance to heavy metals, and to reduce the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). The present study investigated the impacts of AMF inoculation on soil and plant heavy metal contents, and soil microbial communities by pot experiments. The results showed that AMF inoculation significantly enhanced plant biomass, and reduced soil and plant heavy metals contents. While AMF inoculation did not alter bacterial and fungal community compositions, it increased bacterial diversity at higher biosolids concentrations. Notably, AMF inoculation enhanced microbial network complexity and increased keystone taxa abundance. Furthermore, several beneficial microorganisms with high resistance to heavy metals were enriched in AMF-inoculated soils. Metagenomic analysis revealed a reduction in the mobile genetic element (MGE) gene IS91 in AMF-inoculated soils and an increase in heavy metal resistance genes compared to soils without AMF. The possibility of reduction in MGE-mediated spread of ARGs is one of the key findings of this study. As a caution, this study also detected enrichment of few ARGs in high biosolids-amended soils with AMF inoculation. Overall, AMF inoculation could be a valuable strategy in agriculture for mitigating the environmental risks associated with biosolids, heavy metals and antibiotic resistance, thereby promoting sustainable soil management and health.
