Redox oscillation frequency reshapes antibiotic resistance-gene expression through metabolic and ecological selection in a freshwater community
Aquatic environments can maintain and express antibiotic resistance genes even without antibiotic pressure, but the conditions that govern their activity remain poorly understood. Redox oscillations are pervasive in natural and engineered waters and strongly alter microbial metabolism, yet whether their frequency shape...
