Figure 3. Dynamics of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) reveal distinct risk profiles for different plastic types.

Caption

(a) Alpha diversity (Shannon index) of ARG subtypes across sample groups. Boxplots display the median and interquartile range. (b) Relative abundance of major ARG types across all samples over the 88-d incubation. Abundances are normalized as copies per 16S rRNA gene. (c) Heatmap of the relative abundance of the top 30 most abundant ARG subtypes. The color intensity corresponds to the z-score normalized abundance of each subtype across all samples.
