a The diagram illustrates our experimental design. Briefly, pig manure was eluted with PBS solutions and filtered through a 0.22 μm pore-size membrane. The elution was then added to the soil microcosm at three different concentrations. ‘FP’ represents a five-fold concentration of VLPs from pig manure added to the soil microcosm, ‘TP’ represents a ten-fold concentration, and ‘CK’ represents the blank control. The pie chart showed b the proportions of viral contigs (n = 10,863) in all assembled contigs from pig manure viromes, c the proportions of viruses in all ARG-carrying contigs from pig viromes, d the compositions of classifications of ARGs at class-level carried by pig manure-derived viral contigs, e the viral taxonomic compositions at family-level.
