WP1 Establishment of manure treatments & address the impacts of the manure treatments on the physio-chemical properties of the manure
Aims: The systems for the treatment of manure will be first established in order to ensure the ability to treat the manure samples prior to field trials.

WP2 Culture & Resistome characterisation
Aims: Identifying the natural AMR bacteria and mechanisms of mobile resistance in the reservoirs of soil, plant and manure. Measurement of the changes in the manure resistome after treatment. Compare the resistomes on the plants and in soil after amendment with different treated manure, untreated manure and no manure.
The leaders:
Xaver Sidler, Ph. D., Professor

David Drissner, Ph. D., Professor
WP3 Analysis of plasmid mediated AMR and changes due to manure amendments
Aims: Elucidate the extent to which the resistome is mediated by mobile resistance mechanisms on plasmids and how these change after amendment with the different forms of treated manure. Diversity of plasmids mediating AMR A) in soil (natural plant field), manure amended soil (natural plant field) B) on plants (in the field), manure amended plants over the growth period C) in manure (treated and untreated prior to application).

WP4 Analysis of microbiome changes due to manure amendments
Aims: Understand the baseline and changes in the microbial populations in the soil and on plants due to the different manure treatments over the growth period. Microbial community structure analysis of A) soil (natural plant field), manure-amended soil (natural plant field) B) on plants (in the field), manure amended plants over the growth period C) in manure (treated and untreated prior to application)
