Soil, a potential reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), is inhabited by numerous microorganisms. Many microorganisms in soil are embedded within self-produced matrix extracellular polymeric substances to form supracellular structures, i.e., biofilms. Representing the predominant microbial lifestyle soil, biofilms considered hot spots horizontal gene transfer. Herein, we discuss distribution, transfer, and fate ARGs environment at macro- micro-scales. Applications microfluidic platforms, with an advantage mimicking complex environments permitting study behaviors micro-scale, coupled high-throughput sequencing other innovative transfer also discussed. This review aims highlight neglected role spread expand current limited knowledge about microenvironment.
