Poddar K, Sarkar D, Sarkar A. Norfloxacin adsorption by torrefied coco peat biochar as a novel adsorbent in a circular economy framework. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 251:118711. [PMID: 38499225 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118711] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2024] [Revised: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024]
Abstract
The current study reported torrefied coco-peat biochar treated at 200 °C, as a novel adsorbent exhibiting phenomenal norfloxacin (NFX) adsorption efficiency. The CHNS analysis confirmed the carbon abundance in the biochar (36.45%), however, XRF analysis indicated a significant presence of K2O (27.73%) and chlorine (7.49%). The XRD and Raman spectral analysis confirmed the amorphous structure of the biochar. Multilayer topology was evident in the SEM micrograph of biochar contributing to its large effective surface area. Additionally, the mesoporous structure of the adsorbent was verified by BET. The adsorption mechanism was predicted to be non-ionic since the zeta potential of both adsorbent and adsorbate was found negative. The process parameters were optimized at 30 °C, pH 6.9, dosage 7 g/L, antibiotic load 494.25 mg/L, and time of 89 min for a maximum of 99.52% adsorption of NFX using Central Composite Design, Analysis of Variance, and Response Surface Methodology. The adsorption process was exothermic, and spontaneous obeying the pseudo-second-order kinetics, while the bulk process was confined to surface adsorption. Isotherm study of NFX adsorption revealed the process to be a favorable, monolayer, and homogeneous adsorption. The NFX molecules were desorbed with an efficiency of 89.19% using 80% ethanol and upon recrystallization, 87.76% of the initial NFX was recovered as crude crystal. Moreover, the NFX removal efficiency was consistent across various water systems, tap water (99.02%), seawater (99.56%), river water (98.92%), pond water (98.26%), and distilled water (99.17%). The techno-economic analysis identified bulk expense as the biochar preparation ($0.82/kg) and the process will be profitable having recovered NFX sold at $6/kg instead of the present retail price ($71/kg). Thus, the study successfully demonstrated a zero-waste, self-sustainable, and revenue-generating water treatment process implementing the circular economy framework.

Valorizing fungal diversity for the degradation of fluoroquinolones. Heliyon 2024; 10:e30611.

Abstract
Continued widespread use of antibiotics, especially fluoroquinolones, raises environmental concerns, as its driving bacterial resistance and disrupts microbial ecosystems. Here we investigate the biodegradation of ten fluoroquinolone antibiotics (six for medical use and four for veterinary use) by ligninolytic fungi, including Trametes versicolor, Bjerkandera adusta, Porosterum spadiceum, Irpex lacteus, Pleuroteus ostreatus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Pycnoporus cinnabarinus, Ganoderma lucidum, and Gloeophyllum trabeum. The results show significant variations between strains in the efficiency of antibiotic transformation. B. adusta and P. spadiceum were the fungi that most efficiently reduced antibiotic concentrations and were able to totally degrade eight and six antibiotics, respectively, within a 15-day period. T. versicolor and P. ostreatus also showed the ability to effectively degrade antibiotics. Specifically, T. versicolor degraded six out of the ten fluoroquinolone antibiotics by more than 70 %, while P. ostreatus degraded the tested antibiotics between 43 % and 100 %. The remaining antibiotic activity did not always correlate with a reduction in antibiotic concentrations, which points to the presence of post-transformation antimicrobial metabolites. This study also explores the potential mechanisms used by these fungi to remove selected models of fluroquinolones via enzymatic routes, such as oxidation by laccases, heme-peroxidases, and cytochrome P450, or via adsorption on fungal biomass.

Mechanisms of total phosphorus removal and reduction of β-lactam antibiotic resistance genes by exogenous fungal combination activated sludge. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 393:130046.

Abstract
This study utilized Trichoderma and activated sludge to construct combined activated sludge (TAS). The metagenomic approach was employed to examine the shifts in microbial community structure and function of TAS under amoxicillin stress and investigate the mechanism underlying the reduction of β-lactam antibiotic resistance genes (β-ARGs). The findings demonstrated that the elevated aundance of glpa, glpd, ugpq, glpq, and glpb were primarily responsible for the reduction in total phosphorus (TP) removal by TAS. The increased abundance of Proteobacteria and Verrucomicrobia led to enhanced expression of ugpb, phnd, and phne, thereby improving the TP removal of TAS. Furthermore, antibiotic inactivation has gradually become the primary antibiotic resistance mechanism in TAS. Specifically, an increase in the abundance of OXA-309 in TAS will decrease the probability of amoxicillin accumulation in TAS. A decrease in β-ARGs diversity confirmed this. This study presents a novel approach to reducing antibiotic and ARG accumulation in sludge.

Abstract
Despite various plans to rationalize antibiotic use, antibiotic resistance in environmental bacteria is increasing due to the accumulation of antibiotic residues in the environment. This study aimed to test the ability of basidiomycete fungal strains to biotransform the antibiotic levofloxacin, a widely-used third-generation broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone, and to propose enzyme targets potentially involved in this biotransformation. The biotransformation process was performed using fungal strains. Levofloxacin biotransformation reached 100% after 9 days of culture with Porostereum spadiceum BS34. Using genomics and proteomics analyses coupled with activity tests, we showed that P. spadiceum produces several heme-peroxidases together with H2O2-producing enzymes that could be involved in the antibiotic biotransformation process. Using UV and high-resolution mass spectrometry, we were able to detect five levofloxacin degradation products. Their putative identity based on their MS2 fragmentation patterns led to the conclusion that the piperazine moiety was the main target of oxidative modification of levofloxacin by P. spadiceum, leading to a decrease in antibiotic activity.

Abstract
Antibiotic contamination from hospitals, animal husbandry, and municipal wastewater is graver than imagined, and it possess serious risks to the health of humans and animals, with the emergence of multidrug resistant bacteria; those affect the growth of higher plants too. Conventional wastewater treatment methods adopted today are inadequate for removing antibiotics from wastewater. Intuitively, the remediation process using mixed algae should be effective enough, for which algae-based remediation technologies have emerged as sustainable remedial methods. This review summarized the detection of antibiotics in field water in most countries; a comprehensive overview of algae-based technologies, algal adsorption, accumulation, biodegradation, photodegradation, hydrolysis, and the use of algae-bacteria consortia for the remediation of antibiotics in wastewaters in done. Green algae namely, Chlamydomonas sp., Chlorella sp., C. vulgaris, Spyrogira sp. Scenedesmus quadricauda, S. obliquus, S. dimorphus, Haematoccus pluvialis, and Nannochlopsis sp., had been reporting have 90-100% antibiotic removal efficiency. The integration of bioelectrochemical systems and genetically engineered prokaryotic algal species offer promising avenues for improving antibiotic removal in the future. Overall, this review highlights the need for tenacious research and development of algae-based technologies to reduce antibiotic contamination in aquatic environments, for holistic good.

Investigating the Transformation Products of Selected Antibiotics and 17 α-Ethinylestradiol under Three In Vitro Biotransformation Models for Anticipating Their Relevance in Bioaugmented Constructed Wetlands. TOXICS 2023; 11:508.

Abstract
The degradation of three antibiotics (sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim, and ofloxacin) and one synthetic hormone (17 α-ethinylestradiol) was investigated in three in-vitro biotransformation models (i.e., pure enzymes, hairy root, and Trichoderma asperellum cultures) for anticipating the relevance of the formation of transformation products (TPs) in constructed wetlands (CWs) bioaugmented with T. asperellum fungus. The identification of TPs was carried out employing high-resolution mass spectrometry, using databases, or by interpreting MS/MS spectra. An enzymatic reaction with β-glucosidase was also used to confirm the presence of glycosyl-conjugates. The results showed synergies in the transformation mechanisms between these three models. Phase II conjugation reactions and overall glycosylation reactions predominated in hairy root cultures, while phase I metabolization reactions (e.g., hydroxylation and N-dealkylation) predominated in T. asperellum cultures. Following their accumulation/degradation kinetic profiles helped in determining the most relevant TPs. Identified TPs contributed to the overall residual antimicrobial activity because phase I metabolites can be more reactive and glucose-conjugated TPs can be transformed back into parent compounds. Similar to other biological treatments, the formation of TPs in CWs is of concern and deserves to be investigated with simple in vitro models to avoid the complexity of field-scale studies. This paper brings new findings on the emerging pollutants metabolic pathways established between T. asperellum and model plants, including extracellular enzymes.

Abstract
Quinolone (QN) antibiotics are a kind of broad-spectrum antibiotics commonly used in the treatment of human and animal diseases. They have the characteristics of strong antibacterial activity, stable metabolism, low production cost, and no cross-resistance with other antibacterial drugs. They are widely used in the world. QN antibiotics cannot be completely digested and absorbed in organisms and are often excreted in urine and feces in the form of original drugs or metabolites, which are widely occurring in surface water, groundwater, aquaculture wastewater, sewage treatment plants, sediments, and soil environment, thus causing environmental pollution. In this paper, the pollution status, biological toxicity, and removal methods of QN antibiotics at home and abroad were reviewed. Literature data showed that QNs and its metabolites had serious ecotoxicity. Meanwhile, the spread of drug resistance induced by continuous emission of QNs should not be ignored. In addition, adsorption, chemical oxidation, photocatalysis, and microbial removal of QNs are often affected by a variety of experimental conditions, and the removal is not complete, so it is necessary to combine a variety of processes to efficiently remove QNs in the future.

Abstract
This study screened a Trichoderma strain (Trichoderma pubescens DAOM 166162) from activated sludge to solve the limitation of traditional biological processes in the treatment of amoxicillin (AMO) containing wastewater. The mechanism of the removal of AMO wastewater by T. pubescens DAOM 166162 (TPC) was studied. AMO resulted in a higher protein percentage in the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) secreted by TPC, which facilitated the removal of AMO from the wastewater. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and excitation-emission matrix were used to characterize EPS produced by metabolizing different carbon sources. It was found that the hydroxyl group was the primary functional group in EPS. The life activity of TPC was the cause of the pH rise. The main pathway of degradation of AMO by TPC was the hydroxyl group uncoupling the lactam ring and the hydrolysis of AMO in an alkaline environment. The removal efficiency of AMO in wastewater by TPC was >98 % (24 h), of which the biodegradation efficiency was 70.01 ± 1.48 %, and the biosorption efficiency was 28.44 ± 2.97 %. In general, TPC is an effective strain for treating wastewater containing AMO. This research provides a new idea for AMO wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The irrigation with treated wastewater is among the main anthropogenic sources for the release of pharmaceuticals (PhACs) into the soils and their translocation into crops, with possible toxic and adverse effects on humans. The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can be employed for the reduction of organic soil pollutants, even if their efficiency depends on the mycorrhizal fungi, the plant colonized, and the type and concentration of the contaminant. This study aimed to evaluate the uptake of PhACs from wastewaters of different qualities used for the irrigation of mycorrhizal artichoke plants, the presence in their edible parts and the role of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. The research was carried out on artichoke plants not inoculated and inoculated with two different AMF and irrigated with treated wastewater (TW), groundwater (GW) or GW spiked with different and selected PhACs (SGW). The inocula were a crude inoculum of Septoglomus viscosum (MSE) and a commercial inoculum of Glomus intraradices and Glomus mosseae (MSY). The results of the present study showed that carbamazepine and fluconazole were found in the artichoke only with SGW irrigation. The mycorrhizal plants showed a reduction of the pharmaceutical's uptake, and within the AMF, MSE was more effective in preventing their absorption and translocation.

Abstract
The recalcitrant chloramphenicol (CAP) combined with heavy metals cadmium (Cd) commonly co-existed in the environment, posing threat to environment health. The capacity of Trametes versicolor to remove/biodegrade CAP in air-pulse fluidized-bed reactor was evaluated, even under Cd stress. T. versicolor could remove 44 % CAP of 5 mg/L in 15 days, even 51 % CAP under 1 mg/L Cd stress. Sustained Cd stress inhibited CAP biodegradation and Cd removal in a 5-batches of a 5-days cycle sequential batch reactor. Nine transformation products and two novel pathways were proposed, with initial multi-step transformation reaction into CP2 and allylic alcohol, respectively. Furthermore, the main mechanism of Cd removal by T. versicolor was extracellular surface bioadsorption and intracellular accumulation. This study filled the gap of the mechanism of simultaneous CAP removal/biodegradation and Cd removal by white-rot fungi T. versicolor, which offer a theoretical basis for future application of biological removal of CAP containing wastewater.

Abstract
Antibiotics play an essential role in the medical healthcare world, but their widespread usage and high prevalence have posed negative environmental consequences. During the past few decades, various antibiotic drugs have been detected in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Among them, the Fluoroquinolones (FQ) group is ubiquitous in the environment and has emerged as a major environmental pollutant. FQs are very significant, broad-spectrum antibiotics used in treating various pathogenic diseases of humans and animals. The most known and used FQs are ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin, levofloxacin, enrofloxacin, danofloxacin, and moxifloxacin. After human and animal administration, about 70% of these drugs are excreted out in unaltered form into the environment. Besides, wastewater discharge from pharmaceutical industries, hospitals, and agriculture runoff is the major contributor to the accumulation of FQs into the ecosystem. Their long-term presence in the environment creates selection pressure on microorganisms and contributes to the emergence of multi-drug-resistant bacteria. In addition to the resistance, these antibiotics also impose ecotoxicological effects on various animals and plant species. The presence of the fluorine atom in Fluoroquinolones makes them highly electronegative, strong, recalcitrant, and less compatible with microbial degradation. Many biological and chemical processes have been invented and successfully implemented during the past few decades for the elimination of these pollutants from the environment. This review provides a detailed overview of the classification, occurrence, distribution, and ecotoxicological effects of Fluoroquinolones. Their modes of action, resistance mechanism, detection and analysis methods, and remediation strategies have also been discussed in detail.

Abstract
The wastewater from hospitals, pharmaceutical industries and more generally human and animal dejections leads to environmental releases of antibiotics that cause severe problems for all living organisms. The aim of this study was to investigate the capacity of three fungal strains to biotransform the fluoroquinolone levofloxacin. The degradation processes were analyzed in solid and liquid media. Among the three fungal strains tested, Coriolopsis gallica strain CLBE55 (BRFM 3473) showed the highest removal efficiency, with a 15% decrease in antibiogram zone of inhibition for Escherichia coli cultured in solid medium and 25% degradation of the antibiotic in liquid medium based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Proteomic analysis suggested that laccases and dye-decolorizing peroxidases such as extracellular enzymes could be involved in levofloxacin degradation, with a putative major role for laccases. Degradation products were proposed based on mass spectrometry analysis, and annotation suggested that the main product of biotransformation of levofloxacin by Coriolopsis gallica is an N-oxidized derivative.

Reclaimed wastewater reuse in irrigation: Role of biofilms in the fate of antibiotics and spread of antimicrobial resistance. WATER RESEARCH 2022; 221:118830. [PMID: 35841791 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2022.118830] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2022] [Revised: 07/01/2022] [Accepted: 07/04/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Reclaimed wastewater associated biofilms are made up from diverse class of microbial communities that are continuously exposed to antibiotic residues. The presence of antibiotic resistance bacteria (ARB) and their associated antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) ensures also a continuous selection pressure on biofilms that could be seen as hotspots for antibiotic resistance dissemination but can also play a role in antibiotic degradation. In this study, the antibiotic degradation and the abundance of four ARGs (qnrS, sul1, blaTEM, ermB), and two mobile genetic elements (MGEs) including IS613 and intl1, were followed in reclaimed wastewater and biofilm samples collected at the beginning and after 2 weeks of six antibiotics exposure (10 µg L-1). Antibiotics were partially degraded and remained above lowest minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for environmental samples described in the literature. The most abundant genes detected both in biofilms and reclaimed wastewater were sul1, ermB, and intl1. The relative abundance of these genes in biofilms increased during the 2 weeks of exposure but the highest values were found in control samples (without antibiotics pressure), suggesting that bacterial community composition and diversity are the driven forces for resistance selection and propagation in biofilms, rather than exposure to antibiotics. Planktonic and biofilm bacterial communities were characterized. Planktonic cells are classically defined "as free flowing bacteria in suspension" as opposed to the sessile state (the so-called biofilm): "a structured community of bacterial cells enclosed in a self-produced polymeric matrix and adherent to an inert or living. surface" as stated by Costerton et al. (1999). The abundance of some genera known to harbor ARG such as Streptococcus, Exiguobacterium, Acholeplasma, Methylophylaceae and Porphyromonadaceae increased in reclaimed wastewater containing antibiotics. The presence of biofilm lowered the level of these genera in wastewater but, at the opposite, could also serve as a reservoir of these bacteria to re-colonize low-diversity wastewater. It seems that maintaining a high diversity is important to limit the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance among planktonic bacteria. Antibiotics had no influence on the biofilm development monitored with optical coherence tomography (OCT). Further research is needed in order to clarify the role of inter-species communication in biofilm on antibiotic degradation and resistance development and spreading.

Abstract
Levofloxacin (LFX) is a widely used antibiotic medication. Persistent traces of LFX in water and wastewater may induce bacterial resistance. Photon-driven advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) can assist in attaining complete abatement of LFX for environmental protection. This work benchmarks different solar AOPs based on hydroxyl radical (OH•) and sulphate radical (SO4•-) chemistry. Other oxidant precursors, as radical sources, were used to selectively control the generation of either hydroxyl radical (i.e., H2O2), sulphate radical (i.e., peroxydisulphate (PDS)), or a controlled mixture ratio of both OH•/SO4•- (i.e., peroxymonosulphate (PMS)). The influence of pH on degradation performance was evaluated using unbuffered and buffered solutions. Simulated irradiation/PMS process exhibited a strong pH-dependence attaining partial degradation of ca. 56% at pH 5 up to complete degradation at pH 7. Despite the similitudes on the abatement of target pollutant LFX in pristine solutions, only simulated irradiation/PDS treatment achieved effective abatement of LFX in wastewater samples given the higher selectivity of SO4•-. Toxicity tests were conducted with Escherichia coli (LMG2092) and Micrococcus flavus (DSM1790), demonstrating successful inhibition of the antibiotic character of polluted waters, which would contribute to preventing the development of resistant bacterial strains. Finally, a degradative pathway was suggested from the by-products and intermediates identified by LC-MS. Results demonstrate that the degradation of specific functional groups (i.e., piperazine ring) is associated with the loss of antibacterial character of the molecule.

Using biobeds for the treatment of fungicide-contaminated effluents from various agro-food processing industries: Microbiome responses and mobile genetic element dynamics. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 823:153744. [PMID: 35149062 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.153744] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2021] [Revised: 02/03/2022] [Accepted: 02/04/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Agro-food processing industries generate large amounts of pesticide-contaminated effluents that pose a significant environmental threat if managed improperly. Biopurification systems like biobeds could be utilized for the depuration of these effluents although direct evidence for their efficiency are still lacking. We employed a column leaching experiment with pilot biobeds to (i) assess the depuration potential of biobeds against fungicide-contaminated effluents from seed-producing (carboxin, metalaxyl-M, fluxapyroxad), bulb-handling (thiabendazole, fludioxonil and chlorothalonil) and fruit-packaging (fludioxonil, imazalil) industries, (ii) to monitor microbial succession via amplicon sequencing and (iii) to determine the presence and dynamics of mobile genetic elements like intl1, IS1071, IncP-1 and IncP-1ε often associated with the transposition of pesticide-degrading genes. Biobeds could effectively retain (adsorbed but extractable with organic solvents) and dissipate (degraded and/or not extractable with organic solvents) the fungicides that were contained in the agro-industrial effluents with 93.1-99.98% removal efficiency in all cases. Lipophilic substances like fluxapyroxad were mostly retained in the biobed while more polar substances like metalaxyl-M and carboxin were mostly dissipated or showed higher leaching potential like metalaxyl-M. Biobeds supported a bacterial and fungal community that was not affected by fungicide application but showed clear temporal patterns in the different biobed horizons. This was most probably driven by the establishment of microaerophilic conditions upon water saturation of biobeds, as supported by the significant increase in the abundance of facultative or strict anaerobes like Chloroflexi/Anaerolinae, Acidibacter and Myxococcota. Wastewater application did not affect the dynamics of mobile genetic elements in biobeds whose abundance (intl1, IS1071, IncP-1ε) showed significant increases with time. Our findings suggest that biobeds could effectively decontaminate fungicide-contaminated effluents produced by agro-food industries and support a rather resilient microbial community.

[PMID: 34525765 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.149917] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2021] [Revised: 08/18/2021] [Accepted: 08/22/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The increasing consumption of azole antifungal agents leads to their uncontrolled release into the environment. Therefore, it is crucial to remove their residues from natural ecosystems. This study aimed to examine the biological and chemical degradation of four typical azole fungicides: fluconazole (Fc), clotrimazole (Cl), climbazole (Cb), and epoxiconazole (Ep). The biodegradation was investigated using activated sludge and two novel Gram-negative bacterial strains. The chemical degradation experiments aimed to assess the efficiency of fungicides removal through UV treatment, the Fenton reaction, and a combination of these methods. Transformation products of Cb, Ep, and Cl photocatalytic removal were identified by mass spectrometry. In addition, the AlamarBlue® Assay and the MTT Assay allowed careful evaluation of the toxicity of azole derivatives and their transformation products towards newly isolated strains, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia AsPCl2.3 and Pseudomonas monteilii LB2. Among all azole fungicides, Cb was the most susceptible to biological removal while Fc, Ep, and Cl were basically resistant to biodegradation. Cl and Ep showed a significant biosorption on the activated sludge. Under optimized photolysis conditions, the removal efficiency of Cl, Cb, and Ep was significantly higher than that of biodegradation. The Fenton reaction supported by the UV-irradiation offered the best results of fungicides elimination. After 1 min of the experiment, Cl was almost completely removed while Cb and Ep removal rates reached an average of 60%. The proposed main degradation route of azole fungicides during UV-irradiation includes halogen atoms substitution by hydroxyl moieties. The final degradation product was imidazole or triazole. Azole fungicides and their transformation products differently affected the metabolic activity of Gram-negative bacteria. Cl and Cb intermediates showed lower toxicity than parent compounds. The findings help better understand the environmental impact of azole fungicides, their degradation, and toxicity. They also stress the need for reducing their uncontrolled release to the environment.

Abstract
Many untreated and partly treated wastewater from the home and commercial resources is being discharged into the aquatic environment these days, which contains numerous unknown and complex natural and inorganic compounds. These compounds tend to persist, initiating severe environmental problems, which affect human health. Conventionally, physicochemical treatment methods were adopted to remove such complex organic chemicals, but they suffer from critical limitations. Over time, photocatalysis, an advanced oxidation process, has gained its position for its efficient and fair performance against emerging organic pollutant decontamination. Typically, photocatalysis is a green technology to decompose organics under UV/visible light at ambient conditions. Semiconducting nanometal oxides have emerged as pioneering photocatalysts because of large active surface sites, flexible oxidation states, various morphologies, and easy preparation. The current review presents an overview of emerging organic pollutants and their effects, advanced oxidation processes, photocatalytic mechanism, types of photocatalysts, photocatalyst support materials, and methods for improving photodegradation efficiency on the degradation of complex emerging organic pollutants. In addition, the recent reports of metal-oxide-driven photocatalytic remediation of emerging organic pollutants are presented in brief. This review is anticipated to reach a broader scientific community to understand the first principles of photocatalysis and review the recent advancements in this field.

Abstract
The present study attempted to improve the biodegradation removal rate of Fluoroquinolones (FQs) in sewage treatment plants. The similarity index analysis (CoMSIA) model for combined biodegradability was constructed, and 33 kinds of molecular derivatives of FQs suitable for a variety of aerobic biodegradation microorganisms were designed. Further, derivative-20 and derivative-28, with high drug efficiency, drug safety, and environmental friendliness were selected through pharmacokinetics (ADMET), toxicokinetics (TOPKAT), FQs functional characteristics, and environmental friendliness evaluations. Compared with the target molecules, the combined biodegradability of the above two FQ-derivative molecules were increased by 193.57 % and 205.07 %, respectively, while their environment-friendly characteristics were improved to a certain degree. Through molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulation analysis, it showed that van der Waals force (decreased by 2.73 %-61.74 %) was the main factor influencing the binding ability of the modified FQ molecules to the receptor proteins. In addition, the relationship among the non-bonding interaction resultant force, the binding effect of the FQ-derivative molecules, and the receptor protein-related amino acid residues were studied for the first time. It was observed that the higher the value of the non-bonding interaction resultant force, the better was the binding effect, which demonstrating the significantly improved biodegradability of the designed FQ-derivative molecules.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolones (FQs), such as ciprofloxacin (CIP) and norfloxacin (NOR), are types of emerging trace pollutants that have attracted great attention. In this study, an activated sludge (AS) consortium with high bio-removal capability to CIP and NOR was obtained by acclimating with CIP and NOR for 10 d. Meanwhile, a CIP- and NOR- transforming bacterial strain (S5), which is highly homologous to the 16S rRNA gene sequence of Enterobacter sp., was isolated from the acclimated AS. The bio-removal efficiency of CIP under the acclimated AS consortium was better than that under the pure culture of Enterobacter sp. S5 (93.1% vs. 89.3%), while the bio-removal efficiency of NOR under the acclimated AS consortium was lower than that under the pure culture of Enterobacter sp. S5 (83.9% vs. 89.8%). The biotransformation and bio-adsorption were two main ways to bio-remove CIP and NOR. However, the CIP and NOR biotransformation efficiencies of the acclimated AS were higher than under the pure culture of Enterobacter sp. S5, while the CIP and NOR adsorption of acclimated AS were lower than that under the pure culture of Enterobacter sp. S5. The N-acetylciprofloxacin and N-acetylnorfloxacin were the main biotransformation products of CIP and NOR. It is possible that acetyltransferase may be involved in the biotransformation process. Whether under the pure culture or AS consortium, the cytotoxicity of CIP and NOR transformation products to gram-negative bacteria was alleviated. Therefore, the acclimated AS and Enterobacter sp. S5 might provide a new strategy for removing contaminants and alleviating of FQs resistance.

Abstract
Antibiotic contamination raises concerns over antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), which can severely impact the human health and environment. Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is a widely used antibiotic that is incompletely metabolized in the body. In this study, the research objectives were (1) to isolate the native strain of Trichoderma sp. from the environment and analyze the tolerance toward SMX concentration by evaluating fungal growth, and (2) to investigate the potential of SMX removal by fungi. The potential fungi isolated from rotten tree bark showed 97% similarity to Trichoderma harzianum (Accession no. MH707098.1). The whole cell of fungi was examined in vitro; the strain Trichoderma harzianum BGP115 eliminated 71% of SMX after 7 days, while the white rot fungi Trametes versicolor, demonstrated 90% removal after 10 days. Furthermore, the tolerance of fungal growth toward SMX concentration at 10 mg L-1 was analyzed, which indicated that Trichoderma harzianum BGP115 (the screened strain) exhibited more tolerance toward SMX than Trametes versicolor (the reference strain). The screened fungi isolated from rotted tree bark demonstrated the ability of SMX bioremoval and the potential to be tolerant to high concentrations of SMX.

Abstract
Continuous discharge and persistence of antibiotics in aquatic ecosystem is identified as emerging environment health hazard. Partial degradation and inappropriate disposal induce appearance of diverse antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) and bacteria, hence their execution is imperative. Conventional methods including waste water treatment plants (WWTPs) are found ineffective for the removal of recalcitrant antibiotics. Therefore, constructive removal of antibiotics from environmental matrices and other alternatives have been discussed. This review summarizes present scenario and removal of micro-pollutants, antibiotics from environment. Various strategies including physicochemical, bioremediation, use of bioreactor, and biocatalysts are recognized as potent antibiotic removal strategies. Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) and biochar have emerged as promising biodegradation processes due to low cost, energy efficient and environmental benignity. With higher removal rate (20-50%) combined/ hybrid processes seems to be more efficient for permanent and sustainable elimination of reluctant antibiotics.

Abstract
Microalgae-based technology is an environmental-friendly and cost-effective method for biofuel production and pollutants removal. In this study, Scenedesmus obliquus (S. obliquus) was cultured with varying concentrations of ofloxacin (OFL) in BG11 medium. In the algae-antibiotics culture system, S. obliquus could effectively remove OFL with a concentration of 10 mg/L; however, the removal efficiency was restricted under higher doses (20-320 mg/L). Meanwhile, the lipid content significantly increased by 21.10-49.63%, which was caused by carbon being converted from carbohydrate to lipid. The greatest lipid productivity (7.53 mg/L/d) occurred at an OFL concentration of 10 mg/L, which was approximately 1.5-fold greater than the control. Moreover, S. obliquus cultured with OFL was able to improve the biodiesel quality due to an increase of saturated fatty acids and a decrease of unsaturated fatty acids. This study demonstrates that an algae-antibiotics system is a promising solution to simultaneously achieve antibiotics removal and biofuel production.

Abstract
Pesticide-resistant plant pathogens are an increasing threat to the global food supply and have generated a need for novel, efficacious agrochemicals. The current regulatory process for approving new agrochemicals is a tedious but necessary process. One way to accelerate the safety evaluation process is to utilize in vitro systems to demonstrate pesticide degradation by soil microbes prior to ex vivo soil evaluations. This approach may have the capability to generate metabolic profiles free of inhibitory substances, such as humic acids, commonly present in ex vivo soil systems. In this study, we used a packed-bed microbial bioreactor to assess the role of the natural soil microbial community during biodegradation of the triazolopyrimidine fungicide, ametoctradin. Metabolite profiles produced during in vitro ametoctradin degradation were similar to the metabolite profiles obtained during environmental fate studies and demonstrated the degradation of 81% of the parent compound in 72 h compared to a half-life of 2 weeks when ametoctradin was left in the soil. The microbial communities of four different soil locations and the bioreactor microbiome were compared using high throughput sequencing. It was found that biodegradation of ametoctradin in both ex vivo soils and in vitro in the bioreactor correlated with an increase in the relative abundance of Burkholderiales, well characterized microbial degraders of xenobiotic compounds.
