THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 946:174414. [PMID: 38960187 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.174414] [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: 04/21/2024] [Revised: 06/28/2024] [Accepted: 06/29/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024]
Abstract
Microbial degradation is an important solution for antibiotic pollution in livestock and poultry farming wastes. This study reports the isolation and identification of the novel bacterial strain Serratia entomophila TC-1, which can degrade 87.8 % of 200 mg/L tetracycline (TC) at 35 °C, pH 6.0, and an inoculation amount of 1 % (v/v). Based on the intermediate products, a possible biological transformation pathway was proposed, including dehydration, oxidation ring opening, decarbonylation, and deamination. Using Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis as biological indicators, TC degraded metabolites have shown low toxicity. Whole-genome sequencing showed that the TC-1 strain contained tet (d) and tet (34), which resist TC through multiple mechanisms. In addition, upon TC exposure, TC-1 participated in catalytic and energy supply activities by regulating gene expression, thereby playing a role in TC detoxification. We found that TC-1 showed less interference with changes in the bacterial community in swine wastewater. Thus, TC-1 provided new insights into the mechanisms responsible for TC biodegradation and can be used for TC pollution treatment.

Hydroxyl radical mediated extracellular degradation of tetracycline under aerobic and anaerobic conditions stimulated by bio-FeS nanoparticles. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 478:135450. [PMID: 39121737 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.135450] [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: 03/24/2024] [Revised: 07/22/2024] [Accepted: 08/06/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
The extracellular degradation of antibiotics facilitated by bio-nanoparticles is significant in the field of waste valorization. Among different bio-nanoparticles, bio-FeS nanoparticles stand out for their convenient and cost-effective synthesis. Nevertheless, there is a lack of understanding regarding the extracellular degradation of pollutants driven by bio-FeS nanoparticles. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the role of bio-FeS nanoparticles in the extracellular degradation of tetracycline under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The findings demonstrated that bio-FeS nanoparticles generated hydroxyl radical (·OH), which significantly contributes to the degradation of tetracycline in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. The production of ·OH in anaerobic conditions was primarily attributed to the limited formation of FeS2 during the biosynthesis of nanoparticles, which was very different from aerobic conditions. The bio-FeS nanoparticles facilitated extracellular electron transport by promoting electron shuttles and Fe(II)/Fe(III) cycling, resulting in the continuous production of ·OH. The degradation pathways showed differences under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, with intermediates exhibiting higher toxicity and greater cellular damage under aerobic conditions. However, in anaerobic conditions, bio-FeS nanoparticles enabled the successful integration of intracellular and extracellular degradation of tetracycline. This research proposed a new avenue for biocatalysis and environmental remediation.

Biodegradation and bioaugmentation of tetracycline by Providencia stuartii TX2: Performance, degradation pathway, genetic background, key enzymes, and application risk assessment. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 477:135231.

Abstract
The antibiotic tetracycline (TC) is an emerging pollutant frequently detected in various environments. Biodegradation is a crucial approach for eliminating TC contamination. However, only a few efficient TC-degrading bacteria have been isolated, and the molecular mechanisms of TC degradation, as well as their application potential, remain poorly understood. This study isolated a novel TC-degrading bacterium, Providencia stuartii TX2, from the intestine of black soldier fly larvae. TX2 exhibited remarkable performance, degrading 72.17 % of 400 mg/L TC within 48 h. Genomic analysis of TX2 unveiled the presence of antibiotic resistance genes and TC degradation enzymes. Transcriptomic analysis highlighted the roles of proteins related to efflux pumps, enzymatic transformation, adversity resistance, and unknown functions. Three TC degradation pathways were proposed, with TC being transformed into 27 metabolites through epimerization, hydroxylation, oxygenation, ring opening, and de-grouping, reducing TC toxicity. Additionally, TX2 significantly enhanced TC biodegradation in four TC-contaminated environmental samples and reduced antibiotic resistance genes and mobile genetic elements in chicken manure. This research provides insights into the survival and biodegradation mechanisms of Providencia stuartii TX2 and evaluates its potential for environmental bioremediation.

Simultaneous efficient removal of tetracycline and mitigation of antibiotic resistance genes enrichment by a modified activated sludge process with static magnetic field. WATER RESEARCH 2024; 262:122107.

Abstract
To address the increasing issue of antibiotic wastewater, this study applied a static magnetic field (SMF) to the activated sludge process to increase the efficiency of tetracycline (TC) removal from swine wastewater and to reveal its enhanced mechanisms. The results demonstrated that the SMF-modified activated sludge process could achieve almost complete TC removal at sludge loading rates of 0.3 mg TC/g MLSS/d. Analysis of zeta potential and extracellular polymeric substances composition of the activated sludge revealed that SMF increased electrostatic interactions between TC and activated sludge and made activated sludge has much more binding sites, finally resulting in the increased TC biosorption. Metagenomic analysis showed that SMF promoted the enrichment of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, TC-degrading bacteria, and aromatic compounds-degrading bacteria; it also enhanced ammonia monooxygenase- and cytochrome P450-mediated TC metabolism while upregulating functional genes associated with oxidase, reductase, and dehydrogenase - all contributing to increased TC biodegradation. Additionally, SMF mitigated the enrichment and spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) by decreasing the abundance of potential hosts of ARGs and inhibiting the upregulation of genes encoding ABC transporters and putative transposase. Based on these findings, this study demonstrates that magnetic field is an enhancement strategy with great potential to relieve the harmful impacts of the growing antibiotic wastewater problem on human health and the ecosystem.

Abstract
The "sol-gel method" was used to prepare spherical chitosan-modified bentonite (SCB) hydrogels in this study. The SCB hydrogels were characterized and used as sorbents to remove tetracycline (TC) from aqueous solutions. The adsorbents were characterized by SEM, XRD, FTIR, TG, and BET techniques. Various characterization results showed that the SCB adsorbent had fewer surface pores and a specific surface area that was 96.6% lower than the powder, but the layered mesoporous structure of bentonite remained unchanged. The adsorption process fit to both the Freundlich model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model showed that it was a non-monolayer chemical adsorption process affected by intra-particle diffusion. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity determined by the Langmuir model was 39.49 mg/g. Thermodynamic parameters indicated that adsorption was a spontaneous, endothermic, and entropy-increasing process. In addition, solid-liquid separation was easy with the SCB adsorbent, providing important reference information for the synthesis of SCB as a novel and promising adsorbent for the removal of antibiotics from wastewater at the industrial level.

Abstract
The escalating global consumption of tetracyclines (TCs) as broad-spectrum antibiotics necessitates innovative approaches to mitigate their pervasive environmental persistence and associated risks. While initiatives such as China's antimicrobial reduction efforts highlight the urgency of responsible TC usage, the need for efficient degradation methods remains paramount. Microbial degradation emerges as a promising solution, offering novel insights into degradation pathways and mechanisms. Despite challenges, including the optimization of microbial activity conditions and the risk of antibiotic resistance development, microbial degradation showcases significant innovation in its cost-effectiveness, environmental friendliness, and simplicity of implementation compared to traditional degradation methods. While the published reviews have summarized some aspects of biodegradation of TCs, a systematic and comprehensive summary of all the TC biodegradation pathways, reactions, intermediates, and final products including ring-opening products involved with enzymes and mechanisms of each bacterium and fungus reported is necessary. This review aims to fill the current gap in the literature by offering a thorough and systematic overview of the structure, bioactivity mechanism, detection methods, microbial degradation pathways, and molecular mechanisms of all tetracycline antibiotics in various microorganisms. It comprehensively collects and analyzes data on the microbial degradation pathways, including bacteria and fungi, intermediate and final products, ring-opening products, product toxicity, and the degradation mechanisms for all tetracyclines. Additionally, it points out future directions for the discovery of degradation-related genes/enzymes and microbial resources that can effectively degrade tetracyclines. This review is expected to contribute to advancing knowledge in this field and promoting the development of sustainable remediation strategies for contaminated environments.

Abstract
Biodegradation is an efficient and cost-effective approach to remove residual penicillin G sodium (PGNa) from the environment. In this study, the effective PGNa-degrading strain SQW1 (Sphingobacterium sp.) was screened from contaminated soil using enrichment technique. The effects of critical operational parameters on PGNa degradation by strain SQW1 were systematically investigated, and these parameters were optimized by response surface methodology to maximize PGNa degradation. Comparative experiments found the extracellular enzyme to completely degrade PGNa within 60 min. Combined with whole genome sequencing of strain SQW1 and LC-MS analysis of degradation products, penicillin acylase and β-lactamase were identified as critical enzymes for PGNa biodegradation. Moreover, three degradation pathways were postulated, including β-lactam hydrolysis, penicillin acylase hydrolysis, decarboxylation, desulfurization, demethylation, oxidative dehydrogenation, hydroxyl reduction, and demethylation reactions. The toxicity of PGNa biodegradation intermediates was assessed using paper diffusion method, ECOSAR, and TEST software, which showed that the biodegradation products had low toxicity. This study is the first to describe PGNa-degrading bacteria and detailed degradation mechanisms, which will provide new insights into the PGNa biodegradation.

Abstract
Microbial biotransformation is a recommended and reliable method in face of formidable tetracycline (TC) with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Herein, comprehensive characteristics of a newfound strain and its molecular mechanism in process of TC bioremediation were involved in this study. Specifically, Serratia marcescens MSM2304 isolated from pig manure sludge grew well in presence of TC and achieved optimal removal efficiency of 61% under conditions of initial TC concentration of 10 mg/L, pH of 7.0, cell inoculation amount of 5%, and tryptone of 10 g/L as additional carbon. The pathways of biotransformation include EPS biosorption, cell surface biosorption and biodegradation, which enzymatic processes of biodegradation were occurred through TC adsorbed by biofilms was firstly broken down by extracellular enzymes and part of TC migrated towards biofilm interior and degraded by intracellular enzymes. Wherein extracellular polysaccharides in extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from biofilm of strain MSM2304 mainly performed extracellular adsorption, and changes in position and intensity of CO, =CH and C-O-C/C-O of EPS possible further implied TC adsorption by it. Biodegradation accounting for 79.07% played a key role in TC biotransformation and could be fitted well by first-order model that manifesting rapid and thorough removal. Potential biodegradation pathway including demethylation, dihydroxylation, oxygenation, and ring opening possibly involved in TC disposal process of MSM2304, TC-degrading metabolites exhibited lower toxicity to indicator bacteria relative to parent TC. Whole genome sequencing as underlying molecular evidence revealed that TC resistance genes, dehydrogenases-encoding genes, monooxygenase-encoding genes, and methyltransferase-encoding genes of strain MSM2304 were positively related to TC biodegradation. Collectively, these results favored a theoretical evaluation for Serratia marcescens MSM2304 as a promising TC-control agent in environmental bioremediation processes.

[PMID: 38331265 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141405] [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: 11/24/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
This study demonstrated the design and fabrication of flower-like Ni/Mn-MOFs materials, and three-dimensional ultrathin flower-like Ni/Mn/MC microspheres were fabricated by embedding metal or metal oxide nanoparticles into a porous carbon skeleton via high-temperature pyrolysis at 600 °C and used for the electrocatalytic degradation of ceftriaxone sodium. This unique ultrathin porous flower-like structure can expose more active sites, provide rapid ion/electron transfer, and improve electrocatalytic activity. Meanwhile, the excellent electrical conductivity of the carbon skeleton, as well as the rational composition and synergistic effect of the two components, can promote the generation of active radicals (•OH and •O2-) in the reaction system, which accelerates the electrochemical degradation process and improves the electrocatalytic degradation performance. The results showed that the Ni/Mn/MC-5:1 composite prepared when the molar ratio of Ni: Mn was 5:1 exhibited the best electrocatalytic degradation performance for the degradation of sodium ceftriaxone. The composites showed 98.2% degradation of ceftriaxone sodium in 120 min and maintained sound degradation after 20 cycles. Therefore, we concluded that this novel multicomponent composite has good electrocatalytic activity and stability for the degradation of antibiotic wastewater.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CP) is a pesticide widely used in agricultural production. However, excessive use of CP is risky for human health and the ecological environment. Microbial remediation has become a research hotspot of environmental pollution control. In this study, the effective CP-degrading strain H27 (Bacillus cereus) was screened from farmland soil, and the degradation ratio was more than 80%. Then, the degradation mechanism was discussed in terms of enzymes, pathways, products and genes, and the mechanism was improved in terms of cell motility, secretory transport system and biofilm formation. The key CP-degrading enzymes were mainly intracellular enzymes (IE), and the degradation ratio reached 49.6% within 30 min. The optimal pH for IE was 7.0, and the optimal temperature was 25 °C. Using DFT and HPLC‒MS analysis, it was found that degradation mainly involved oxidation, hydrolysis and other reactions, and 3 degradation pathways and 14 products were identified, among which TCP (3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol) was the main primary degradation product in addition to small molecules such as CO2 and H2O. Finally, the whole genome of strain H27 was sequenced, and the related degrading genes and enzymes were investigated to improve the metabolic pathways. Strain H27 had perfect genes related to flagellar assembly and chemotaxis and tended to tolerate CP. Moreover, it can secrete esterase, phosphatase and other substances, which can form biofilms and degrade CP in the environment. In addition, CP enters the cell under the action of permeases or transporters, and it is metabolized by IE. The degradation mechanism of CP by strain H27 is speculated in this study, which provided a theoretical basis for enriching CP-degrading bacteria resources, improving degradation metabolic pathways and mechanisms, and applying strain H27 to environmental pollution remediation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Soil microbial fuel cells (MFCs) can remove antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) simultaneously, but their removal mechanism is unclear. In this study, metagenomic analysis was employed to reveal the functional genes involved in degradation, electron transfer and the nitrogen cycle in the soil MFC. RESULTS The results showed that the soil MFC effectively removed tetracycline in the overlapping area of the cathode and anode, which was 64% higher than that of the control. The ARGs abundance increased by 14% after tetracycline was added (54% of the amplified ARGs belonged to efflux pump genes), while the abundance decreased by 17% in the soil MFC. Five potential degraders of tetracycline were identified, especially the species Phenylobacterium zucineum, which could secrete the 4-hydroxyacetophenone monooxygenase encoded by EC 1.14.13.84 to catalyse deacylation or decarboxylation. Bacillus, Geobacter, Anaerolinea, Gemmatirosa kalamazoonesis and Steroidobacter denitrificans since ubiquinone reductase (encoded by EC 1.6.5.3), succinate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.5.1), Coenzyme Q-cytochrome c reductase (EC 1.10.2.2), cytochrome-c oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1) and electron transfer flavoprotein-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (EC 1.5.5.1) served as complexes I, II, III, IV and ubiquinone, respectively, to accelerate electron transfer. Additionally, nitrogen metabolism-related gene abundance increased by 16% to support the microbial efficacy in the soil MFC, and especially EC 1.7.5.1, and coding the mutual conversion between nitrite and nitrate was obviously improved. CONCLUSIONS The soil MFC promoted functional bacterial growth, increased functional gene abundance (including nitrogen cycling, electron transfer, and biodegradation), and facilitated antibiotic and ARG removal. Therefore, soil MFCs have expansive prospects in the remediation of antibiotic-contaminated soil. This study provides insight into the biodegradation mechanism at the gene level in soil bioelectrochemical remediation.

[PMID: 37499542 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.120397] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2023] [Revised: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/21/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023]
Abstract
As an emerging pollutant, the antibiotic tetracycline (TC) has been consistently detected in wastewater and activated sludge. Biodegradation represents a potentially crucial pathway to dissipate TC contamination. However, few efficient TC-degrading bacteria have been isolated and a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying TC degradation is still lacking. In this study, a novel TC-degrading bacterium, designated as Sphingobacterium sp. WM1, was successfully isolated from activated sludge. Strain WM1 exhibited a remarkable performance in degrading 50 mg/L TC within 1 day under co-metabolic conditions. Genomic analysis of the strain WM1 unveiled the presence of three functional tetX genes. Unraveling the complex molecular mechanisms, transcriptome analysis highlighted the role of upregulated transmembrane transport and accelerated electron transport in facilitating TC degradation. Proteomics confirmed the up-regulation of proteins involved in cellular biosynthesis/metabolism and ribosomal processes. Crucially, the tetX gene-encoding protein showed a significant upregulation, indicating its role in TC degradation. Heterologous expression of the tetX gene resulted in TC dissipation from an initial 51.9 mg/L to 4.2 mg/L within 24 h. The degradation pathway encompassed TC hydroxylation, transforming into TP461 and subsequent metabolites, which effectively depleted TC's inhibitory activity. Notably, the tetX genes in strain WM1 showed limited potential for horizontal gene transfer. Collectively, strain WM1's potent TC degradation capacity signals a promise for enhancing TC clean-up strategies.

Abstract
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play a significant role in pollutants removal in constructed wetlands (CWs). However, the purification effects of AMF on combined copper (Cu) and tetracycline (TC) pollution in CWs remains unknown. This study investigated the growth, physiological characteristics and AMF colonization of Canna indica L. living in vertical flow CWs (VFCWs) treated for Cu and/or TC pollution, the purification effects of AMF enhanced VFCWs on Cu and TC, and the microbial community structures. The results showed that (1) Cu and TC inhibited plant growth and decreased AMF colonization; (2) the removal rates of TC and Cu by VFCWs were 99.13-99.80% and 93.17-99.64%, respectively; (3) the growth, Cu and TC uptakes of C. indica and Cu removal rates were enhanced by AMF inoculation; (4) TC and Cu stresses reduced and AMF inoculation increased bacterial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) in the VFCWs, Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes and Acidobacteria were the dominant bacteria, and AMF inoculation decreased the relative abundance of Novosphingobium and Cupriavidus. Therefore, AMF could enhance the pollutants purification in VFCWs by promoting plant growth and altering the microbial community structures.

Removal of tetracycline in nitrification membrane bioreactors with different ammonia loading rates: Performance, metabolic pathway, and key contributors. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023:121922. [PMID: 37257809 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.121922] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 04/29/2023] [Accepted: 05/27/2023] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) have been widely applied for the treatment of wastewater that contains high concentrations of both ammonium and antibiotics. Nonetheless, information about tetracycline (TC) removal in nitrification MBRs with high ammonium loading rates (ALRs) is still very limited. Herein, the fate of TC at four different concentrations of 1, 5, 20, and 50 mg/L in three parallel lab-scale nitrification MBRs with different ALRs (named AN50, AN500, and AN1000) were investigated in this study. Excellent nitrification performance and high TC removal efficiency (90.46%) were achieved in AN1000 at influent TC concentration of 50 mg/L. Higher ALRs promoted the removal of TC at lower influent TC concentration (≤5 mg/L), while no significant difference was observed in TC removal efficiencies among different ALRs MBRs at higher influent TC concentration (≥20 mg/L), implying that the heterotrophic degradation could be strengthened after long-term exposure to high concentration of TC. Batch tests demonstrated that adsorption and biodegradation were the primary TC removal routes by nitrification sludge, of which both autotrophic ammonia oxidizers and heterotrophic microorganisms played an important role in the biodegradation of TC. FT-IR spectroscopy confirmed that amide groups on the sludge biomass contributed to the adsorption of TC. Mass balance analyses indicated that biodegradation (63.4-88.6% for AN50, 74.5-88.4% for AN500 and 74.4-91.4% for AN1000) was the major mechanism responsible for the removal of TC in nitrification MBRs, and its contribution increased with influent TC concentration, while only 1.1%-15.0% of TC removal was due to biosorption. TC was progressively degraded to small molecules and the presence of TC had no notable effect on membrane permeability. These jointly confirmed TC could be effectively removed via initial adsorption and subsequent biodegradation, while biodegradation was the primary mechanism in this study.

Abstract
Tetracycline (TC) is an antibiotic that is recently found as an emerging pollutant with low biodegradability. Biodegradation shows great potential for TC dissipation. In this study, two TC-degrading microbial consortia (named SL and SI) were respectively enriched from activated sludge and soil. Bacterial diversity decreased in these finally enriched consortia compared with the original microbiota. Moreover, most ARGs quantified during the acclimation process became less abundant in the finally enriched microbial consortia. Microbial compositions of the two consortia as revealed by 16 S rRNA sequencing were similar to some extent, and the dominant genera Pseudomonas, Sphingobacterium, and Achromobacter were identified as the potential TC degraders. In addition, consortia SL and SI were capable of biodegrading TC (initial 50 mg/L) by 82.92% and 86.83% within 7 days, respectively. They could retain high degradation capabilities under a wide pH range (4-10) and at moderate/high temperatures (25-40 °C). Peptone with concentrations of 4-10 g/L could serve as a desirable primary growth substrate for consortia to remove TC through co-metabolism. A total of 16 possible intermediates including a novel biodegradation product TP245 were detected during TC degradation. Peroxidase genes, tetX-like genes and the enriched genes related to aromatic compound degradation as revealed by metagenomic sequencing were likely responsible for TC biodegradation.

Abstract
Bacteria-induced biodegradation techniques have become an effective approach for removing pesticide residues from polluted soils. However, their effect on chiral fungicides must be systematically evaluated and the efficiency and risk of each chiral enantiomer must be better understood. In this study, we isolated and enriched seven bacterial strains that are able to degrade mandipropamid from contaminated soil samples. Three bacterial strains with high degradation efficiency (63.6%-73.4%) were screened and identified as Pseudomonas sp. (M01), Mycolicibacterium parafortuitum (MW05), and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (MW09) by morphological and 16S rRNA gene sequencing analyses. The degradation characteristics of three strains (M01, MW05, and MW09) was investigated and it was revealed that pH, temperature, and initial concentration of mandipropamid significantly impacted their degradation efficiency. The optimal conditions for degradation were a nutrient source of mandipropamid and an inoculation amount of 5%. We used a Box-Behnken model experiment and an analysis of variance to determine the most suitable conditions for degrading mandipropamid at various pH, temperature, and initial concentration levels. A response surface methodology analysis showed that the three strains had the highest mandipropamid degradation efficiency (> 96%) under various conditions (pH: 7.15-7.71, temperature: 28.61-30.76 °C, initial concentration: 5.524-5.934 mg/L). Mycelial, intracellular, and extracellular enzymes also had an impact on the degradation of mandipropamid enantiomers by the three strains. In soil remediation trials, the three bacterial strains could effectively enantioselectively degrade rac-mandipropamid residues in polluted sterilized and natural soil samples (R-enantiomer was degraded faster) and influence the activity of urease and β-glucosidase in the soil. The results revealed several candidate bacterial strains for mandipropamid biodegradation and provide information on mandipropamid biological detoxification in soil environments.

Abstract
Antibiotics undergo a series of complex transport and transformation route after entering the environment; however, there is scarce information about the effects of the bacterial phosphate-solubilizing process on tetracycline (TC) transformation. In this study, Pseudomonas sp. TC952 was identified as phosphate-solubilizing bacterium with high phosphate-solubilizing ability even under TC stress; it could solubilize maximum phosphate with a production of 400 mg/L soluble phosphate in 2 days. TC did not affect phosphate solubilizing in a short time incubation, but slightly promoted in a long incubation time. TC was adsorbed by inorganic phosphate with high efficiency of 53.09% within 1 day. Four tetracycline antibiotic resistance and sixteen inorganic phosphate-solubilizing-related genes were identified in the genome, which revealed the phosphate-solubilizing mechanism was that strain TC952 secrete organic acid to resolve inorganic phosphate and also secrete siderophore to chelate inorganic phosphate. So, during the inorganic phosphate-solubilizing process of strain TC952, TC was de-adsorbed from inorganic phosphate, and the solution was acidified into pH 4.3 through secreting organic acid to dissolve inorganic phosphorus, which resulted in Ca2+ and PO43- releasing into the solution. Finally, the acidic condition and PO43- enhanced TC hydrolysis. The mechanism of phosphate-solubilizing process on TC removal and genome analysis provides us new insight of the TC migration and transformation route in the environment.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 217:114963.

Abstract
17β-estradiol (E2) pollution has attracted much attention, and the existence of E2 poses certain risks to the environment and human health. However, the mechanism of microbial degradation of E2 remains unclear. In this study, the location of E2-degrading enzymes was investigated, and transcriptome analysis of Microbacterium resistens MZT7 (M. resistens MZT7) exposed to E2. The degradation of E2 by M. resistens MZT7 was via the biological action of E2-induced intracellular enzymes. With the RNA sequencing, we found 1109 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Among them, 773 genes were up-regulated and 336 genes were down-regulated. The results of the RNA sequencing indicated the DEGs were related to transport, metabolism, and stress response. Genes for transport, transmembrane transport, oxidoreductase activity, ATPase activity, transporter activity and quorum sensing were up-regulated. Genes for the tricarboxylic acid cycle, ribosome, oxidative phosphorylation and carbon metabolism were down-regulated. In addition, heterologous expression of one enzymes efficiently degraded E2. These findings provide some new insights into the molecular mechanism of biotransformation of E2 by M. resistens MZT7.

Abstract
A novel strain, Nitratireductor sp. GZWM139 capable of efficient removal of SMX was isolated from mariculture sewage, and Nitratireductor was reported to conduct the removal of antibiotics for the first time. Strain GZWM139 exhibited desirable adaptations to environmental factors with SMX removal efficiencies more than 90 % at temperatures of 28-38 °C, pH values of 4.5-8.5, salinities of 20-30 ‰, SMX levels of 1-5 mg/L and shaking speeds of 20-260 rpm. SMX removal was a cooperated process implemented by intracellular enzymes and extracellular enzymes, and was achieved through four proposed biotransformation pathways with the occurrences of demethylation, hydroxylation, nitration, formylation, oxidation, bond cleavage and ring opening. Strain GZWM139 responded to the SMX removal process by altering properties of cell membrane and motivating activities of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes and antioxidant system. Genomic analysis proved the existence of functional genes relevant to the SMX removal in strain GZWM139 and provided echoing genetic insights for revealing the SMX removal mechanism. Strain GZWM139 performed efficient detoxification of SMX and accomplished simultaneous removal of SMX and nitrogen in both mariculture sewage and domestic sewage. The findings are significant to the effective elimination of SMX pollution and comprehensive cognitions on metabolic mechanisms of SMX removal.

Abstract
A novel porous nanocomposite composed of hydroxyapatite nanorods (HAP), a MIL-101(Fe) metal-organic framework, and Fe3O4 nanoparticles was successfully fabricated in this work. The magnetic HAP/MIL-101(Fe)/Fe3O4 ternary nanocomposite was identified by various techniques, namely FT-IR spectroscopy, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, SEM, EDX, TEM, BET specific surface area, zeta potential, and VSM measurements. Tetracycline (TC) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) aqueous solutions were used to evaluate the adsorption performance of the resulting HAP/MIL-101(Fe)/Fe3O4 composite. The adsorption rate and capacity of HAP/MIL-101(Fe)/Fe3O4 were increased as compared with HAP, MIL-101(Fe), and HAP/MIL-101(Fe) samples due to the increased attraction. The influence of initial drug concentration, adsorbent dosage, temperature, and pH on the adsorption process was investigated. The results showed that the removal efficiencies of HAP/MIL-101(Fe)/Fe3O4 for TC and CIP were 95% and 93%, under the determined optimum conditions: pH of 7, drug concentration of 50 mg L-1, adsorbent dosage of 30 mg, and temperature of 25 °C. The maximum adsorption capacities of HAP/MIL-101(Fe)/Fe3O4 for TC and CIP were 120.48 mg g-1 and 112.35 mg g-1, respectively. Reusability of the prepared nanocomposite was easily achieved up to three times without significant change in its structure. As a result, the synthesized magnetic nanocomposite can be reused as a suitable absorbent for TC and CIP removal from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Antibiotics have been recognized as emerging contaminants that are widely distributed and accumulated in aquatic environment, posing a risk to ecosystem at trace level. Constructed wetlands (CWs) have been regarded as a sustainable and cost-effective alternative for efficient elimination of antibiotics. This review summarizes the removal of 5 categories of widely used antibiotics in CWs, and discusses the roles of the key components in CW system, i.e., substrate, macrophytes, and microorganisms, in removing antibiotics. Overall, the vertical subsurface flow CWs have proven to perform better in terms of antibiotic removal (>78%) compared to other single CWs. The adsorption behavior of antibiotics in wetland substrates is determined by the physicochemical properties of antibiotics, substrate configuration and operating parameters. The effects of wetland plants on antibiotic removal mainly include direct (e.g., plant uptake and degradation) and indirect (e.g., rhizosphere processes) manners. The possible interactions between microorganisms and antibiotics include biosorption, bioaccumulation and biodegradation. The potential strategies for further enhancement of the antibiotic removal performance in CWs included optimizing operation parameters, innovating substrate, strengthening microbial activity, and integrating with other treatment technologies. Taken together, this review provides useful information for facilitating the development of feasible, innovative and intensive antibiotic removal technologies in CWs, as well as enhancing the economic viability and ecological sustainability.

Abstract
Doxycycline hydrochloride (DCH) could be continuously removed by Bacillus thuringiensis S622 with the in-situ biogenic manganese oxide (BioMnOx) via oxidizing/regenerating. The DCH removal rate was significantly increased by 3.01-fold/1.47-fold at high/low Mn loaded via the integration of biological (intracellular/extracellular electron transfer (IET/EET)) and abiotic process (BioMnOx, Mn(III) and •OH). BioMnOx accelerated IET via activating coenzyme Q to enhance electrons transfer (ET) from complex I to complex III, and as an alternative electron acceptor for respiration and provide another electron transfer transmission channel. Additionally, EET was also accelerated by stimulating to secrete flavins, cytochrome c (c-Cyt) and flavin bounded with c-Cyt (Flavins & Cyts). To our best knowledge, this is the first report about the role of BioMnOx on IET/EET during antibiotic biodegradation. These results suggested that Bacillus thuringiensis S622 incorporated with BioMnOx could adopt an alternative strategy to enhance DCH degradation, which may be of biogeochemical and technological significance.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) are increasingly entering the urban aquatic ecosystems, and the environmental significance and health risks of plastisphere, a special biofilm on MPs, have received widespread attention. In this study, MPs of polylactic acid (PLA) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and quartzite were incubated in an urban water environment, and the tetracycline (TC) degradation ability was compared. Approximatedly 24% of TC biodegraded in 28 d in the water-quartzite system, which is significantly higher than that in the water-PLA (17.3%) and water-PVC systems (16.7%). Re-incubation of microorganisms in biofilms affirmed that quartzite biofilm has a higher TC degradation capacity than the plastisphere. According to high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA and metagenomic analysis, quartzite biofilm contained more abundant potential TC degrading bacteria, genes related to TC degradation (eutG, aceE, and DLAT), and metabolic pathways related to TC degradation. An oligotrophic environment on the quartzite surface might lead to the higher metabolic capacity of quartzite biofilm for unconventional carbons, e.g., TC. It is also found that, compared with quartzite biofilm, the distinct microbes in the plastisphere carried more antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Higher affinity of MPs surface to antibiotics may lead to higher antibiotics stress on the plastisphere, which further amplify the carrying capacity for ARGs of microorganisms in the plastisphere. Compared to the nondegradable PVC MPs, surface of the biodegradable PLA plastics harbored significantly higher amounts of biomass and ARGs. Compared to the mineral particles, the capability of plastisphere has lower ability to degrade unconventional carbon sources such as the refractory organic pollutants, due to the abundance of carbon sources (adsorbed organic carbon and endogenous organic carbon) on the MPs surface. Meanwhile, the stronger adsorption capacity for pollutants also leads to higher pollutant stress (such as antibiotic stress) in plastisphere, which in turn affects the microbiological characteristics of the plastisphere itself, such as carrying more ARGs.

Abstract
Comprehensive knowledge on the biotransformation of tetracycline (TC) is critical for the improvement of TC removal in the bioremediation process. This work isolated a novel TC-degrading bacterial strain Alcaligenes sp. T17 and explored its degradation ability under different conditions. Temperature and pH could affect the degradation efficiency, and higher temperature as well as neutral and weakly acidic conditions were conducive to the biotransformation. Response surface methodology predicted the maximum degradation rate of TC (94.35%) under the condition of 25.15 mg/L TC, pH 7.23, and inoculation dosage 1.17% at 40 °C. According to the result of disk diffusion tests, the biodegradation products had lower antimicrobial potency than the parent compound. Five potential biodegradation products were identified, and a possible degradation pathway (degrouping, oxidation and ring-opening) was proposed. The draft genome of strain T17 was also determined. Genomic analysis indicated that strain T17 harbored multiple genes that participated in the metabolism of aromatic compounds as well as genes encoding oxygenases. These functional genes may be relevant to TC biotransformation. This study could provide new insights towards the biotransformation of TC mediated by bacteria.

Abstract
Microbial degradation of chlortetracycline (CTC) is an effective bioremediation method. In the present study, an enrichment technique was used to isolate a Bacillus cereus LZ01 strain capable of effectively degrading CTC from cattle manure. Response surface methodology was used to identify optimized conditions under which strain LZ01 was able to achieve maximal CTC removal (83.58%): temperature of 35.77 °C, solution pH of 7.59, CTC concentration of 57.72 mg/L and microbial inoculum of 0.98%. The antibacterial effect of CTC degradation products on Escherichia coli was investigated by the disk diffusion test, revealing that the products by LZ01 degradation of CTC exhibited lower toxicity than parent compound. Shake flask batch experiments showed that the biodegradation of CTC was a synergistic effect of intracellular and extracellular enzymes, and intracellular enzyme had a better degradation effect on CTC (77.56%). Whole genome sequencing revealed that genes associated with ring-opening hydrolysis, demethylation, deamination and dehydrogenation in strain LZ01 may be involved in the biodegradation of CTC. Subsequent seven possible biodegradation products were identified by LC-MS analyses, and the biodegradation pathways were proposed. Overall, this study provides a theoretical foundation for the characterization and mechanism of CTC degradation in the environment by Bacillus cereus LZ01.

Abstract
The development of photocatalysts for efficient tetracycline (TC) degradation under visible light is urgently needed yet remains a great challenge. Most semiconductor photocatalysts with low specific surface area are easy to agglomerate in solution and unfavorable for enriching pollutants. Herein, we present the preparation of pomegranate-shaped zinc oxide@zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZnO@ZIF-8) by in situ growth of ZIF-8 on a petal-shaped ZnO template that enhances the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of TC. ZnO@ZIF-8 exhibits an excellent photostability and a TC photodegradation efficiency of 91% under visible light (λ > 420 nm) in 50 min at room temperature, which can be recycled over five times without any loss of activity. Moreover, the plausible photocatalysis reaction mechanism and the degradation intermediates are elucidated with the aid of three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix spectra and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry system. This study offers new insights into the design of antibiotic degradation photocatalysts and the development of photocatalysts with broad-spectrum responses for efficient TC elimination.

Chen X, Yang Y, Ke Y, Chen C, Xie S. A comprehensive review on biodegradation of tetracyclines: Current research progress and prospect. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 814:152852.

Abstract
The release of tetracyclines (TCs) in the environment is of significant concern because the residual antibiotics may promote resistance in pathogenic microorganisms, and the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes poses a potential threat to ecosystems. Microbial biodegradation plays an important role in removing TCs in both natural and artificial systems. After long-term acclimation, microorganisms that can tolerate and degrade TCs are retained to achieve efficient removal of TCs under the optimum conditions (e.g. optimal operational parameters and moderate concentrations of TCs). To date, cultivation-based techniques have been used to isolate bacteria or fungi with potential degradation ability. Moreover, the biodegradation mechanism of TCs can be unveiled with the development of chemical analysis (e.g. UPLC-Q-TOF mass spectrometer) and molecular biology techniques (e.g. 16S rRNA gene sequencing, multi-omics sequencing, and whole genome sequencing). In this review, we made an overview of the biodegradation of TCs in different systems, refined functional microbial communities and pure isolates relevant to TCs biodegradation, and summarized the biodegradation products, pathways, and degradation genes of TCs. In addition, ecological risks of TCs biodegradation were considered from the perspectives of metabolic products toxicity and resistance genes. Overall, this article aimed to outline the research progress of TCs biodegradation and propose future research prospects.

Biodegradation of Tetracycline Antibiotics by the Yeast Strain Cutaneotrichosporon dermatis M503. Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10030565. [PMID: 35336139 PMCID: PMC8955161 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms10030565] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2022] [Revised: 02/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study, the Cutaneotrichosporon dermatis strain M503 was isolated and could efficiently degrade tetracycline, doxycycline, and chlorotetracyline. The characteristics of tetracycline degradation were investigated under a broad range of cultural conditions. Response surface methodology (RSM) predicted that the highest degradation rate of tetracycline could be obtained under the following conditions: 39.69 °C, pH of 8.79, and inoculum dose of 4.0% (v/v, ~3.5 × 106 cells/mL in the medium). In accordance with the five identified degradation products of tetracycline, two putative degradation pathways, which included the shedding of methyl and amino groups, were proposed. Moreover, the well diffusion method showed that the strain of M503 decreases the antibacterial potency of tetracycline, doxycycline, and chlorotetracycline. These findings proposed a putative mechanism of tetracycline degradation by a fungus strain and contributed to the estimation of the fate of tetracycline in the aquatic environment.

Abstract
Chlortetracycline (CTC) degradation using potential microbial consortia or individual bacterial strains was useful method for improving bioremediation potential. The co-culture (Klebsiella pneumoniae CH3 and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CS1) of bacterial strains have the ability to degrade chlortetracycline (91.8 ± 1.7%), followed by sulfamethoxazole (62.1 ± 1.2%) and amoxicillin (73.9 ± 3.3%). It was observed that the degradation potential was maximum after 10 days incubation, 8-10% inoculum, pH 7.5, and antibiotic concentration ranged from 150 to 200 mg/L. The initial concentrations of CTC significantly affected CTC degradation. In strain CH3, maximum biodegradation of CTC (99.4 ± 2.3%) was observed at 200 mg/L initial CTC concentrations. In CS1, maximum biodegradation of CTC was obtained at 150 mg/L concentration (80.5 ± 3.2%) after 10 days of culture. Alkaline pH was found to be suitable for the degradation of antibiotic than acidic range. After initial optimization by one factor at a time approach in free cells, the bacterial strains (CH3 and CS1) were co-immobilized. The co-immobilized bacterial cells showed improved degradation potential than free cells. To determine the biodegradation potential of immobilized cells, the selected strains were immobilized in polymer beads and treated with CTC with 175 mg/L initial concentration. The experimental results revealed that after 3 days of treatment the residual CTC concentration was 150.1 ± 3.2 mg/L and it decreased as 1.28 ± 0.01 mg/L after 10 days of treatment. The present study confirmed the effectiveness and feasibility of biodegradation ability of K. pneumoniae CH3 and B. amyloliquefaciens CS1 immobilized for CTC degradation in wastewater.

Abstract
Degradation of sulfonamides (SAs) by microorganisms has become a focus of current research. Sulfamethazine (SMZ) is a type of SA widely used in the livestock and poultry industry. However, understanding the intermediate products, degradation pathways and mechanism of SMZ biodegradation is limited at present. In this study, a SMZ degrading bacterium Bacillus cereus H38, which can use SMZ as its only carbon source, was isolated from farmland soil. The bacterium was gram-positive with rod-shaped cells. The effects of initial SMZ concentration, pH, temperature and amount of inoculation on the biodegradation of SMZ were investigated by a single factor experiment. The results showed that the maximum degradation rate of SMZ was achieved in the environmental conditions at an initial SMZ concentration of 5 mg/L, pH of 7.0, temperature of 25 °C and inoculation amount of 5%. Under these optimum degradation conditions, strain H38 can completely degrade SMZ within 3 days. The effects of intracellular enzymes, extracellular enzymes and periplasmic enzymes on the SMZ degradation process were compared. It was found that intracellular enzymes contributed the most to the biodegradation of SMZ, and the degradation rate approached 70%. Three possible intermediates were identified by LC-MS/MS, and two degradation pathways were proposed. Whole genome sequencing results showed that the genome size of strain H38 was 5,477,631 bp, including 5599 coding sequences (CDSs), and the GC content was 35.21%. In addition, functional annotation of CDSs was performed to analyze the metabolic pathways of nitrogen and sulfur in strain H38 combining genomics and bioinformatics. This study proposes new insights into the mechanism for biodegradation of SAs and will inform future research.

Abstract
In this study, a lipid degrading microbe consortium (LDMC) was assembled to improve the performance of activated sludge (AS) on cooking wastewater purification. LDMC can rapidly degrade high-level oil (efficiency beyond 93.0% at 5.0 g/L) as sole carbon source under various environmental conditions (10.0-45.0 °C, pH 2.0-12.0). With LDMC inoculation, AS' water treatment performance was significantly enhanced, which removed 36.10 and 48.93% more chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ammonia nitrogen from wastewater than control. A better settling property and smaller bulking risk were found with LDMC inoculation, indicated by a lower SV30 and SVI index but a higher MLSS. By GC/MS analysis, a gradual degradation on the end of the fatty acid chain was suggested. LDMC inoculation significantly changed AS's microbial community structure, improved its stability, decreased the microbial community diversity, facilitated the enrichment of lipid degraders and functional genes related to lipid bio-degradation. Lipid degraders including Nakamurella sp. and Stenotrophomona sp., etc. played a crucial role during oil degradation. Sludge structure maintainers such as Kineosphaera sp. contributed largely to the stability of AS under exogenous stress. This study provided an efficient approach for cooking wastewater treatment along with the underlying mechanism exploration, which should give insights into oil-containing environmental remediation.

Abstract
Water pollution induced by the tetracycline (TC) has caused global increasing attention owing to its extensive use, environmental persistence, and potential harm for human health. Adsorption and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been promising techniques for TC removal due to ideal effectiveness and efficiency. Magnetic composites (MCs) which exploit the combined advantages of nano scale, alternative sources, easy preparation, and separation from wastewater are widely used for catalysis and adsorption. Herein, we intensively reviewed the available literature in order to provide comprehensive insight into the applications and mechanisms of MCs for removal of TC by adsorption and AOPs. The synthesis methods of MCs, the TC adsorption, and removal mechanisms are fully discussed. MCs serve as efficient adsorbents and photocatalysts with superior performance of photocatalytic performance in TC degradation. In addition, the TC can be effectively decomposed by the Fenton-based and SO4•− mediated oxidation under catalysis of the reported MCs with excellent catalytic performance. Based on the existing literature, we further discuss the challenge and future perspectives in MCs-based adsorption and AOPs in removing TC.

Enhanced fluoroglucocorticoid removal from groundwater in a bio-electrochemical system with polyaniline-loaded activated carbon three-dimensional electrodes: Performance and mechanisms.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the removal performance and mechanisms of dexamethasone (DEX), a representative fluoroglucocorticoid (FGC), from micro-polluted oligotrophic groundwater in a bio-electrochemical system amended with polyaniline-loaded activated carbon (PANI@AC) as three-dimensional particle electrodes (BES-3D). The BES-3D achieved a DEX removal efficiency of 95.7%, which was 39.0% and 14.1% higher than that of a single biological system (SBIO) and two-dimensional bio-electrochemical system (BES-2D), respectively. The preliminary metabolic mechanism of defluorination accounted for 53.5%, 41.1%, and 16.3% in BES-3D, BES-2D, and SBIO, respectively, which was accompanied by demethylation, side-chain fracture, and hydroxyl oxidation for ketone formation and final-ring opening. The main mechanism by which removal was improved in BES-3D was the enrichment of functional microbes and enhancement of the expression of dehalogenation genes. The relative abundance of functional microbes with electron transfer ability and reductive dehalogenating genera, i.e., Pseudomonas, Methylotenera, Desulfuromonas, Sphingomonas, and Microbacterium, in BES-3D was 3.7-6.1 times higher and the copy number of functional genes was 1.9 times higher than those of SBIO, which contributed to the high DEX removal.

Abstract
Sphingobacterium changzhouense TC931 was isolated as a novel TC (tetracycline) removal bacterium through adsorption on extracellular polymerase substances (EPS) and cellular surface and biodegradation. TC biodegradation efficiency by strain TC931 was affected by solution initial pH and carbon source. Polysaccharides and hydrocarbons in EPS and cellular surface were responsible for TC biosorption. Eight possible biodegradation products were identified and the biodegradation pathway was proposed. Strain TC931 was rich in antibiotic resistance genes, and tetX-TC931 and antibiotics resistance genome island (GI) may be acquired via horizontal gene transfer in early evolutionary history. The GI was incomplete and may stable in strain TC931, but it could develop into an intact and transferability GI with help of other mobile genetic elements. This work offers a theoretical basis for understanding the survival and biodegradation mechanisms of S. changzhouense TC931 under TC stress, and offers an ecological safety assessment for its application in environmental bioremediation.

Abstract
Tetracyclines (TCs) are a group of broad-spectrum antibiotics having vast human, veterinary, and aquaculture applications. The continuous release of TCs residues into the environment and the inadequate removal through the conventional treatment systems result in its prevalent occurrence in soil, surface water, groundwater, and even in drinking water. As aqueous TCs contamination is the tip of the iceberg, and TCs possess good sorption capacity towards soil, sediments, sludge, and manure, it is insufficient to rely on the sorptive removal in the conventional water treatment plants. The severity of the TCs contamination is evident from the emergence of TCs resistance in a wide variety of microorganisms. This paper reviews the recent research on the TCs occurrence in the environmental matrices, fate in natural systems, toxic effects, and the removal methods. The high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) determination of TCs in environmental samples and the associated technology developments are analyzed. The benefits and limitations of biochemical and physicochemical removal processes are also discussed. This work draws attention to the inevitability of proper TC sludge management. This paper also gives insight into the limitations of TCs related research and the future scope of research in environmental contamination by TCs residues.

Abstract
Herein, a novel Zn-loaded biochar (Zn-LBC) originating from Fraxinus pennsylvanica Marsh leaves was successfully prepared through a simple and rapid self-propagating combustion reaction (SHS) and could serve as an efficient adsorbent for tetracycline (TC) elimination from water. The adsorption performance was analyzed via a series of characterizations and batch adsorption experiments. The results showed that the novel adsorbent Zn-LBC exhibited an excellent TC adsorption capacity (159.64 mg/g), which was 2.63 times higher than that of the original biochar (60.78 mg/g). The pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Freundlich isothermal model fit the adsorption data well. It is noteworthy that Zn-LBC had little effect on the adsorption capacity of TC in the 0-10 mg/L various coexisting ion range and presence of humic acid (HA). In addition, the adsorption test of TC using hospital wastewater as the water sample also achieved satisfactory results (raw influent: 52.65 mg/g, final effluent: 85.64 mg/g). FT-IR and XPS investigations showed that the TC adsorption mechanism included surface complexation, π-π interactions, and hydrogen bonds. The results provide new ideas for exploring low-cost and highly efficient modified biochar adsorbent for TC elimination.

Abstract
Tetracycline (TC) is a commonly used human and veterinary antibiotic that is mostly discharged into wastewater in the form of the parent compounds. At present, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) use activated sludge processes that are not specifically designed to remove such pollutants. Considering the biological toxicity of TC in aquatic environment, the migration and fate of TC in the process of wastewater treatment deserve attention. This paper reviews the influence of TC on the functional bacteria in the sludge matrix and the development of tetracycline-resistant genes, and also discusses their adsorption removal rates, their adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherm models, and infers their adsorption mechanism. In addition, the biodegradation of TC in the process of biological treatment is reviewed. Co-metabolism and the role of dominant bacteria in the degradation process are described, along with the formation of degradation byproducts and their toxicity. Furthermore, the current popular integrated coupling-system for TC degradation is also introduced. This paper systematically introduces the interaction between TC and activated sludge in WWTPs. The review concludes by providing directions to address research and knowledge gaps in TC removal from wastewater.

Abstract
In this study, biochar derived from municipal sludge was activated by zinc chloride, which was first time used as the precursor for hydrothermal synthesis of magnetic sludge biochar (Fe/Zn-SBC) for tetracycline (TC) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) removal. The maximum adsorption capacity of Fe/Zn-SBC for TC and CIP were 145 mg g-1 and 74.2 mg g-1 at 25 °C, respectively. Kinetics, isotherms, thermodynamics and characterization analysis suggested that the adsorption process was dominated by pore filling, oxygen-containing groups complexation, π-π conjugation and hydrogen bonding. Fe/Zn-SBC had the high selective adsorption capacity for TC and CIP in a wide pH range and even at the high ionic strength. The magnetic sensitivity ensured its easy separation performance. The co-processing of ultrasound and ethanol could effectively regenerate the used Fe/Zn-SBC. Also, it exhibited great environmental safety in the pH range of 3 to 12. These superiority suggested that it is a promising adsorbent for antibiotics removal.

Abstract
Due to their broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and low cost, tetracyclines (TCs) are a class of antibiotics widely used for human and veterinary medical purposes and as a growth-promoting agent for aquaculture. Interrelationships between TCs and nitrogen cycling have attracted scientific attention due to the complicated processes mediated by microorganisms. TCs negatively impact the nitrogen cycling; however, simultaneous degradation of TCs during nitrogen cycling mediated by microorganisms can be achieved. This review encapsulates the background and distribution of TCs in the environment. Additionally, the main nitrogen cycling process mediated by microorganisms were retrospectively examined. Furthermore, effects of TCs on the nitrogen cycling processes, namely nitrification, denitrification, and anammox, have been summarized. Finally, the pathway and microbial mechanism of degradation of TCs accompanied by nitrogen cycling processes were reviewed, along with the scope for prospective studies.

Tetracycline Removal by Activating Persulfate with Diatomite Loading of Fe and Ce. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25235531. [PMID: 33255809 PMCID: PMC7728345 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25235531] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2020] [Revised: 11/15/2020] [Accepted: 11/24/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Persulfate (PS)-based oxidation technology is efficient in removing refractory organics from water. A novel diatomite (DIA) support Fe and Ce composite (Fe-Ce/DIA) was prepared for activating persulfate to degrade tetracycline in water. The Fe and Ce were uniformly loaded on DIA, and the total pore size of Fe-Ce/DIA was 6.99 × 10−2 cm3/g, and the average pore size was 12.06 nm. Fe-Ce/DIA presented a good catalytic activity and 80% tetracycline was removed under the persulfate system. The Fe-Ce/DIA also had photocatalytic activity, and the corresponding tetracycline removal efficiency was 86% under UV irradiation. Fe-Ce/DIA exhibited less iron dissolution rate compared with Fe-DIA. The tetracycline degradation rate was enhanced when the temperature increased. The optimal tetracycline removal efficiency was obtained when the conditions were of persulfate 10 mM, Fe-Ce/DIA dosage 0.02 g/L, and tetracycline concentration 50 mg/L. In addition, Fe-Ce/DIA showed a wide pH application and good reusability and stability.

Abstract
Tetracycline residues have frequently been detected in multi-environmental media, and it could induce antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in microorganisms, which has attracted great attention. Where biodegradation processes may be a promising strategy to remove tetracycline. Thus, this study mainly considers: (i) the degradation of tetracycline by microorganisms including single microorganisms and microbial flora; (ii) the elimination of tetracycline during biochemical treatment processes and advanced treatment systems in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and constructed wetlands (CWs); (iii) the degradation of tetracycline by biological coupling processes; (iv) the confusion and problem of tetracycline biodegradation. Furthermore, the characteristics and comparison of tetracycline biodegradation have been discussed in detail. Additionally, future research directions are suggested to reduce tetracycline in the aquatic environment, especially tetracycline biodegradation and the nitrogen conversion process. Highlights Degradation of tetracycline by pure culture strains and microflora was significant. Degradation of tetracycline by biochemical treatment process was summarized. Advanced treatment process in CWs could eliminate tetracycline. Future research directions on biodegradation of tetracycline are proposed.

Biodegradation of Amoxicillin, Tetracyclines and Sulfonamides in Wastewater Sludge. WATER 2020. [DOI: 10.3390/w12082147] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
The removal of antibiotics from the aquatic environment has received great interest. The aim of this study is to examine degradation of oxytetracycline (OTC), tetracycline (TC), chlortetracycline (CTC), amoxicillin (AMO), sulfamethazine (SMZ), sulfamethoxazole (SMX), sulfadimethoxine (SDM) in sludge. Four antibiotic-degrading bacterial strains, SF1 (Pseudmonas sp.), A12 (Pseudmonas sp.), strains B (Bacillus sp.), and SANA (Clostridium sp.), were isolated, identified and tested under aerobic and anaerobic conditions in this study. Batch experiments indicated that the addition of SF1 and A12 under aerobic conditions and the addition of B and SANA under anaerobic conditions increased the biodegradation of antibiotics in sludge. Moreover, the results of repeated addition experiments indicated that the efficiency of the biodegradation of antibiotics using the isolated bacterial strains could be maintained for three degradation cycles. Two groups of potential microbial communities associated with the aerobic and anaerobic degradation of SMX, AMO and CTC in sludge were revealed. Twenty-four reported antibiotics-degrading bacterial genera (Achromobacter, Acidovorax, Acinetobacter, Alcaligenes, Bacillus, Burkholderia, Castellaniella, Comamonas, Corynebacterium, Cupriavidus, Dechloromonas, Geobacter, Gordonia, Klebsiella, Mycobacterium, Novosphingobium, Pandoraea, Pseudomonas, Rhodococcus, Sphingomonas, Thauera, Treponema, Vibrio and Xanthobacter) were found in both the aerobic and anaerobic groups, suggesting that these 24 bacterial genera may be the major antibiotic-degrading bacteria in sludge.
