Abstract
Developing rapid tetracycline sensing system is of great significance to monitor the illegal addition to drugs and pollution to food and ecosystem. By loading covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with Eu3+, a new hybridized material (COF@Eu3+) was prepared for tetracycline determination. Based on the Schiff base reaction, the COFs were by synthesized through solvent evaporation in 30 min at room temperature. Thereafter, Eu3+ was modified into COFs to develop the COF@Eu3+ sensing platform by adsorption and coordination. In presence of tetracycline, tetracycline can displace water molecules and coordinate with Eu3+ through the antenna effect. As a result, the red fluorescence of Eu3+ was enhanced by tetracycline with green fluorescence of COF as a reference. The developed ratiometric fluorescence sensor exhibits a linear range of 0.1-20 μM for detecting tetracycline with a detection limit of 30 nM. Integrated with a smartphone, the rapid tetracycline detection can be realized in situ, which is potential for high-throughput screening of tetracycline contaminated samples. Furthermore, the COF@Eu3+ fluorescence sensor has been successfully applied to the detection of tetracycline in traditional Chinese medicine compound preparation with satisfied recoveries. Therefore, a smartphone-assisted device was successfully developed based on Eu3+-functionalized COF, which is an attractive candidate for further applications of fluorescence sensing and visual detection.

Wang Z, Li Y, Wang J, Li S. Tetracycline antibiotics in agricultural soil: Dissipation kinetics, transformation pathways, and structure-related toxicity. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 949:175126. [PMID: 39084385 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.175126] [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: 06/03/2024] [Revised: 07/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/27/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
Tetracyclines (TCs) are the most common antibiotics in agricultural soil, due to their widespread usage and strong persistence. Biotic and abiotic degradation of TCs may generate toxic transformation products (TPs), further threatening soil ecological safety. Despite the increasing attention on the environmental behavior of TCs, a systematic review on the dissipation of TCs, evolution of TPs, and structure-toxicity relationship of TCs in agricultural soil remains lacking. This review aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the environmental fate of TCs in agricultural soil. We first introduced the development history and structural features of different generations of TCs. Then, we comparatively evaluated the dissipation kinetics, transportation pathways, and ecological impacts of three representative TCs, namely tetracycline (TC), oxytetracycline (OTC), and chlortetracycline (CTC), in agricultural soil. The results showed that the dissipation kinetics of TCs generally followed the first-order kinetic model, with the median dissipation half-lives ranging from 20.0 to 38.8 days. Among the three TCs, OTC displayed the lowest dissipation rates due to its structural stability. The typical degradation pathways of TCs in soil included epimerization/isomerization, demethylation, and dehydration. Isomerization and dehydration reactions may lead to the formation of more toxic TPs, while demethylation was accompanied by the alteration of the minimal pharmacophore of TCs thus potentially reducing the toxicity. Toxicological experiments are urgently needed in future to comprehensively evaluate the ecological risks of TCs in agricultural soil.

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.

Abstract
Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), which were an important fraction of natural organic matter (NOM), played an important role in various environmental processes. However, the heterogeneity, complexity, and dynamics of EPS make their interactions with antibiotics elusive. Using advanced multispectral technology, this study examined how EPS interacts with different concentrations of tetracycline (TC) in the soil system. Our results demonstrated that protein-like (C1), fulvic-like (C2), and humic-like (C3) fractions were identified from EPS. Two-dimensional synchronous correlation spectroscopy (2D-SF-COS) indicated that the protein-like fraction gave faster responses than the fulvic-like fraction during the TC binding process. The sequence of structural changes in EPS due to TC binding was revealed by two-dimensional Fourier Transformation Infrared correlation spectroscopy (2D-FTIR-COS) as follows: 1550 > 1660 > 1395 > 1240 > 1087 cm-1. It is noteworthy that the sensitivity of the amide group to TC has been preserved, with its intensity gradually increasing to become the primary binding site for TC. The integration of hetero-2DCOS maps with moving window 2D correlation spectroscopy (MW2DCOS) provided a unique insight into understanding the correlation between EPS fractions and functional groups during the TC binding process. Moreover, molecular docking (MD) discovered that the extracellular proteins would provide plenty of binding sites with TC through salt bridges, hydrogen bonds, and π-π base-stacking forces. With these results, systematic investigations of the dynamic changes in EPS components under different concentrations of antibiotic exposure demonstrated the advanced capabilities of multispectral technology in examining intricate interactions with EPS in the soil environment.

Abstract
In this work, MIL-88A(Fe) was immobilized onto the expanded perlites to fabricate the floating MIL-88A(Fe)@expanded perlites (M@EP) catalyst via high throughput batch synthesis method under room temperature. The as-prepared M@EP could efficiently activate H2O2 to achieve 100% tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) removal under both artificial low power UV light (UVL) and real sunlight (SL) irradiation. The toxicological evaluation, growth experiment of mung beans and antimicrobial estimation revealed the decreasing aquatic toxicity of the TCs intermediates compared to those of the pristine TCs. A self-designed continuous bed reactor was employed to investigate the long-term operation of the M@EP. The findings demonstrated that the antibiotics mixture can be continuously degraded up to 7 days under UVL and 5 daytimes under SL irradiation, respectively. More importantly, ca. 76.9% and 81.6% of total organic carbon (TOC) removal efficiencies were accomplished in continuous bed reactor under UVL and SL irradiation, respectively. This work advances the immobilized MOFs on floating supports for their practical application in large-scale wastewater purification through advanced oxidation processes. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATION: This work presented the high throughput production and photo-Fenton degradation application of floating MIL-88A(Fe)@expanded perlites (M@EP). Three tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) were selected as model pollutants to test the degradation ability of M@EP in batch experiment and continuous operation under artificial light and solar light. The complete TCs degradation could be accomplished in self-designed device up to 7 d under UV light and 5 d under real solar light. This work tapped a new door to push MOFs-based functional materials in the real water purification.

Abstract
Antibiotics and microplastics (MPs), known as emerging pollutants, are bound to coexist in aquatic environments due to their widespread distribution and prolonged persistence. To date, few systematic summaries are available for the interaction between MPs and antibiotics in aquatic ecosystems, and a comprehensive reanalysis of their combined toxicity is also needed. Based on the collected published data, we have analyzed the source and distribution of MPs and antibiotics in global aquatic environments, finding their coexistence occurs in a lot of study sites. Accordingly, the presence of MPs can directly alter the environmental behavior of antibiotics. The main influencing factors of interaction between antibiotics and MPs have been summarized in terms of the characteristics of MPs and antibiotics, as well as the environmental factors. Then, we have conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the combined toxicity of antibiotics and MPs on aquatic organisms and the related toxicity indicators, suggesting a significant adverse effect on algae, and inapparent on fish and daphnia. Finally, the environmental risk assessments for antibiotics and MPs were discussed, but unfortunately the standardized methodology for the risk assessment of MPs is still challenging, let alone assessment for their combined toxicity. This review provides insights into the interactions and environment risks of antibiotics and MPs in the aquatic environment, and suggests perspectives for future research.

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.

External carbon source as a viable tool for controlling antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in effluent: Influence on antibiotic removal and ARGs dissemination. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 362:121330.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) regarded as emerging contaminants were poorly removed in conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic organics were found to be biodegraded through denitrification co-metabolism. The feasibility to enhance antibiotics removal efficiency in WWTPs through denitrification co-metabolism needs to be further verified. Meanwhile, due to significant correlation between ARGs profiles and nitrogen removal that was previously observed, the dissemination of ARGs during denitrification was worthy of in-depth understanding. Herein, the antibiotic removal and ARGs dissemination in denitrification co-metabolism condition were investigated with different denitrifying consortiums that acclimated under different conditions in terms of carbon source and the exposure of Ofloxacin (OFL). The results suggest that the removal of OFL can be enhanced by the denitrification co-metabolism. The tolerance to OFL is different among various denitrifying communities. For the denitrifying consortiums acclimated with methanol, long-term exposure to trace OFL (1 μg/L) could reduce the capabilities of removal and tolerance to OFL. On the contrary, those acclimated with sodium acetate (NaAc), the capabilities of removal and tolerance to OFL, were enhanced by long-term exposure to trace OFL. According to the quantitative determination to 384 target genes with high-throughput quantitative PCR, the abundance of ARGs in consortiums greatly increased when exposed to OFL at the concentration of comparable to sewage, which was also much larger than that acclimated with methanol. It can be confirmed and supported by DNA sequencing results that the antibiotic removal and the dissemination of ARGs were determined by microbial community that could be shaped with carbon source. These conclusions suggest that selecting the right external carbon source can be a useful strategy for WWTPs to control antibiotics and ARGs in the effluent. From a new perspective on mitigating ARGs dissemination, NaAc was not an appropriate carbon source.

Abstract
Tetracycline (TC), widely found in various environments, poses significant risks to ecosystems and human health. While efficient biodegradation removes TC, the mechanisms underlying this process have not been elucidated. This study investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying TC biosorption and transfer within the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) of strain DX-21 and its biodegradation process using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, molecular docking, and multiomics. Under TC stress, DX-21 increased TC biosorption by secreting more extracellular polysaccharides and proteins, particularly the latter, mitigating toxicity. Moreover, specialized transporter proteins with increased binding capacity facilitated TC movement from the EPS to the cell membrane and within the cell. Transcriptomic and untargeted metabolomic analyses revealed that the presence of TC led to the differential expression of 306 genes and significant alterations in 37 metabolites. Notably, genes related to key enzymes, such as electron transport, peroxidase, and oxidoreductase, exhibited significant differential expression. DX-21 combated and degraded TC by regulating metabolism, altering cell membrane permeability, enhancing oxidative defense, and enhancing energy availability. Furthermore, integrative omics analyses indicated that DX-21 degrades TC via various enzymes, reallocating resources from other biosynthetic pathways. These results advance the understanding of the metabolic responses and regulatory mechanisms of DX-21 in response to TC.

Abstract
With widespread and excessive use of antibiotics in medicine, poultry farming, and aquaculture, antibiotic residues have become a significant threat to both eco-environment and human health. In this paper, using hydroxyapatite nanowires (HApNWs) as an ecologically compatible carrier, a novel nano-hammer shaped conjunction with HApNW conjugating CuO microspheres (CuO@HApNWs) was successfully synthesized by in-situ agglomeration method. The catalytic degradation performance of the nano-hammer shaped CuO@HApNWs with Fenton-like activation was investigated by using tetracycline (TC) as a representative antibiotic pollutant. Remarkably, it exhibited excellent catalytic activity, which the removal rate of TC got to 92.0% within 40 min, and the pseudo-second-order reaction kinetic constant was 18.33 × 10-3 L mg-1·min-1, which was 26 times and 5 times than that of HApNWs and CuO, respectively. Furthermore, after recycling 6 times, the degradation efficiency of TC still remained above 85 %. Based on radical scavenger tests and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, it demonstrated that the excellent activity of CuO@HApNWs was mainly attributed to the fact that Fenton-like activation promotes the circulation of Cu2+ and Cu+, the generated main active oxygen species (•OH and O2-•) achieve efficient degradation of TC. In summary, the nano-hammer shaped CuO@HApNWs could be in-situ synthesed, and used as an eco-friendly Fenton-like catalyst for effectively catalytic degradation of organic pollutants, which has great potential for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Tetracycline exerts an inhibitory effect on anaerobic digestion, inducing stressed microbial activities and even system failure. Continuous-flow reactors (CFRs) and sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) were employed along with the dosage of powdered activated carbon (PAC) to enhance tetracycline removal during anaerobic digestion of complex organic compounds. PAC increased the maximum methane production rate by 15.6% (CFRs) and 13.8% (SBRs), and tetracycline biodegradation by 24.4% (CFRs) and 19.2% (SBRs). CFRs showed higher tetracycline removal and methane production rates than SBRs. Geobacter was enriched in CFRs, where Methanothrix was enriched with the addition of PAC. Desulfomicrobium harbored abundant propionate degradation-related genes, significantly correlating with tetracycline removal. The genes encoding carbon dioxide reduction in Methanothrix along with the detection of Geobacter might indicate direct interspecies electron transfer for methanogenesis in CFRs and PAC-added reactors. The study offers new insights into anaerobic digestion under tetracycline-stressed conditions and strategies for optimizing tetracycline removal.

Abstract
Antibiotic contamination and excessive nitrate loads are generally concurrent in aquatic ecosystems. However, little is known about the effects of nitrate input on the biodegradation of antibiotics. In this study, the effects of nitrate input on microbial degradation of erythromycin, a typical macrolide antibiotic widely detected in lake sediments, were investigated. The results showed that the nitrate input significantly inhibited the erythromycin removal and such an inhibitory effect was strengthened with the increased input dosages. Nitrate input significantly increased sediment nitrite concentration, indicating enhanced denitrification under high nitrate pressure. Bacterial network module and keystone species analysis showed that nitrate input enriched the keystone species involved in denitrification (e.g., Simplicispira and Denitratisoma). In contrast, some potential erythromycin-degrading bacteria (e.g., Desulfatiglandales, Pseudomonadales, Nitrospira) were inhibited by nitrate input. The variations in dominant bacterial groups implied competition between denitrification and erythromycin degradation in response to nitrate input. Based on the partial least squares path modeling analysis, keystone species (total effect: 0.419) and bacterial module (total effect: 0.403) showed strong association with erythromycin removal percentage. This indicated that the inhibitory effect of nitrate input on erythromycin degradation was mainly explained by bacterial network modules and keystone species. These findings will help us to assess the bioremediation potential of antibiotic-contaminated sediments suffering from excessive nitrogen discharge concurrently.

Abstract
This study enhanced our understanding of antibiotic mixtures' occurrence, transformation, toxicity, and ecological risks. The role of acid-modified biochar (BC) in treating antibiotic residues was explored, shedding light on how BC influences the fate, mobility, and environmental impact of antibiotics and transformation products (TPs) in an activated sludge (AS) microbiome. A mixture of oxytetracycline and sulfamethoxazole was found to synergistically (or additively) inhibit cell growth of AS and disrupt the microbiome structure, species richness/diversity, and function. The formation of TPs with potentially higher toxicity and persistence than the original compounds was identified, explaining the microbiome disruption. Agricultural waste-derived BC was optimized for contaminant adsorption, leading to a reduction in toxicity when added to AS by sequestering TPs on its surface. This work highlighted adsorbents as a practical engineering strategy for mitigating liquid-phase contaminants' toxicological consequences, proactively controlling the fate and effects of antibiotics and TPs.

Abstract
Since the remediation performance of soil tetracycline pollution by original biochar is not ideal, many modified methods have been proposed to improve its performance. Considering the cost, complex modification process and environmental friendliness, many modified biochar are difficult to be used in soil environments. In this work, biochar derived from corn stover was modified using phosphate to increase the adsorption ability of soil tetracycline and alleviate the negative effects caused by tetracycline. The results showed that pyrolysis temperatures and anion types of phosphate (PO43-, HPO42-, H2PO4-) played important roles in the performance of modified biochar. Compared with original biochar, phosphate modified biochar not only improved the adsorption capacity, but also changed the adsorption behavior of tetracycline. Via SEM, BET and FTIR techniques, the intrinsic reasons for the increase of adsorption capacity were explained by the change of morphological structures as well as functional groups of the modified biochar. K3PO4 and high temperature (800 °C) maximally improved the surface morphology, increased the pore structure, changed the surface functional groups of biochar, and then increased the adsorption capacity of tetracycline (124.51 mg/g). Subsequently, the optimal material (K3PO4-800) was selected and applied for tetracycline contaminated soil remediation. Compared to the soil without remediation, K3PO4-800 modified biochar effectively reduced the effective concentration of tetracycline in soil, and improved soil K and P nutrition, and reshaped microbial communities. Our study showed that K3PO4-800 modified biochar was not only a good tetracycline resistant material, but also a good soil amendment.

Abstract
The detection of residual tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) in the aquatic environment is important because of the irreversible damage of TCs to the ecosystem and human health. Considering the photostability, sensitivity, and accuracy of the detection systems, mesoporous SBA-15 silica material was an ideal support matrix for improving photostability because it can protect the optical properties of fluorescent signals. To achieve ratiometric detection (with sensitivity and accuracy), pyrene and Eu3+ as two fluorescent signals were implemented into SBA-15, and an organic-inorganic hybrid fluorescent nanoprobe Py/EDTA-SBA-15@Eu3+ was constructed. In the presence of TCs, the red emission of Eu3+ in the nanoprobe was sensitized, and the fluorescence resonance energy transfer occurred from pyrene to Eu3+, resulting in the increased emission of Eu3+ at 617 nm and the decreased emission of pyrene at 384 nm. By monitoring the fluorescent intensity changes at 617 and 384 nm (F617/F384), the nanoprobe achieved the ratiometric detection of oxytetracycline (OTC) and tetracycline (TC) in the range of 0.20-80 and 0.40-80 μM, respectively, with detection limits of 0.18 nM for OTC and 5.83 nM for TC. In addition, the practical application of the nanoprobe was validated in tap water and honey samples.

Abstract
To enhance the degradation of tetracycline class (TC) residuals of high-concentration from pharmaceutical wastewater, a novel zinc (Zn) and sulfur (S) functionalized biochar (SC-Zn), as a peroxydisulfate (PDS) activator, was prepared by two-step pyrolysis using ZnSO4 accumulated water-hyacinth. Results showed that the removal rate of 50, 150, and 250 mg per L TC reached 100%, 99.22% and 94.83% respectively, by the SC-Zn/PDS system at a dosage of 0.3 g per L SC-Zn and 1.2 mM PDS, via the deferred ultraviolet (UV) irradiation design. Such excellent performance for TC removal was due to the synergetic activation of PDS by the biochar activator and UV-irradiation with biochar as a responsive photocatalyst. The functionalization of the co-doped Zn and S endowed the biochar SC-Zn with a significantly enhanced catalytic performance, since Zn was inferred to be the dominant catalytic site for SO4˙- generation, while S played a key role in the synergism with Zn by acting as the primary adsorption site for the reaction substrates. The employed SC-Zn/PDS/UV system had excellent anti-interference under different environmental backgrounds, and compared with the removal rate of TC by adsorption of SC-Zn, the increasing rate in the SC-Zn/PDS/UV system (18.75%) was higher than the sum of the increases in the SC-Zn/PDS (9.87%) and SC-Zn/UV systems (3.34%), furtherly verifying the systematic superiority of this synergy effect. This study aimed to prepare a high-performance functionalized biochar activator and elucidate the rational design of deferred UV-irradiation of PDS activation to efficiently remove high-concentration antibiotic pollutants.

Abstract
In recent years, the presence of antibiotics in the aquatic environment has caused increasing concern for the possible consequences on human health and ecosystems, including the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. However, once antibiotics enter the environment, mainly through hospital and municipal discharges and the effluents of wastewater treatment plants, they can be subject to transformation reactions, driven by both biotic (e.g. microorganism and mammalian metabolisms) and abiotic factors (e.g. oxidation, photodegradation, and hydrolysis). The resulting transformation products (TPs) can be less or more active than their parent compounds, therefore the inclusion of TPs in monitoring programs should be mandatory. However, only the reference standards of a few known TPs are available, whereas many other TPs are still unknown, due to the high diversity of possible transformation reactions in the environment. Modern high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) instrumentation is now ready to tackle this problem through suspect and untargeted screening approaches. However, for handling the large amount of data typically encountered in the analysis of environmental samples, these approaches also require suitable processing workflows and accurate tandem mass spectra interpretation. The compilation of a suspect list containing the possible monoisotopic masses of TPs retrieved from the literature and/or from laboratory simulated degradation experiments showed unique advantages. However, the employment of in silico prediction tools could improve the identification reliability. In this review, the most recent strategies relying on liquid chromatography-HRMS for the analysis of environmental TPs of the main antibiotic classes were examined, whereas TPs formed during water treatments or disinfection were not included.

Abstract
A novel NaOH modified eggplant straw biochar supported green nanoscale zerovalent iron (P-nZVI/ESBC) composite was synthesized and its removal performance and reaction mechanism for tetracycline (TC) in water were investigated. Multiple characterizations showed that the prepared P-nZVI/ESBC composite contained oxygen-containing functional groups (hydroxyl, carbonyl, and carboxyl groups) and Fe species (nZVI and its oxides). The dosage of composite, temperature, and solution pH significantly affected the removal capacity of the P-nZVI/ESBC composite for TC. The Avrami fraction-order kinetic model and Sips adsorption isotherm model can fit well the removal process of TC by the P-nZVI/ESBC composite, indicating that the adsorption behavior of TC involved multiple adsorption mechanisms and chemical adsorption might occur. The maximum adsorption capacity of the P-nZVI/ESBC composite for TC was 304.62 mg g-1. The adsorption and reductive degradation were the dominant mechanisms of TC removal by the P-nZVI/ESBC composite. This work offers abundant information on the application of eggplant straw to manufacture biochar-based composites for the efficient removal of antibiotic contaminants from aquatic environments.

Metagenomic insights into the nitrogen metabolism, antioxidant pathway, and antibiotic resistance genes of activated sludge from a sequencing batch reactor under tetracycline stress. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 462:132788. [PMID: 37856954 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132788] [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: 06/29/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/21/2023]
Abstract
Tetracycline is prevalent in wastewater treatment plants and poses a potential threat to biological nitrogen removal under long-term exposure. In the present study, the influence of different tetracycline concentrations on the nitrogen removal, bioactivity response, and the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) was assessed in sequencing batch reactor (SBR). The nitrogen removal efficiency, nitrification rate, and denitrification rate and their corresponding enzymatic activities gradually decreased with an increase in tetracycline concentration from 0.5 to 15 mg/L. The remarkable toxicity induced by tetracycline led to a significant increase in the peroxidation and the response of antioxidant system, as evidenced by strengthened antioxidant enzymatic activity and abundant genes (SOD12, katG, PXDN, gpx, and apx). Tetracycline addition significantly inhibited the ammonia-oxidizing bacterium Nitrosomonas and functional genes (amoA, amoB, and amoC). The presence of tetracycline decreased the abundance of citrate synthase and genes (CS, IDH3, and acnA) and interfered with carbon source metabolism, leading to impaired bioactivity and treatment performance. In addition, the presence of tetracycline induces diversity and differences in ARGs. The results provide reliable basic data for a deeper understanding of the effects of tetracycline on the nitrogen removal performance of bioreactors and provide a theoretical basis to build a promising strategy for relieving antibiotic-caused process fluctuations.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 339:122728. [PMID: 37844861 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122728] [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: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 08/03/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/18/2023]
Abstract
Due to the adverse effects of long-term oxytetracycline (OTC) residues in aquatic environments, an effective treatment is urgently needed. Immobilized microbial technology has been widely explored in the treatment of various organic pollutants in aquatic environments with its excellent environmental adaptability. Nevertheless, studies on its application in the removal of antibiotics are relatively scarce and not in sufficient depth. Only a few studies have further investigated the final fate of antibiotics in the immobilized bacteria system. In this study, a novel kind of OTC-degrading bacteria Mycolicibacterium sp. was immobilized on straw biochar and magnetic biochar, respectively. Magnetic biochar was proved to be a more satisfactory immobilization carrier due to its superior property and the advantage of easy recycling. Compared with free bacteria, immobilized bacteria had stronger environmental adaptability under different OTC concentrations, pH, and heavy metal ions. After 5 cycles, immobilized bacteria could still remove 71.8% of OTC, indicating that it had a stable recyclability. Besides, OTC in real swine wastewater was completely removed by immobilized bacteria within 2 days. The results of FTIR showed that bacteria were successfully immobilized on biochar and O-H, N-H, and C-N groups might be involved in the removal of OTC. The fate analysis indicated that OTC was removed by simultaneous adsorption and biodegradation, while biodegradation (92.8%) played a dominant role in the immobilized bacteria system. Meanwhile, the amount of adsorbed OTC (7.20%) was rather small, which could effectively decrease the secondary pollution of OTC. At last, new degradation pathways of OTC were proposed. This study provides an eco-friendly and effective approach to remedy OTC pollution in wastewater.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is on an upsurge as more and more broad-spectrum antibiotics are being used haphazardly, resulting in imbalances in the ecosystem and disrupting common/systematic clinical protocols. To combat this issue, metal-organic framework embedded zinc-copper-benzenedicarboxylate@calcium alginate composite beads (Zn-Cu-BDC@CA CBs) were synthesized and utilized for the adsorption of tetracycline (TC) from water. The surface morphology, presence of functional groups, surface area, and thermal stability of Zn-Cu-BDC@CA CBs were evaluated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), respectively. Batch adsorption experiments were also carried out to optimize the adsorption performance of Zn-Cu-BDC@CA CBs for TC by adjusting the key parameters, including pH of the solution, contact time, adsorbent dosage, temperature, and initial concentration of TC. From the RSM model, 96.8% removal of TC takes place under the optimum conditions (pH = 7.3, mass = 17.2 mg, concentration = 21.3 ppm, time = 3.4 h, and temperature = 31.8 °C), which aligns closely with the experimental batch study, where the addition of 20 mg of adsorbent to a 20 mL TC solution (20 mg/L) at a pH of 7 and a temperature of 27 °C yielded an impressive TC removal efficiency of 96.55% within 180 min. Zn-Cu-BDC@CA CBs possess homogeneous adsorption surfaces, and TC is adsorbed via monolayer chemisorption, according to the results derived from the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The thermodynamic analysis indicated that the adsorption process is both endothermic and spontaneous. In their entirety, the synthesized Zn-Cu-BDC@CA CBs exhibit certain operational advantages, such as simple separation, satisfactory adsorption performance, and decent recyclability, indicating their viability for industrial application of elimination of TC residues from aquatic environments.

Abstract
Chlortetracycline (CTC), a widely used typical tetracycline antibiotic, has raised increasing concerns due to its potential health and environmental risks. Biodegradation is considered an effective method to reduce CTC in environment. In this study, a strain Aspergillus sp. LS-1, which can efficiently degrade CTC, was isolated from CTC-rich activated sludge. Under optimal conditions, the maximum removal efficiency of CTC could reach 95.41%. Temperature was the most significant factor affecting the degradation efficiency of LS-1. The 19 products were identified in the CTC degradation by strain LS-1, and three degradation pathways were proposed. All the degradation pathways for CTC exhibited ring-cleaving, which may accelerate the mineralization of CTC. To gain more comprehensive insights into this strain, we obtained the genome of LS-1, which had high GC content (50.1%) and completeness (99.3%). The gene annotation revealed that LS-1 contains some vital enzymes and resistance genes that may carry functional genes involved in the CTC degradation. In addition, other antibiotic resistance genes were found in the genome of LS-1, indicating that LS-1 has the potential to degrade other antibiotics. This study provides a more theoretical basis for the investigation of CTC degradation by fungi and new insights into the biodegradation of CTC.

Abstract
To remove ammonium and tetracycline (TC) from wastewater, a new strain, DX-21, was isolated and exhibited simultaneous removal ability. The performance of DX-21 in TC removal, its removal mechanism, and the potential toxicities of the degradation products were investigated with genomics, mass spectrometry, density functional theory calculations, quantitative structure-activity relationship analyses, and Escherichia coli exposure experiments. DX-21 exhibited removal of ammonium (9.64 mg·L-1·h-1) via assimilation, and TC removal (0.85 mg·L-1·h-1) primarily occurred through cell surface bio-adsorption and biodegradation. Among the 12 identified degradation products, the majority exhibited lower toxicities than TC. Moreover, potential degradation pathways were proposed, including hydroxylation and deamination. Furthermore, DX-21 possessed TC resistance genes, various oxygenases and peroxidases that could potentially contribute to TC degradation. DX-21 colonized activated sludge and significantly enhanced the biodegradation of TC. Therefore, DX-21 showed potential for treating wastewater containing both ammonium and TC.

Abstract
The response performances of the crystalline organic fluorescence probe are highly dependent on the long-range ordered arrangement of crystalline structure. Herein, a novel organic crystalline fluorescent probe with a high quantum yield was established through the rapid self-assembly of 1,2,4,5-Tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) benzene (H4TCPB) and DMF molecules. Each H4TCPB, which connects to four DMF molecules through hydrogen bonds, acts as the structural unit. The building units are packed by π-π, lone pair···π, and lone pair···lone pair interactions to form solid-state crystalline materials. H4TCPB·4DMF exhibits distinct blue fluorescent under UV light, while the quantum yield is as high as 89.02% and the fluorescence lifetime is 1.95 ns. The H4TCPB·4DMF nanocrystal exhibits a specific fluorescence quench sensibility to tetracycline (TC), compared with the common chemicals and ions in environmental water. Moreover, the test results can be obtained quickly and are easily visible to the naked eye. The limit of detection for TC is as low as 12 nM in an aqueous solution. Spectral analysis and density functional theory (DFT) theoretical calculations were used to explain the fluorescence quenching mechanism of H4TCPB·4DMF toward TC, which could be attributed to the photoinduced electron transfer occurring from H4TCPB·4DMF to TC. Our work enriches the database of crystalline luminescent materials and provides theoretical support for the design and mechanical studies of organic fluorescent probes.

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
The over-reliance on tetracycline antibiotics (TC) in the animal husbandry and medical field has seriously affected the safety of the ecological environment. Therefore, how to effectively treat tetracycline wastewater has always been a long-term global challenge. Here, we developed a novel polyethyleneimine (PEI)/Zn-La layered double hydroxides (LDH)/cellulose acetate (CA) beads with cellular interconnected channels to strengthen the TC removal. The results of the exploration on its adsorption properties illustrated that the adsorption process exhibited a favorable correlation with the Langmuir model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, namely monolayer chemisorption. Among the many candidates, the maximum adsorption capacity of TC by 10 %PEI-0.8LDH/CA beads was 316.76 mg/g. Apart from that, the effects of pH, interfering species, actual water matrix and recycling on the adsorption of TC by PEI-LDH/CA beads were also analyzed to verify their superior removal capability. The potential for industrial-scale applications was expanded through fixed-bed column experiments. The proven adsorption mechanisms mainly included electrostatic interaction, complexation, hydrogen bonding, n-π EDA effect and cation-π interaction. The self-floating high-performance PEI-LDH/CA beads exploited in this work provided fundamental support for the practical application of antibiotic-based wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Due to their widespread occurrence and the inadequate removal efficiencies by conventional wastewater treatment plants, emerging contaminants (ECs) have recently become an issue of great concern. Current ongoing studies have focused on different physical, chemical, and biological methods as strategies to avoid exposing ecosystems to significant long-term risks. Among the different proposed technologies, the enzyme-based processes rise as green biocatalysts with higher efficiency yields and lower generation of toxic by-products. Oxidoreductases and hydrolases are among the most prominent enzymes applied for bioremediation processes. The present work overviews the state of the art of recent advances in enzymatic processes during wastewater treatment of EC, focusing on recent innovations in terms of applied immobilization techniques, genetic engineering tools, and the advent of nanozymes. Future trends in the enzymes immobilization techniques for EC removal were highlighted. Research gaps and recommendations on methods and utility of enzymatic treatment incorporation in conventional wastewater treatment plants were also discussed.

Efficient degradation of tetracycline residues in pharmaceutical wastewater by Ni/Fe bimetallic atomic cluster composite catalysts with enhanced electron transfer pathway. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 335:139181.

Abstract
Metal cluster catalysts have large atomic load, interaction between atomic sites, and wide application of catalysis. In this study, a Ni/Fe bimetallic cluster material was prepared by a simple hydrothermal method and used as an efficient catalyst to activate the degradation system of peroxymonosulfate (PMS), which showed nearly 100% tetracycline (TC) degradation performance over a wide pH range (pH = 3-11). The results of electron paramagnetic resonance test, quenching experiment and density functional theory (DFT) calculation show that the non-free radical pathway electron transfer efficiency of the catalytic system is effectively improved, and a large number of PMS are captured and activated by high density Ni atomic clusters in Ni/Fe bimetallic clusters. The degradation intermediates identified by LC/MS showed that TC was efficiently degraded into small molecules. In addition, the Ni/Fe bimetallic cluster/PMS system has excellent efficiency for degrading various organic pollutants and practical pharmaceutical wastewater. This work opens up a new way for metal atom cluster catalysts to efficiently catalyze the degradation of organic pollutants in PMS systems.

Novel ZIF-67-derived Co@CNTs nanocomposites as effective adsorbents for removal of tetracycline and sulfadiazine antibiotics. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 225:115516. [PMID: 36805897 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.115516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Revised: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Tetracycline (TCC) and sulfadiazine (SDZ) are two of the most consumed antibiotics for human therapies and bacterial infection treatments in aquafarming fields, but their accumulative residues can result in negative effects on water and aquatic microorganisms. Removal techniques are therefore required to purify water before use. Herein, we concentrate on adsorptive removal of TCC and SDZ using cobalt@carbon nanotubes (Co@CNTs) derived from Co-ZIF-67. The presence of CNTs on the edge of nanocomposites was observed. Taguchi orthogonal array was designed with four variables including initial concentration (5-20 mg L-1), dosage (0.05-0.2 g L-1), time (60-240 min), and pH (2-10). Concentration and pH were found to be main contributors to adsorption of tetracycline and sulfadiazine, respectively. The optimum condition was found at concentration 5 mg L-1, dosage 0.2 g L-1, contact time 240 min, and pH 7 for both TCC and SDZ removals. Confirmation tests showed that Co@CNTs-700 removed 99.6% of TCC and 97.3% of SDZ with small errors (3-5.5%). Moreover, the kinetic and isotherm were studied, which kinetic and isotherm data were best fitted with pseudo second-order model and Langmuir. Maximum adsorption capacity values for TCC and SDZ were determined at 118.4-174.1 mg g-1 for 180 min. We also proposed the main role of interactions such as hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, and electrostatic attraction in the adsorption of antibiotics. With high adsorption performance, Co@CNTs-700 is expected to remove antibiotics efficiently from wastewater.

Abstract
Long-term exposure of antibiotics at low level leads to the accumulation of antibiotics in environmental media and organisms, inducing the formation of antibiotic resistance genes. Seawater is an important sink for many contaminants. Here, laccase from Aspergillus sp. And mediators that follow different oxidation mechanisms were combined to degrade tetracyclines (TCs) at environmentally relevant levels (ng·L-1-μg·L-1) in coastal seawater. The high salinity and alkaline of seawater changed the enzymatic structure of laccase, resulting in a reduced affinity of laccase to the substrate in seawater (Km of 0.0556 mmol L-1) than that in buffer (Km of 0.0181 mmol L-1). Although the stability and activity of the laccase decreased in seawater, laccase at a concentration of 200 U·L-1 with a laccase/syringaldehyde (SA) ratio of 1 U: 1 μmol could completely degrade TCs in seawater at initial concentrations of less than 2 μg L-1 in 2 h. Molecular docking simulation showed that the interaction between TCs and laccase mainly includes hydrogen bond interaction and hydrophobic interaction. TCs were degraded into small molecular products through a series of reactions: demethylation, deamination, deamidation, dehydration, hydroxylation, oxidation, and ring-opening. Prediction of the toxicity of intermediates showed that the majority of TCs can be degraded into low-toxic or non-toxic, small-molecule products within 1 h, indicating that the degradation process of TCs by a laccase-SA system has good ecological safety. The successful removal of TCs by the laccase-SA system demonstrates its potential for the elimination of pollutants in marine environment.

Abstract
Wood is a natural material with low cost and easy recovery, which porous, layered, excellent structure and mechanical properties make it possible to apply in wastewater treatment. We have successfully grown MoS2 on natural wood containing porous cellulose and introduced the high conductivity circuit path provided by Ni nanoparticles to construct a new piezoelectric three-dimensional wood block for the efficient degradation of tetracycline. Ni/MoS2/Wood exhibited excellent piezo-catalytic degradation performance, and the degradation rate of tetracycline reached 95.96 % (k = 0.0411 min-1) under ultrasonic vibration. After 5 cycles, the degradation rate still reached 90.20 %. In addition, Ni/MoS2/Wood was used as the reactor filler to degrade tetracycline through piezoelectric response triggered by hydrodynamic force, and the degradation rate reached 90.27 % after 60 min. Further, the mechanism and the possible degradation pathways of tetracycline degradation were proposed. This low-cost, recyclable and stable three-dimensional wood block piezoelectric material provides a new idea for the practical application of wastewater treatment.

Abstract
This study explores a simple and efficient, physically modified ball-milled activated carbon (ACBM) preparation from granular activated carbon (GAC), which can be demonstrated for groundwater application. The colloidal stability of the ACBM plays a vital role in the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and the degradation of pollutants. Adsorption kinetics and isotherm studies explain that the ACBM has more active sites and maximum adsorption capacity (qmax = 509 mg g-1) on the surface of the materials than GAC. The 92% of ibuprofen degradation was achieved at 240 min along with 0.1 g L-1 of ACBM, 5 mM of PMS, and 6.3 of initial solution pH. A chemical scavenger and electron spin resonance spectra also confirmed the formation of reactive oxygen species such as radicals (O2•-, HO•, SO4•-) and non-radical (1O2) in the ACBM/PMS system. Three major degradation pathways, hydroxylation, demethylation, and decarboxylation involved in ibuprofen degradation. Nearly 13 degradation by-products were detected during the ACBM/PMS oxidation of ibuprofen. The toxicity analysis of oxidation by-products of ibuprofen was also discussed by computational simulation employing the ecological structure-activity relationships software. The ACBM/PMS system was successfully applied to the natural groundwater system for ibuprofen degradation. Hence, the ACBM/PMS system is an excellent catalyst for real groundwater applications.

Abstract
The widespread presence of tetracyclines in the environment has raised concerns about the potential risks to ecosystems and human health. The ratiometric fluorescence sensor for detecting tetracyclines was developed using europium-doped carbon dots (Eu-CDs) as probes under alkaline conditions. The sensing mechanism of sensor for tetracyclines was considered as inner filter effect (IFE), antenna effect (AE), and self-quenching effect (SQE). The sensor had a wide linear detection range than the reported europium ions-based tetracyclines sensors. The linear detection ranges of oxytetracycline (OTC), tetracycline (TC), doxycycline (DC) and chlorotetracycline (CTC) were respectively 0.00-603.75 μM, 0.00-623.82 μM, 0.00-594.61 μM and 0.00-601.54 μM, and the corresponding detection limits were respectively 9.50 nM, 15.80 nM, 10.40 nM and 90.30 nM. The smartphone with RGB Color Picker was further employed to analyze the concentration of tetracyclines, which provided a new method for visual tetracyclines detection. The application of Eu-CDs test paper was also explored, and the results showed that the Eu-CDs test paper has great potential application in the visual detection of tetracyclines. In addition, the accuracy of the established tetracyclines sensor was compared with that of the China national standard method by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the results showed that the established method in this work has similar accuracy to the China national standard method. The sensor has been employed to detect tetracyclines in the actual samples with satisfactory results, which indicated that this method has promising applications in the real-time monitoring tetracyclines of food and environment.

Abstract
Abstract
In this work, we developed a facile method for photocatalytic deposition of cobalt atoms as co-catalyst on TiO2 nanosheets (Co(x)/T) under visible light instead of UV irradiation for the first time. The deposition of cobalt atoms on TNs in the Co(x)/T samples was confirmed by DRS, Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence, nitrogen physisorption, and TEM analyses. The size of cobalt nanoparticles/cluster dispersed on the TiO2 nanosheets were in the range of 5–20 nm according to TEM results. The PXRD patterns showed that the crystal structure and the anatase phase of TNs were preserved in the Co(x)/T samples after the visible light-assisted deposition process. The Co(x)/T samples showed higher activity compared to pure TiO2 nanosheets for the visible light degradation of tetracycline (TC) as pharmaceutical pollutant due to presence of cobalt co-catalyst. We studied the effect of several parameters on the degradation process and proposed the mechanism of degradation according to quenching experiments results. Due to time-consuming and costly of experimental works, we designed two strong artificial intelligence (AI) models (artificial neural networks (ANN) and neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS)) to estimate the removal process of TC, and predict the removal percent of TC for new values of inputs before performing experiment. The experimental and computational studies showed that the fabricated photocatalysts are as promising candidates for industrial wastewater treatment to meet environmental regulations and provide a new avenue for practical implications.

Abstract
The presence of antibiotics in the environment causes increasing attention due to their potential risks to ecosystems and public health. Laccases are versatile oxidases capable of degrading various organic contaminants including pharmaceuticals. However, the performance of bacterial laccases on tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) degradation is seldom investigated. In this work, a bacterial laccase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was immobilized as laccase-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers (Lac-hNFs) by a facile and rapid method. The immobilized laccase was employed to remove different TCs including tigecycline, which is a third-generation TC that its degradation by laccase has not been reported. Lac-hNFs were synthesized by sonication-mediated self-assembly of laccase and copper ions in 5 min at room temperature. About 95% of laccase could be encapsulated in the nanoflowers, and the obtained Lac-hNFs exhibited great enhancement in stability under harsh conditions. The immobilized laccase showed a half-life of 11.7 h at 60 °C, which was about 1.4-fold higher than that of the free enzyme. Meanwhile, Lac-hNFs retained 81% of the initial activity after incubation at 25 °C for 10 days. The laccase in combination with acetosyringone could efficiently decompose tetracycline, doxycycline, and tigecycline. More than 79% of the three TCs were transformed in 1 h. Compared with the free enzyme, Lac-hNFs demonstrated higher capacity in the removal of TCs. Furthermore, Lac-hNFs remained their high degradation capacity after five cycles of reuse. Bacterial growth inhibition test revealed that most of the toxicity of TCs was eliminated after Lac-hNFs treatment. The main transformation products were identified by LC-MS, and the possible degradation pathways were proposed. The interaction mechanism between laccase and TCs was also analyzed using molecular docking. This work provides an efficient way to remove toxic organic pollutants.

Abstract
Contamination of antibiotics in an aqueous environment has attracted wide attention. Developing high-efficiency adsorbents for antibiotics removal is urgent. In this work, two kinds of ternary transition metal chalcogenides—Cu2MoS4 and FeMoS4 with superior adsorption performance were prepared by a facile hydrothermal synthesis method. The microstructure and physicochemical properties of the adsorbents were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The as-prepared Cu2MoS4 and FeMoS4 were found to have dramatic potential for the adsorption of chlortetracycline (CTC) in an aqueous solution with an extremely high adsorption capacity. The Langmuir maximum adsorption capacity of Cu2MoS4 and FeMoS4 to CTC can reach 1203.81 and 2169.19 mg/g, respectively, which goes far beyond the common adsorbents as reported. Moreover, the adsorption kinetics, thermodynamics as well as adsorption mechanism were examined in detail by a batch of adsorption experiments.

Abstract
Antibiotic mixtures in the environment result in the development of bacterial strains with resistance against multiple antibiotics. Oxidases are versatile that can bio-remove antibiotics. Various laccases (LACs), manganese peroxidases (MNPs), and versatile peroxidase (VP) were reconstructed in Pichia pastoris. For the single antibiotics, over 95.0% sulfamethoxazole within 48 h, tetracycline, oxytetracycline, and norfloxacin within 96 h were bio-removed by recombinant VP with α-signal peptide, respectively. In a mixture of the four antibiotics, 80.2% tetracycline and 95.6% oxytetracycline were bio-removed by recombinant MNP2 with native signal peptide (NSP) within 8 h, whereas < 80.0% sulfamethoxazole was bio-removed within 72 h, indicating that signal peptides significantly impacted removal efficiencies of antibiotic mixtures. Regarding mediators for LACs, 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) resulted in better removal efficiencies of multi-antibiotic mixtures than 1-hydroxybenzotriazole or syringaldehyde. Furthermore, artificial microbial consortia (AMC) producing LAC2 and MNP2 with NSP significantly improved bio-removal efficiency of sulfamethoxazole (95.5%) in four-antibiotic mixtures within 48 h. Tetracycline and oxytetracycline were completely bio-removed by AMC within 48 and 72 h, respectively, indicating that AMC accelerated sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline, and oxytetracycline bio-removals. Additionally, transformation pathways of each antibiotic by recombinant oxidases were proposed. Taken together, this work provides a new strategy to simultaneously remove antibiotic mixtures by AMC.

Abstract
A quantitative and qualitative method using a high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC–MS/MS) detection approach was developed and validated for the analysis of tigecycline, four tetracyclines and their three 4-epimer derivatives in chicken muscle. Samples were extracted repeatedly with 0.1 mol/L Na2EDTA–McIlvaine buffer solution. After vortexing, centrifugation, solid-phase extraction, evaporation and reconstitution, the aliquots were separated using a C8 reversed-phase column (50 mm × 2.1 mm, 5 µm) with a binary solvent system consisting of methanol and 0.01 mol/L trichloroacetic acid aqueous solution. The typical validation parameters were evaluated in accordance with the acceptance criteria detailed in the guidelines of the EU Commission Decision 2002/657/EC and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Bioanalytical Method Validation 05/24/18. The matrix-matched calibration curve was linear over the concentration range from the limit of quantitation (LOQ) to 400 μg/kg for doxycycline, and the calibration graphs for tetracycline, chlortetracycline, oxytetracycline, their 4-epimer derivatives and tigecycline showed a good linear relationship within the concentration range from the LOQ to 200 μg/kg. The limits of detection (LODs) for the eight targets were in the range of 0.06 to 0.09 μg/kg, and the recoveries from the fortified blank samples were in the range of 89% to 98%. The within-run precision and between-run precision, which were expressed as the relative standard deviations, were less than 5.0% and 6.9%, respectively. The applicability was successfully demonstrated through the determination of residues in 72 commercial chicken samples purchased from different sources. This approach provides a novel option for the detection of residues in animal-derived food safety monitoring.

Abstract
The coexistence of multiple pollutants has become a distinctive feature of water pollution. However, there are a few strains that can remove nitrate and tetracycline (TC). Here, the efficiency of strain XS-18 in removing nitrate and TC was analyzed, and the mechanism of tolerance and removal of TC was investigated by infrared spectroscopy, three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy, and genome analysis. XS-18 could efficiently remove TC (0.40 mg·L-1·h-1) at pH 7.0-11.0 with auto-aggregation. TC was removed via extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) (55.90%) and cell surface (44.10%) adsorption. TC (10 mg/L) could stimulate XS-18 to secrete more polysaccharides and hydrophobic proteins to improve its auto-aggregation ability. The findings also confirmed that TC resistance genes were present. Furthermore, the bacterial flagellum, signal transduction of the chemotactic system and regulatory genes were shown to be related to the auto-aggregation of the strain. XS-18 has potential applications in the treatment of wastewater containing nitrate and TC.

Abstract
Antibiotics are used extensively throughout the world and their presence in the environment has caused serious pollution. This review summarizes natural methods and enhanced technologies that have been developed for antibiotic degradation. In the natural environment, antibiotics can be degraded by photolysis, hydrolysis, and biodegradation, but the rate and extent of degradation are limited. Recently, developed enhanced techniques utilize biological, chemical, or physicochemical principles for antibiotic removal. These techniques include traditional biological methods, adsorption methods, membrane treatment, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), constructed wetlands (CWs), microalgae treatment, and microbial electrochemical systems (such as microbial fuel cells, MFCs). These techniques have both advantages and disadvantages and, to overcome disadvantages associated with individual techniques, hybrid techniques have been developed and have shown significant potential for antibiotic removal. Hybrids include combinations of the electrochemical method with AOPs, CWs with MFCs, microalgal treatment with activated sludge, and AOPs with MFCs. Considering the complexity of antibiotic pollution and the characteristics of currently used removal technologies, it is apparent that hybrid methods are better choices for dealing with antibiotic contaminants.

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
Antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in sewage sludge can cause high ecotoxicological risks in the environment and public health concerns. The aims of this study were to establish enzymatic integrated in-situ advanced anaerobic digestion (AAD) by adding cellulase and papain as well as the two enzymes combined with zero valent iron (ZVI) directly into the anaerobic digesters to explore the removal of antibiotics and ARGs under the mesophilic condition (35 °C). The methane production potential during in-situ AAD was effectively improved. Papain and cellulase at 30 mg/gTSS were most effective in improving antibiotic removal. The removal of sulfamerazine (SMZ) and sulfadiazine (SMR) could reach 89.10 % and 71.75 %. Combined enzymes with ZVI also enhanced the removal of all target antibiotics, especially roxithromycin (ROX), SMZ and SMR most significantly. Except for sul1, tetA and tetB, the removal of ARGs by papain reached 6.33 %-82.15 %. The addition of cellulase effectively improved tetA removal. The combination of biological enzymes further enhanced the removal of qnrS and ermX. The tetG, tetB, sul3, ermX, ermT, qnrS, and aac(6')-IB-CR by combined enzymes with ZVI could even not be detected after digestion. Addition of papain, cellulase, and ZVI caused variations in the dominant bacteria. All target antibiotics presented significant positive correlations with the genera norank_f__Bacteroidetes_vadinHA17, norank_f__norank_o__SJA-15, norank_f__norank_o__Aminicenantales. Redundancy analysis showed archaea Methanosaeta and Candidatus_ Methanoacidiosum genera greatly contributed to antibiotics removal with the combination of enzymes and ZVI. Co-occurrence network analysis indicated the removal of ARGs was mainly based on the changes of existence of host bacteria.

Abstract
Soils containing both veterinary antibiotics (VAs) and heavy metals necessitate effective remediation approaches, and microbial and molecular levels of the results should be further examined. Here, a novel material combining waste fungus chaff-based biochar (WFCB) and Herbaspirillum huttiense (HHS1) was established to immobilize copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) and degrade oxytetracycline (OTC) and enrofloxacin (ENR). Results showed that the combined material exhibited high immobilization of Cu (85.5%) and Zn (64.4%) and great removals of OTC (41.9%) and ENR (40.7%). Resistance genes including tet(PB), tetH, tetR, tetS, tetT, tetM, aacA/aphD, aacC, aadA9, and czcA were reduced. Abundances of potential hosts of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) including phylum Proteobacteria and genera Brevundimonas and Rhodanobacter were altered. Total phosphorus and pH were the factors driving the VA degrading microorganisms and potential hosts of ARGs. The combination of WFCB and HHS1 can serve as an important bioresource for immobilizing heavy metals and removing VAs in the contaminated soil.
