Abstract
In this work, a simple, convenient and cost-effective colorimetric aptasensor was successfully constructed for the detection of antibiotic residues in raw milk based on the property that aptamer (Apt) synergistically enhances the catalase-like activity of MOF-235. Under optimised conditions, the proposed colorimetric aptasensor exhibited a wide detection range (15-1500 nM) with a low detection limit (6.92 nM). Furthermore, the proposed aptasensor demonstrated high selectivity, good resistance to interference and storage stability. The proposed aptasensor was validated by spiking recovery in camel milk, cow milk and goat milk with satisfactory recoveries, which demonstrated the great potential of the aptasensor for further application in real food samples, and also suggested that MOF-235 can be used as a potential universal platform to build a sensitive detection platform for other targets.

Abstract
As a typical kind of new pollutants, there are still some challenges in the rapid detection of antibiotics. In this work, a sensitive fluorescent probe based on boron-doped carbon dots (B-CDs) in combination with thermo-responsive magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (T-MMIPs) was constructed for the detection of oxytetracycline (OTC) in tea drinks. T-MMIPs were designed, fabricated and employed to enrich OTC at trace level from tea drinks, and B-CDs were utilized as the fluorescent probe to detect the concentration of OTC. The proposed method exhibited good linear relationship with OTC concentration from 0.2 to 60 μg L-1 and the limit of detection was 0.1 μg L-1. The established method has been successfully validated with tea beverages. Present work was the first attempt application of T-MMIPs in combination with CDs in detection of OTC, and demonstrated that the proposed method endowed the detection of OTC with high selectivity, sensitivity, reliability and wide application prospect, meanwhile offered a new strategy for the method establishment of rapid and sensitive detection of trace antibiotics in food and other matrices.

Abstract
A unique luminescent lanthanide metal-organic framework (LnMOF)-based fluorescence detection platform was utilized to achieve sensitive detection of vomitoxin (VT) and oxytetracycline hydrochloride (OTC-HCL) without the use of antibodies or biomolecular modifications. The sensor had a fluorescence quenching constant of 9.74 × 106 M-1 and a low detection limit of 0.68 nM for vomitoxin. Notably, this is the first example of a Tb-MOF sensor for fluorescence detection of vomitoxin. We further investigated its response to two mycotoxins, aflatoxin B1 and ochratoxin A, and found that their Stern-Volmer fluorescence quenching constants were lower than those of VT. In addition, the fluorescence sensor realized sensitive detection of OTC-HCL with a detection limit of 0.039 μM. In conclusion, the method has great potential as a sensitive and simple technique to detect VT and OTC-HCL in water.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were promising adsorbents for removing antibiotics, but the inherent poor recyclability of MOF powders limits further application. Moreover, the dominant adsorption mechanisms and their quantitative assessment are less studied. Here, ultrahigh adsorption capacities of 821.51 and 931.87 mg g-1 for tetracycline (TC) and oxytetracycline (OTC), respectively, were realised by a novel adsorbents (biochar loaded with MIL-88B(Fe), denoted as BC@MIL-88B(Fe)), which were further immobilised in a 3D porous gelatin (GA) substrate. The obtained BCM/GA200 showed superior adsorption performance under wide pH ranges and under the interference of humic acid. Moreover, it can survive >8 cycles and even maintain high adsorption efficiency in different actual water samples. Notably, BCM/GA200 can selectively remove tetracyclines in a multivariate system containing other kinds of antibiotics and from a dynamic adsorption system. Most importantly, the results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, 2D Fourier transform infrared correlation spectroscopy (2D-FTIR-COS) and density functional theory techniques revealed that (1) for TC adsorption, at pH < 4.0, the contribution of complexation was 25 %-45 %, whereas pore filling and hydrogen bonding accounted for 39 %-72 % of the total uptake. At 4.0 < pH < 10.0, the contribution of complexation increased to 60 %-82 %, whereas electrostatic attraction and π-π interaction were 4 %-13 % and 2 %-10 %, respectively. (2) For OTC adsorption, complexation was dominant at 3.0 < pH < 10.0, accounting for 55 %-86 % of the total uptake, and electrostatic attraction and π-π interactions caused 3 %-10 % and 3 %-15 %, respectively. (3) At pH > 10.0, pore filling dominated TC and OTC adsorption. Finally, the reaction sequences of the main adsorption mechanisms were also probed by 2D-FTIR-COS. This work solves the poor recyclability of MOF powders and provides a mechanistic insight into antibiotic removal by MOFs.

Abstract
A metal-organic framework (MOF) is a good carrier for molecular imprinting due to its high surface area and strong adsorption capacity, but its poor dispersibility in aqueous solution is one of the significant drawbacks, which can severely impede its effectiveness. Amphiphilic block copolymers are good hydrophilic materials and have the potential to overcome the shortcomings of MOFs. In order to improve the hydrophilicity of molecularly imprinted fluorescent materials, we have applied a combination of molecularly imprinted technology and amphiphilic block copolymers on MOFs for the first time. Amphiphilic PAVE copolymer is selected as the molecular imprinted functional monomer to improve the hydrophilicity of UiO-66-NH2. The synthesized PAVE-MOF-MIP has adequate water dispersion ability and fluorescence activity. When encountering oxytetracycline, PAVE-MOF-MIP will produce fluorescence quenching, it is used to construct a fluorescence detection platform for oxytetracycline detection. Compared with traditional MIP@MOF, PAVE-MOF-MIP has better water dispersion ability and detection accuracy. Under optimal conditions, the linear range of oxytetracycline detection is 10-100 μmol L-1, and the minimum limit of detection (LOD) is 86 nmol L-1. This paper proposes a novel approach to use amphiphilic block copolymers as molecularly imprinted monomers on MOFs, providing an innovative idea that has not been previously explored.

Abstract
Molecular docking (MD) analysis is currently the most commonly used theoretical simulation method to investigate the interaction of aptamers (receptors) and small molecules (ligands) and understand the recognition mechanism between them at a molecular level. Using the specific aptamers of tetracycline antibiotics (tetracycline (TET), oxytetracycline (OTC), doxycycline (DOC)) as the docking models, three steady-state aptamers of tertiary structures (SATS) were established for each aptamer with the UNAFold and RNAComposer tools. The binding free energy (BFE), docking score (DS), and binding site (base) of the specific ligands (TET, OTC, and DOC) with their respective SATS were obtained by molecular docking. The results revealed one or more binding sites in the established SATS of the aptamers. The BFE and DS of different binding sites of one specific SATS varied significantly. The results also revealed that the site with the highest BFE represented the most dominant binding site, even if it was not the SATS with minimum energy. The BFE values could also be used to evaluate the affinity and specificity of the aptamer to its target. For the first time, this study proposes a method for MD analysis of the aptamer and its target based on different SATS, clarification of the binding mode, and prediction of the binding sites (bases). This study provides a theoretical basis for tailoring; structural optimization; and base modification of aptamers; identifying aptamers with high affinity and specificity.

Abstract
The sorption of antibiotics on soil minerals and their cotransport have been widely studied for the past few years; however, these processes in concentrated salt solutions (estuary-like conditions) are not fully understood. This study aims to determine the possible sorption of oxytetracycline (OTC) on various natural and synthesized microsized minerals (including haematite, goethite, kaolinite, bentonite, lateritic, kaolinitic and illitic soil clays) under conditions mimicking pure, fresh, brackish and sea waters. The sorption of OTC was found to decrease in surface charge (herein zeta potential), hence altering the colloidal properties of the materials used. The sorption capacities of soil clays for OTC follow the inequality illitic soil clay > kaolinitic soil clay > lateritic soil clay, and the sorption capacities were found to decrease at higher salt concentrations. Seawater can intensify the release of the sorbed OTC from soil clay surfaces while favouring the coaggregation of the remaining OTC with soil clays. This implies that the long-range transport of OTC or other similar antibiotics can be governed by the mineralogical composition/properties of the suspended particles. More importantly, increasing salt concentrations in estuaries may form a chemical barrier at which limited amounts of OTC/antibiotics can pass through, while the remaining OTC/antibiotics can be favoured to aggregate simultaneously with suspended mineral particles.

Abstract
In marine sediments surrounding salmon aquaculture sites, organic matter (OM) enrichment has been shown to influence resident bacterial community composition; however, additional effects on these communities due to combined use of the sea-lice therapeutant emamectin benzoate (EMB) and the widely used antibiotic oxytetracycline (OTC) are unknown. Here, we use sediment microcosms to assess the influence of OM, EMB, and OTC on benthic bacterial communities. Microcosms consisted of mud or sand sediments enriched with OM (fish and feed wastes) and spiked with EMB and OTC at environmentally-relevant concentrations. Samples were collected from initial matrices at the initiation of the trial and after 110 days for 16 S rRNA gene sequencing of the V3-V4 region and microbiome profiling. The addition of OM in both mud and sand sediments reduced alpha diversities; for example, an average of 1106 amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) were detected in mud with no OM addition, while only 729 and 596 ASVs were detected in mud with low OM and high OM, respectively. Sediments enriched with OM had higher relative abundances of Spirochaetota, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidota. For instance, Spirochaetota were detected in sediments with no OM with a relative abundance range of 0.01-1.2%, while in sediments enriched with OM relative abundance varied from 0.16% to 26.1%. In contrast, the addition of EMB (60 ng/g) or OTC (150 ng/g) did not result in distinct taxonomic shifts in the bacterial communities compared to un-spiked sediments during the timeline of this experiment. EMB and OTC concentrations may have been below effective inhibitor concentrations for taxa in these communities; further work should explore gene content and the presence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in sediment-dwelling bacteria.

Abstract
The efficient and selective removal of refractory antibiotics from high-strength antibiotic production wastewater is crucial but remains a substantial challenge. In this study, a novel ozone micronano-bubble (MNB)-enhanced treatment system was constructed for antibiotic production wastewater treatment. Compared with conventional ozone, ozone MNBs exhibit excellent treatment efficiency for oxytetracycline (OTC) degradation and toxicity decrease. Notably, this study identifies the overlooked singlet oxygen (1O2) for the first time as a crucial active species in the ozone MNB system through probe and electron paramagnetic resonance methods. Subsequently, the oxidation mechanisms of OTC by ozone MNBs are systematically investigated. Owing to the high reactivity of OTC toward 1O2, ozone MNBs enhance the selective and anti-interference performance of OTC degradation in raw OTC production wastewater with complex matrixes. This study provides insights into the mechanism of ozone MNB-enhanced pollutant degradation and a new perspective for the efficient treatment of high-concentration industrial wastewater using ozone MNBs. In addition, this study presents a promising technology with scientific guidance for the treatment of antibiotic production wastewater.

Abstract
Copper (Cu) and tetracyclines (TCs) often coexist in agricultural soils because of the use of manures on farmland; however, the influence of Cu on the bioavailability of TCs is still unclear, especially for cases with aging Cu. The freely dissolved concentrations (FDCs) of TCs are believed to be directly related to their bioavailability. In the present study, the FDCs of TCs were determined using organic-diffusive gradients in thin films (o-DGT), and the influence of Cu on the FDCs of TCs in soils was evaluated. The results showed that the FDCs of tetracycline (TC), oxytetracycline (OTC), and chlortetracycline (CTC) were 0.11-0.93, 0.28-1.02, and 0.24-0.53 μg/kg in the CK groups (no Cu added) and accounted for 0.09-0.58, 0.10-1.40, and 0.05-1.19‰ of their total concentrations which ranged from 0.2 to 10.0 mg/kg for TC, OTC, and CTC, respectively. The co-contamination of Cu reduced the FDCs of TCs in most cases, and aging increased the influence of Cu. The presence of Cu resulted in a decrease in the TC FDC by 35.48-95.04% in aged soils and 3.42-87.19% in newly prepared soils. FTIR analysis revealed that aging facilitated the bonding of Cu to soil particles via Cu-O, and Cu bonded to groups such as hydroxyl groups (-OH) in TCs. Our results suggested that the presence of Cu might reduce the bioavailability of TCs, and aging would enhance these effects. This is helpful for the bioavailability analysis of TCs under co-contamination of heavy metals.

Abstract
Co-existence of antibiotics (ABX) in soil may expand the environmental harm of pesticide pollution. Our study investigated the combined effects of five antibiotics chlortetracycline (CTC), oxytetracycline (OTC), tetracycline (TC), sulfamethoxazole (SMX), enrofloxacin (ENR) on enantioselective fate of zoxamide (ZXM) and soil health. The results showed that S-(+)-ZXM preferentially dissipated in soil. ABX prolonged dissipation half-life and reduced enantioselectivity of ZXM. Soil was detected to be more acidic after long-term treatment of ZXM and ABX. Lowest soil available N, P, K were found in ZXM + SMX, ZXM + OTC and ZXM + SMX groups at 80 days, respectively. ABX had demonstrated effective promotion of catalase (S-CAT), urease (S-UE) and negative impact on dehydrogenase (S-DHA), sucrase (S-SC) activities. Bacteria Lysobacter, Sphingomonas and fungus Mortierella were identified as the most dominant genera, which possessed as potential microbial resources for removal of composite pollution from ZXM and ABX. SMX and TC, SMX, ENR, respectively, contributed to the alteration of bacteria and fungi community abundance. Soil acidity, available N and enzyme activity showed stronger correlations with bacteria and fungi compared to other environmental factors. Our findings highlighted the interactions between ZXM and ABX from the perspective of soil microenvironment changes. Moreover, a theoretical basis for the mechanism was actively provided.

Abstract
The efficient remediation of antibiotic-contaminated soil is critical for agroecosystem and human health. Using the cost-effective and feedstock-independent hydrochar with rich oxygen-containing functional groups as a soil remediation material has become a hot concern nowadays. However, the feasibility and effectiveness of hydrochar amendment in antibiotic-contaminated soil still remain unknown. Therefore, this study investigated the remediation effect and potential mechanisms of different hydrochars from cow manure (H-CM), corn stalk (H-CS) and Myriophyllum aquaticum (H-MA) at two levels (0.5% and 1.0%) in oxytetracycline (OTC)-contaminated soil using a pot experiment. Results showed that compared with CK, OTC content in the soils amended with H-CM and H-MA was decreased by 14.02-15.43% and 9.23-24.98%, respectively, whereas it was increased by 37.03-42.64% in the soils amended with H-CS. Additionally, all hydrochar amendments effectively reduced the OTC uptake in root and shoot of Chinese cabbage by 10.41-57.99% and 31.92-65.99%, respectively. The response of soil microbial community to hydrochar amendment heavily depended on feedstock type rather than hydrochar level. The soil microbial metabolism (e.g., carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid metabolism) was enhanced by hydrochar amendment. The redundancy analysis suggested that TCA cycle was positively related to the abundances of OTC-degrading bacteria (Proteobacteria, Arthrobacter and Sphingomonas) in all hydrochar-amended soils. The hydrochar amendment accelerated the soil OTC removal and reduced plant uptake in soil-Chinese cabbage system by altering soil properties, enhancing OTC-degrading bacteria and promoting microbial metabolism. These findings demonstrated that the cost-effective and sustainable hydrochar was a promising remediation material for antibiotic-contaminated soil.

Abstract
High concentrations of antibiotics in swine wastewater raises concerns about the potential adverse effects of anaerobic digestion (AD). Current studies mainly focused on the effects of various antibiotic concentrations. However, these studies didn't take into account the fluctuation of swine wastewater quality and the change of reactor operating conditions in practical engineering applications. In this study, it was found that in the operating systems with COD of 3300 mg/L and hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 4.4 days, the continuous addition of oxytetracycline for 30 days had no effect on the AD performance. Nevertheless, when COD and HRT were changed to 4950 mg/L and 1.5 days respectively, oxytetracycline at 2 and 8 mg/L increased the cumulative methane yield by 27% and 38% at the cost of destroying cell membrane, respectively, while oxytetracycline at 0.3 mg/L improved the performance and stability of AD. These results could be referred for practical engineering applications.

Abstract
The novel CuMnS nanoflower fluorescent probe based on Mn-doped CuS was developed to achieve the fluorescence detection of oxytetracycline hydrochloride (OTC), the fluorescent sensor has good selectivity and stability. The doping of Mn significantly increased the fluorescence intensity of CuS, which was above 10 times that of CuS. When the predominant species of OTC molecule was zwitterionic OTC+/-at the solution pH of about 5.00, the fluorescence quenching efficiency of CuMnS by OTC reached the highest. Through fluorescence lifetime and UV absorption, the sensing mechanism between CuMnS and OTC was found to be static quenching. Moreover, Multiwfn wavefunction analysis program based on density function theory (DFT) calculation was applied to compare the interactions between different OTC species and CuMnS at different pH, to reveal the micromechanism of fluorescence quenching of CuMnS by OTC from the views of atoms. The molecular surface quantitative analysis and basin analysis of different OTC species demonstrated that the N atom and O atoms of tricarbonylamide moiety of zwitterionic OTC+/- can provide lone pair electrons to form a non-fluorescent ground state complex with CuMnS. Meanwhile, the electrostatic attraction of OTC+/- with negatively charged CuMnS was also beneficial to the interaction, resulting in the effective fluorescence quenching of CuMnS. This work offers a convenient method for sensitively detecting OTC and broadens the application of CuMnS in the field of fluorescence detection.

Abstract
The threat of tetracycline antibiotics to the environment and human health is attracting widespread attention. The development of morphological analysis and quantitative techniques of multiple tetracyclines is of great significance for the evaluation of biochemical toxicity, wide-spectrum antibacterial property and degradation cycle between different tetracyclines. In this study, the white fluorescent Eu/Tb@CDs was synthesized and applied successfully to the identification and detection of the most widely used tetracycline antibiotics (tetracycline (TC), oxytetracycline (OC), chlortetracycline (CC) and doxycycline (DC)) with detection limits all below 1 nM. For the actual water samples with coexistence of the above 4 tetracyclines, their simultaneous morphology identification and accurate quantitative detection can also be realized through simple spectrometric measurement. In addition, the selective and competitive experiments have been carried out on the pollutants widely present in water, and the results have also confirmed that other pollutants could not interfere with the detection of the above 4 tetracyclines. It is undeniable that this work will conveniently and visually reveal the existence information and geographical distribution characteristics of different tetracycline antibiotics in the environment and their action mechanism on organisms.

Abstract
The valorization of poultry byproducts, like feathers (processed to feather meal), in animal feed could contribute to the presence of veterinary drugs, including antibiotics. An animal study was carried out to study the fate of sulfadiazine, trimethoprim, and oxytetracycline in feathers, plasma, and droppings of broiler chickens. Cage and floor housing, different from current farm practices, were studied. Samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). A longer presence of antibiotics was observed in feathers compared to plasma, with sulfadiazine being present the most. The internal presence (via blood) and the external presence (via droppings) of antibiotics in/on feathers were shown. Analysis of Escherichia coli populations, from droppings and feathers, highlighted that resistant bacteria could be transferred from droppings to feathers in floor-housed animals. The overall results suggest that feathers are a potential reservoir of antimicrobial residues and could contribute to the selection of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the environment, animals, and humans.

Abstract
Although the studies on antibiotic contamination are common at present, large-scale sampling studies drawing highly representative conclusions are still scarce. This study conducted a comprehensive investigation on a total of 1183 samples from 70 livestock farms within a sensitive area around reservoir waters. 45 types of antibiotics belonging to 5 different classes were monitored. This is the first analysis to comprehensively investigate the density distribution, source apportionment, ecological and health risk of antibiotics in an entire area of sensitive waters. The results showed that the layer manure samples had highest detection rate of antibiotics (0.0 %-96.1 %, average value = 30.7 %) followed by pig manure samples. Oxytetracycline had the highest concentration of 712.16 mg/kg in a pig manure sample. Different from using antibiotic concentration as a proxy for pollution level, the spatial density was calculated by averaging antibiotic concentration to area and converting different livestock to pig equivalent. The spatial density of pig equivalent can more realistically reflect the pollution caused by different breeds of livestocks. It was shown that the pig farms contributed higher to total antibiotic density than the layer and cattle farms did. After assessed, a few antibiotics (oxytetracycline, chlorotetracycline and tetracycline) have posed high ecological risks to soil around the farms. However, none of them caused hazard quotient (HQ) risk and carcinogenic risk (CR) to human health in the water of reservoir. Children were more likely to be at hazard risk than adults. Antibiotic mass fluctuation rules were analyzed along the chain (feed → livestock waste → soil → surface water). Feed, livestock waste and soil had similar diversity, but the antibiotic concentrations continued to decline, implying the possible sources of antibiotic residues were similar. Thus, it is important to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use to prevent the potential long-term risk of antibiotics.

Abstract
Catalytic ozonation with supported metal oxides is a promising strategy for addressing refractory pollutants in wastewater. In this study, γ-Al2O3 supported MnOx-CeOx catalysts (MC1, MC2, and MC3) obtained at different calcination temperatures (400 °C, 550 °C, and 700 °C) were applied as effective catalysts for ozonation and explored the feasibility of the treatment of oxytetracycline (OTC) wastewater. Comparatively, the MC2 possessed the highest molar ratios of Mn3+/Mn4+ (1.60) and Ce3+/Ce4+ (0.96), the largest surface area (273.8 m2 g-1) with a petal-shaped structure, and most abundant surface hydroxyls (3.78 mmol g-1). These physicochemical characteristics benefited the surface reaction and resulted in the acceleration of ozone decomposition, electron transfer, and •OH generation, thereby improving the catalyst's adsorption ability and catalytic activity. The combination with MC2 increased the OTC and COD removal of the ozonation process from 59.1% and 29.0% to 94.7% and 83.3% in 25 min, respectively. By employing electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and radical quenching experiments, it was verified that •OH species generation promoted the mineralization of OTC. The possible degradation pathways of OTC were investigated through mass spectrometry, and the route consisted of dehydration, deamination, and demethylation. Moreover, during a 12-day continuous experiment, MC2 catalyst exhibited excellent reusability and catalytic stability, with COD removal efficiencies above 80%.

Abstract
Frequent human activities in estuary areas lead to the release of a large number of antibiotics, which poses a great threat to human health. However, there are very limited studies about the influence of the special natural phenomena on the occurrence and migration of antibiotics in the environment. In this study, we simulated the migration and transformation of six typical antibiotics, including oxytetracycline (OTC), tetracycline (TC), norfloxacin (NOR), ofloxacin (OFX), erythromycin (ETM), and amoxicillin (AMOX), in the environmental media from 2011 to 2019 in the Yangtze River Estuary, by using the level III multi-media fugacity model combined with the factor of tides. The simulation results showed that the most antibiotics mainly existed in soil and sediment while erythromycin were found mainly in water. The concentrations of antibiotics in air, freshwater, seawater, groundwater, sediment, and soil were 10-23-10-25, 0.1-12 ng/L, 0.02-7 ng/L, 0.02-16 ng/L, 0.1-13 ng/g, and 0.1-15 ng/g respectively. Sensitivity analysis showed that the degradation rate (Km) and the soil-to-water runoff coefficient (Kl) were important model parameters, indicating that hydrodynamic conditions had a significant impact on the migration of antibiotics in various environmental phases in estuarine areas. Tide can enhance the exchange between water bodies and cause the transformation of the antibiotics from freshwater to seawater and groundwater, which improved the accuracy of the model, especially the seawater and soil phase. Risk assessments showed that amoxicillin, erythromycin, ofloxacin, and norfloxacin posed a threat to the estuarine environment, but the current source of drinking water did not affect human health. Our findings suggested that, when one would like to exam the occurrence and migration of antibiotics in environment, more consideration should be given to the natural phenomena, in addition to human activities and the nature of antibiotics.

Abstract
Tetracyclines are frequently employed in animal husbandry. Bromhexine is a mucolytic drug that improves the efficacy of tetracyclines. It has been reported that residues of tetracyclines in milk may have negative effects on humans. Two versatile and accurate methods were developed for concurrent analysis of oxytetracycline (OTC) and bromhexine (BR) residues in spiked milk samples. Sample preparation was carefully considered for extraction and cleanup using the ecofriendly chemicals acetic acid, 0.1 N EDTA and ethanol or methanol. The first method was a TLC-densitometric method in which TLC plates previously treated with 10% EDTA (pH 9 with 40% sodium hydroxide) were used as a stationary phase. A solvent mixture of methanol : methylene chloride : 2% aqueous acetic acid (8 : 2 : 0.5, by volume) was the developing system, and detection was carried out at 254 nm. Metformin was used as the internal standard, and linearity was achieved in the ranges of 0.2-10 and 0.04-2 μg per band for OTC and BR, respectively. The second method was a RP-HPLC method; separation was performed on a C18 column using an isocratic mixture of ethanol : 7.5% aqueous acetic acid (70 : 30, v/v). Separation was achieved within 10 minutes, and linearity was proven in the ranges of 0.05-50 and 0.05-30 μg mL-1 for OTC and BR, respectively. Diclofenac sodium was used as an internal standard. The proposed methods were validated in accordance with the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine guidelines. Moreover, the performance and health and environmental impacts of the methods were evaluated using several greenness metrics, namely, the National Environmental Methods Index (NEMI), modified NEMI, Green Analytical Procedure Index (GAPI), Analytical Eco-Scale and Analytical GREEnness (AGREE) metric approaches. All the obtained results proved the validity of the developed methods concerning its performance and ecological effects. The methods can be used to investigate the presence of OTC residues in various marketed milk samples to maintain public health.

Abstract
Antibiotic contamination in water has been an increasing global concern, and how to effectively remove antibiotics (e.g., oxytetracycline [OTC] hydrochloride) from wastewater becomes imperative. In this study, the biochar derived from an invasive plant (Mikania micrantha Kunth) was synthesized with Zn/Fe- layered double hydroxide (LDH) by co-precipitation method (ZnFe-LDH/MBC) to remove OTC from water. ZnFe-LDH/MBC posed the highest OTC removal performance of 426.61 mg/g. ZnFe-LDH/MBC exhibited stability and efficiency in OTC adsorption at different pH levels and under interfering conditions with co-existing ions, as well as outstanding regeneration capabilities during adsorption-desorption cycles. Furthermore, the removal of OTC by ZnFe-LDH/MBC was mediated by several processes including pore filling, hydrogen bonding force, electrostatic interaction, π-π interaction, as well as complexation. Consequently, ZnFe-LDH/MBC has excellent potential for the purification of OTC pollutants that is low-cost, efficient, and environmentally friendly.

Abstract
Three common seaweeds including Ulva fasciata, Codium cylindricum and Ishige okamurai were used for the remediation of maricultural wastewater and sediment in the presence/absence of trace level of oxytetracycline (OTC) in lab-scale experiments. Higher NO3--N and PO43--P removal rates were achieved due to the presence of seaweeds, and trace OTC also had a positive effect on NO3--N removal. A slight variation of 2.10-2.15% were observed in the total relative abundances of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) of different sediment samples after one-month operation. However, the variation of ARGs profiles by the co-existence of different seaweeds and OTC was in the descending order of Ishige okamurai > Codium cylindricum > Ulva fasciata, which was in accordance with the variation of microbial hosts at genus level. The abundance of dominant tetracycline resistance genes promoted by the co-existence of different seaweeds and OTC in compared with the presence of single seaweed or OTC via metagenomic sequencing and qPCR analysis, and the co-existence of Ishige okamurai and OTC exhibited the largest impact. The potential pathogens were more sensitive to the co-existence of seaweed and OTC than single seaweeds. Meanwhile, a variety of ARGs were enriched in the pathogens, and the dominant pathogenic bacteria of Vibrio had 133 Vibrio species with 28 subtypes of ARGs. The variation of ARGs profiles in the sediment were strongly related with the dominant phyla Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, Planctomycetes and Cyanobacteria. Besides, Nitrate level exhibited more significant effect on ∑ARGs, ARGs resistant to vancomycin and streptogramin_a, while phosphate level exhibited more positively significant effect on ARGs resistant to fosmidomycin, ATFBT and cephalosporin.

Abstract
In-house receptors (IHRs) were isolated from non-immunized poultry liver to analyze selected contaminants and residues in targeted food and feed using 14C- and 3H-labeled radiotracers. Matrix (2 g) was homogenized and centrifuged with the resultant pellet used as IHRs. These were characterized for total protein contents (6.1 mg mL-1) and compared with commercial receptors for aflatoxins (0.28 mg tablet-1) and chloramphenicol (0.12 mg tablet-1). Gel electrophoresis of the IHRs showed a mixture of polypeptides-an important attribute for multi-residues analysis-compared with commercial receptors that presented specific protein bands at 65 kDa (chloramphenicol) and 70 kDa (aflatoxins). The inhibition index of IHRs for aflatoxins B1 and B2 in wheat and bovine feed and chloramphenicol in bovine tissue at, above, and below maximum limits or minimum required performance limits, revealed an inverse relationship between radiotracer and analyte concentrations. Saturation with increased radioligand concentration up to 5.5 kBq indicated higher holding potential. However, increasing incubation time to 30 min did not significantly increase analyte-binding. The IHRs performance was comparable to commercial receptors with control point averages of 348, 410, 555, and 307 counts per minute determined for gentamicin, chloramphenicol, oxytetracycline, and aflatoxin M1, respectively in local milk samples.

Abstract
Antibiotics in the environment could undergo various processes with formation of transformation products, but little has been known about their occurrence and (eco)toxicological consequences. Here we investigated the occurrence and fate of nine transformation products of four tetracyclines (tetracycline, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline and doxycycline) in three municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in Guangzhou, China. The results showed the detection of all the tetracyclines and their transformation products in the WWTPs, with mean concentrations ranging from 17.8 ng/L (anhydrotetracycline) to 49.1 ng/L (oxytetracycline) in influent, 3.03 ng/L (tetracycline) to 6.94 ng/L (4-epi-chlortetracycline) in effluent, and 19.8 ng/g (isochlortetracycline) to 503 ng/g (4-epi-tertracycline) in sludge, respectively. The transformation products of tetracycline, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline and doxycycline accounted for 73%-83%, 26%-52%, 70%-73% and 69%-74% of total concentrations, respectively. The aqueous removal rates of tetracyclines and their transformation products in the three WWTPs ranged from 18.4% (demethyl-chlortetracycline) to 93.7% (oxytetracycline). Mass balance analysis based on both aqueous and solid phase showed that their removals were mainly attributed to the sludge adsorption. Residual tetracyclines and their transformation products in the effluents would pose no obvious ecological risks to three aquatic organisms (green algae, daphnia and fish). However, 43.5% of sludge samples had high risks from these tetracyclines and transformation products, especially the compounds with poor biodegradability. The results from this study suggest that transformation products should be included in future environmental monitoring and control.

Abstract
Antibiotics have received increased attention as emerging contaminants due to their toxicity and potential risk. Landfills serve as one of the important reservoirs of antibiotics. The antibiotics in landfills leaching to nearby environment by leachate may threat ecosystem health. The present study aimed to evaluate the levels of tetracyclines (TCs) and sulfonamides (SAs) in seven Chinese Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfill leachates over two years (2017-2018). Seven target antibiotics, TC, oxytetracycline (OTC), doxycycline (DXC), sulfonamide sulfadiazine (SD), sulfamerazine (SM), sulfamethazine (SMX), and sulfamethoxazole (SMT), were detected in 56 landfill leachate samples. Among these, SMT had the highest mean concentration at 654 ng/L (n = 45), followed by OTC (219.58 ng/L, n = 47), and SD (209.98 ng/L, n = 49). The temporal trend showed that antibiotic concentrations were higher in 2017 than in 2018. Furthermore, physicochemical properties were significantly correlated with SAs (p < 0.05), whereas no significant correlation was found for TCs. Seasonal variation analysis revealed that antibiotic levels were higher in spring and winter compared to summer and fall seasons, which might be attributed to the higher waterfall levels in these seasons. Risk assessment revealed that SAs (SM, SMX, SMT) are associated with high risk, and the RQs follow the order of: SMX > SMT > SM. In contrast, TCs had insignificant risk. The findings of this two-year comprehensive monitoring project have produced positive results regarding antibiotic pollution at landfill sites, which can be applied to antibiotics management in landfill and further ensure public health.

Abstract
In this study, sycamore flocs (SF), which caused environmental and health problems, were utilized to prepare biochar. SFB2-900 obtained under the conditions of activation agent K2CO3, pyrolysis temperature 900℃ and m(K2CO3):m(BC) 2 had the strongest adsorption capacity (730 mg/g) for oxytetracycline hydrochloride (OTC-HCl). The pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir model described the adsorption kinetics and isotherms best. SFB2-900 exhibited high OTC-HCl adsorption capacity in both higher ionic strength and wide pH range. The theoretical simulation indicated that the closest interaction distance between OTC-HCl and SFB2-900 was 2.44 Å via π-π stacking configuration. Pore filling, π-π electron donor acceptor (EDA) interaction, H-bonding and electrostatic interactions were also involved in the process of OTC-HCl removal. SFB2-900 showed great removal efficiency for OTC-HCl in different water matrices and good regeneration ability. This study solved the problems caused by SF, realized waste biomass recycling, and achieved preparing high-efficient adsorbent for antibiotic.

Abstract
The presence of antibiotics in soils may increase the selection pressure on soil bacterial communities and cause tolerance to these pollutants. The temporal evolution of bacterial community tolerance to different concentrations of tetracycline (TC), oxytetracycline (OTC) and chlortetracycline (CTC) was evaluated in two soils. The results showed an increase of soil bacterial community tolerance to TC, CTC and OTC only in samples polluted with the highest antibiotic concentrations tested (2000 mg kg-1). The magnitude of those increases was higher in the soil with the lower organic carbon content (1.6%) than in the soil with an organic carbon content reaching 3.4%. In the soil with low organic carbon content, the time-course evolution showed a maximum increase in the tolerance of bacterial communities to tetracycline antibiotics between 45 and 100 incubation days, while for longer incubation times (360 days) the tolerance decreased. In the soil with high organic carbon content, a similar behavior was found for OTC. However, for CTC and TC, slightly increases and decreases (respectively) were found in the bacterial community tolerance at intermediate incubation times, followed by values close to zero for TC after 360 days of incubation, while for CTC they remained higher than in the control. In conclusion, soil pollution due to tetracyclines may cause bacterial community tolerance to these antibiotics when present at high concentrations. In addition, the risk is higher in soils with low organic matter content, and it decreases with time.

Abstract
The antibiotic oxytetracycline (OTC) has been widely used for therapeutic and preventive management of bacterial diseases in finfish and shellfish. In the present study the bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, and withdrawal period of the OTC have been determined following in-feed administration in intensively cultured catfish Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. Furthermore, the pharmacokinetic parameters of oral route were also compared with parenteral route. Drug concentrations were measured in various tissues at different time intervals by LC-MS/MS. The study revealed the drug kinetics best followed the enterohepatic circulation model with very poor bioavailability and low blood concentration after oral administration. In the withdrawal study, after 10-days of in-feed administration at the therapeutic dose the drug reached very high concentrations in the liver and kidneys but did not attain minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) in blood or flesh. OTC concentration also did not exceed the recommended MRL value in flesh; however, considering high amounts of the chemical in the liver and kidneys a withdrawal period of 4 days (at 28 ± 1.5 oC) is recommended for consumer safety. Poor bioavailability and non-attainment of minimum therapeutic concentration in blood and flesh do not warrant in-feed administration of OTC for control of bacterial diseases in P. hypophthalmus. AVAILABILITY OF DATA AND MATERIALS: All data generated and analyzed during this study are included in this article. Raw data may be shared upon reasonable request.

Abstract
In this paper, dicyandiamide (Dd) and p-benzaldehyde (Bd) were heated at 180 °C for 3 h to prepare a new type of stable covalent organic framework (COF) DdBd nanosol with high catalysis. It was characterized by molecular spectroscopy and electron microscopy. The study found that DdBd had a strong catalytic effect on the new indicator reaction of polyethylene glycol 600 (PEG600)-chloroauric acid to form gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). AuNPs have strong resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) activity, and in the presence of Victoria Blue B (VBB) molecular probes, they also have a strong surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect. Combined with a highly selective oxytetracycline (OTC) aptamer (Apt) reaction, new dual-mode scattering SERS/RRS methods were developed to quantitatively analyze ultratrace OTC. The linear range of RRS is 3.00 × 10-3 -6.00 × 10-2 nmol/L, the detection limit is 1.1 × 10-3 nmol/L, the linear range of SERS is 3.00 × 10-3-7.00 × 10-2 nmol/L, and the detection limit is 9.0 × 10-4 nmol/L. Using the SERS method to analyze OTC in soil samples, the relative standard deviation is 1.35-4.78%, and the recovery rate is 94.3-104.9%.

Abstract
As with excellent catalytic performance, palladium nanoclusters (PdNCs) have a wide range of applications. However, the traditional PdNCs are easy to agglomerate in the analysis system and lose their catalytic activity. A covalent organic framework (COF) has a definite structure, good stability, and easy surface functionalization. So, it is of great significance to develop stable PdNCs with high catalytic activity and then combine with advanced analysis techniques to analyze ultratrace small-molecule pollutants in the environment. In this research, a stable PdNC dispersed on a COF (PdTpPa) catalyst is prepared and we find it with strong catalysis for the NaH2PO2-HAuCl4 catalytic reaction. Furthermore, this nanocatalytic indicator reaction can be tracked by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) dual-mode. Combined with a highly specific aptamer-modifying technique, a highly sensitive and selective SERS/RRS dimode assay platform for trace organic pollutants has been developed. The detection limits of oxytetracycline (OTC), glyphosate (GLY), tetracycline (TEC), and bisphenol A (BPA) are 0.64, 0.03, 6.2 × 10-3, and 0.53 × 10-3 ng/mL, respectively. This work also provides ideas for the application of COF materials and Pd nanocatalysts in the molecular spectral detection of trace pollutants.

Abstract
This study is focused on oxytetracycline (OTC) degradation by direct photolysis (UV-C) and photobased advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) (UV-C/H2O2 and UV-C/S2O82-). OTC degradation pathways were revealed by LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS analyses. The evolution/degradation profiles of 12 detected byproducts were correlated with changes in biodegradability and toxicity toward Vibrio fischeri recorded during the treatment. Both photobased AOPs yielded higher OTC degradation and mineralization rates than direct photolysis. The OTC degradation pathway was found to be rather specific regarding the main reactive species (HO• or SO4•-)/mechanism, yielding different patterns in toxicity changes, while biodegradability profiles were less affected. Biodegradability was correlated with the observed degradation and mineralization kinetics. The recorded toxicity changes indicate that byproducts formed by initial OTC degradation are more toxic than the parent pollutant. The prolonged treatment resulted in the formation of byproducts that contributed to a decrease in toxicity and an increase in biodegradability, as particularly emphasized in the case of UV-C/S2O82-.

Abstract
Oxytetracycline (OTC), one of the largely used antibiotic in veterinary practice has been banned due to its potential side effects. Development of a field applicable and affordable kit to detect OTC will help to eliminate such milk from human consumption. An aptamer has been designed (27 nt; Kd = 29.2 ± 19.4 nM) through rational truncation. OTC interacts with this aptamer in G rich regions as confirmed by molecular modelling and circular dichroism spectroscopy. To develop a lateral flow based aptasensor, OTC was conjugated with a 7 kDa carrier protein to immobilize onto the nitrocellulose membrane. Using 0.125 µM aptamer-gold conjugate, assay could visually detects upto 5 ng/mL of OTC in spiked milk within 10 mins [Limit of quantitation (LOQ)-0.254 ± 1.62 ng/mL; permissible limit 100 ng/mL]. It showed no cross reactivity with components of milk and data correlated with analysis done through HPLC.

Abstract
Misuse of antibiotics in animal husbandry and presence of their residues in animal foods is a serious crisis worldwide and thus, monitoring the level of them in food samples is vital for human health. Herein, a fluorescent aptasensor was developed for highly sensitive quantification of oxytetracycline (OTC) in food samples. This method is based on OTC aptamer conjugated to magnetic beads, functioned as recognition element, complementary strand of OTC aptamer, and PicoGreen (PG) as a sensitive double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) fluorescent dye. Formation of OTC aptamer-magnetic bead conjugate provides the opportunity of sample condensation and separation technology. Additionally, the presence of complementary strand leads to significant fluorescence signal alteration of aptasensor in the presence or absence of target and a noteworthy improvement of the aptasensor sensitivity. In the absence of target, complementary strand could bind to aptamer and form dsDNA on the surface of magnetic bead. As a consequence, adding PG to the sample leads to observation of high fluorescence signal from sample. In contrast, once OTC is added to the sample, it binds to OTC aptamer-magnetic bead complex and prevents hybridization of OTC aptamer and its complementary strand. Hence, after addition of PG to the sample, a weak fluorescence intensity is measured. Under optimized conditions, the linear ranges for OTC detection were 0.2-2 nM and 2-800 nM. The detection limit was calculated to be as low as 0.15 nM for the fabricated aptasensor. Besides the great sensitivity, proposed method demonstrated superior specificity towards OTC once it was used against several antibiotics. More significantly, the recovery rates of OTC in milk ranged from 96.46% to 101.5%, implying the great feasibility of designed sensor as well as its potential to be employed for analysis of OTC in real samples.

Abstract
The photochemical degradation of norfloxacin (NOR) and oxytetracycline (OTC) was investigated under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The results indicated that both NOR and OTC can be degraded, whereas the reaction rates decreased with increasing concentration of NOR and OTC. The degradation rates of NOR and OTC (5 μM) were 0.0256 min-1 and 0.0140 min-1. Acidic conditions inhibited the degradation of NOR; however, alkaline conditions promoted the degradation of NOR. Meanwhile, the degradation of OTC was promoted by alkaline conditions but hardly affected by acidic conditions. In real water, the degradation of NOR was slower than that in ultrapure water, whereas the degradation of OTC was faster in real water. NOR produced five degradation products, with pathways mainly comprising hydroxylation and defluorination. OTC produced three degradation products, with its degradation pathways mainly consisting of deep oxidation, dehydration, and secondary alcohol oxidation. During the UV photolysis process, the mineralization rates of NOR and OTC (5 μM) were 9.83% and 6.87% after 60-min irradiation. This work can provide a theoretical basis for understanding the migration and transformation behavior of antibiotics in the water environment.

Abstract
Microplastics are emerging contaminants and widely distributed in the environment. They are considered as a vector of numerous organic pollutants including antibiotics in aquatic environments and thereby influence their distribution and transport behaviors. However, the effects of microplastics on the environmental behavior of antibiotics in soils remain largely unclear. In this paper, the influence of polyamide (PA) microplastics on sorption and transport of the selected antibiotic [oxytetracycline (OTC)] in a sandy loamy soil was studied by performing batch and column experiments. Results show that PA microplastics increase the pH of reaction systems, which contributes to OTC sorption onto the tested soils. However, altering pH is not the key influencing mechanism because the overall sorption capacity decreases slightly after adding PA microplastics, which can be attributed to the dilution effect. Reduction of OTC sorption by adding microplastics promotes the migration of OTC in the tested soil, which could be demonstrated by the results of column experiments that the breakthrough of OTC occurs earlier with an increasing content of PA microplastics. According to the fitting parameters of HYDRUS-1D model, PA microplastics can affect the transport of OTC by altering the soil pore structure and dispersion coefficient. These results provide new insight into the interaction between microplastics and organic pollutants in soil environments.

Abstract
The widely distributed seaweed Ulva fasciata has nutrient absorption abilities and can be used in the bioremediation of polluted maricultural environments. This study explored microbial community and antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) variation in mariculture sediments in response to different trace levels (10, 100, and 500 μg L-1) of oxytetracycline (OTC) and the presence of Ulva fasciata. The increase in OTC level promoted nutrient (NO3_-N and PO43--P) removal mainly due to Ulva fasciata adsorption. The abundances of the Euryarchaeota and Planctomycetes phyla in sediments were positively related to the increase in OTC stress, while a negative correlation occurred for the Proteobacteria phylum via metagenomic analysis. Compared with the control system, the increase rates of total ARGs were 3.90%, 7.36% and 13.42% at the OTC levels of 10, 100 and 500 μg L-1, respectively. OTC stress mainly favoured the collateral enrichment of non-corresponding polypeptide and MLS ARGs, mainly due to the enrichment of the phyla Planctomycetes and Euryarchaeota by the synergistic effect of OTC and nutrients. The results of quantitative PCR with tetracycline resistance genes (TRGs) (tetO, tetT, tetPB, tetW and otrA) and a horizontal transfer gene (intl1) demonstrated that all of genes had much higher gene numbers in sediments after 3 months of OTC stress than in those without OTC stress, which was strongly related to the variation in the phyla Bacteroidetes, Gemmatimonadetes and Acidobacteria. The significant correlation between intl1 and the target TRGs is indicative of the important role of the horizontal transfer of integron-resistant genes in the spread of TRGs.

Abstract
We investigated individual and combined effects of environmentally representative concentrations of amoxicillin (AMX; 2 μg l-1), enrofloxacin (ENR; 2 μg l-1), and oxytetracycline (OXY; 1 μg l-1) on the aquatic macrophyte Lemna minor. While the concentrations of AMX and ENR tested were not toxic, OXY decreased plant growth and cell division. OXY induced hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) accumulation and related oxidative stress through its interference with the activities of mitochondria electron transport chain enzymes, although those deleterious effects could be ameliorated by the presence of AMX and/or ENR, which prevented the overaccumulation of ROS by increasing catalase enzyme activity. L. minor plants accumulated significant quantities of AMX, ENR and OXY from the media, although competitive uptakes were observed when plants were submitted to binary or tertiary mixtures of those antibiotics. Our results therefore indicate L. minor as a candidate for phytoremediation of service waters contaminated by AMX, ENR, and/or OXY.

Abstract
Tetracycline antibiotics spread in the environment constitute a real threat, causing risks that should be controlled. Retention/release of these compounds after interacting with soil components are the main process governing their entry into water bodies, plant uptake, and availability for soil microorganisms. In this work, batch-type experiments were performed to study adsorption/desorption of oxytetracycline (OTC) and chlortetracycline (CTC) in 63 crop soils. The Freundlich model satisfactory described adsorption curves, showing strong affinity of both antibiotics to soils, with adsorption coefficient (KF(ads)) values between 1015 and 9733 Ln μmol1-n kg-1 for OTC, and between 1099 and 11344 Ln μmol1-n kg-1 for CTC. Desorption percentages were always lower than 10%, indicating that adsorption is highly irreversible. Furthermore, the desorption coefficient (KF(des)) correlated positive and significantly with KF(ads), showing that those soils characterized by higher adsorption were also those showing less desorption. Soil organic carbon (SOC) was the soil characteristic that most explained the variance of KF, both for adsorption and desorption, which caused that soils with higher SOC scores showed higher adsorption and lower desorption for both antibiotics. Pedotransfer functions were developed for OTC and CTC, and resulted effective to satisfactory predict KF(ads) and KF(des) values. These equations would facilitate an easy identification of soils vulnerable to antibiotics pollution, which would allow to program appropriate management practices to decrease undesirable effects on the environment and on public health.

Abstract
Oxytetracycline hydrochloride, an antibiotic of the tetracycline family, is a polymorphic drug that evidences erratic absorption in oral administration. Additionally, poor solid state characterization of the polymorphs and diversity in the existing nomenclature impede the correct identification of the raw materials. In this work, oxytetracycline hydrochloride solid forms were prepared from isopropyl alcohol, ethanol and methanol through different crystallization techniques, and then their physicochemical and microbiological properties were evaluated. A combination of advanced techniques such as solid state nuclear magnetic resonance, powder X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were used in the characterization of solid samples giving clear evidence of the existence of three stable and one metastable solid forms of the oxytetracycline hydrochloride. Solubility was determined in aqueous solution, simulated gastric fluid, and simulated intestinal fluid. In addition, microbiological studies were performed. The polymorphs showed similar antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Therefore, these solid forms of oxytetracycline hydrochloride constitute promising candidates to encourage studies for repositioning old and known antibiotic drugs in the developing strategies for new therapeutic alternatives.

Abstract
RATIONALE A thorough understanding of the content and distribution of active ingredients in pharmaceuticals is essential for drug efficacy and safety. Technological advancements in mass spectrometry imaging present an opportunity for methodological innovation by providing qualification and quantification analysis, as well as spatial information, in the same assay, which has great potential for applications in the rapid analysis and quality control of drugs. METHODS Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) was employed to directly analyze oxytetracycline tablets in order to map the distribution of the active constituent within the whole tablet. Quantitative analysis was capable of differentiating tablets containing various doses of the active pharmaceutical ingredient. RESULTS To establish the methodology, detailed factors that influence matrix spraying and spatial resolution during sample preparation and the data acquisition process were optimized systematically. Quantitative analysis could differentiate the tablets containing various doses of the active compound. The proposed method was successfully applied to analyze real commercial tablets. CONCLUSIONS The developed method could successfully achieve the spatial location of oxytetracycline in actual tablet samples. These results could contribute to pharmaceutical tracing technology, especially the formulation process of tablets, which is helpful for monitoring the quality of pharmaceutical products and guaranteeing drug security.

Abstract
The amino-functionalized mesoporous silica-magnetic graphene oxide nanocomposite (A-mGO-Si) was synthesized and used for oxytetracycline (OTC) removal from water. Various factors like the effects of initial concentration, contact time, and influence of pH were investigated. Selective adsorption experiments in connection with coexisting ions and dissolved organic matter (DOM) were also investigated. In this study, humic acid (HA) and tannic acid (TA) were representative of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic DOM, respectively. Results indicated that A-mGO-Si had an adsorption ability for OTC that was relatively greater than that of virgin magnetic graphene oxide (mGO), graphene oxide (GO), Fe3O4 particles, and SBA-15 mesoporous silica and also showed a better uptake removal capacity for OTC at low initial concentration in comparison with the other adsorbents. The adsorption behavior of OTC onto A-mGO-Si could be described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Freundlich isotherm model. The electrostatic interaction has no influence on the OTC absorbed when the OTC is in an aqueous medium in its zwitterion form (3.22 < pH < 7.46). At high pH, the weak π-π EDA interactions and hydrogen bonding may manifest themselves, hence causing a lower adsorption capacity. The main adsorption mechanisms were plausibly activated by H-bonding, and π-π EDA interactions, while the electrostatic interaction (cation-π interaction) might be the minor adsorption mechanism. Addition of individually exogenous ions (Na+, Mg2+, NO-, and CO32-) resulted in a decrease of OTC adsorption due to the emergence of a competitive effect. Considering the presence of HA and TA in mixed solute systems, the DOM was likely to form a stronger interaction system with mGO-Si, thereby resulting in an adsorption level which was more competitive in the process at low aqueous phase concentration of OTC. In contrast to the high aqueous phase, the coexistence of DOM could promote OTC adsorption. The phenomenon may reflect the result that a surface complexation mechanism could achieve in adsorptions.

Abstract
A large proportion (60-90%) of ingested tetracyclines are released to slurry, soils, surface waters and ground water, which has raised extensive concerns and may pose a risk to the soil ecosystem. A 56-day experiment was conducted to study the bioremediation by earthworms on soil microbial diversity and partial nitrification processes in oxytetracycline (OTC)-contaminated soil. The results showed that high OTC concentration significantly decreased the activity of soil bacteria, ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and archaea (AOA). Earthworms were found to accelerate the degradation efficiency and rate of OTC, and its main metabolites were 4-epi-oxytetracycline (EOTC) and 2-acetyl-2-decarboxamido-oxytetracycline (ADOTC). Earthworms had an important role in the bioremediation of soil microbial diversity by degrading OTC and its metabolite (EOTC), especially in the high OTC condition. Additionally, the results indicated that the effects of earthworms on the degradation of OTC could remediate the abundances of 16S rRNA and AOB amoA genes and the NO3- content in both low and high OTC-contaminated soils. The structural equation model suggested that earthworms could remediate the microbial diversity, the abundances of 16s rRNA and AOB amoA genes by accelerating the degradation of OTC, which contributed to the bioremediation by earthworms on soil microbial diversity and partial nitrification processes in oxytetracycline-contaminated soil.

Abstract
Three adsorbents, namely, original biochar (CLB), montmorillonite (MMT)-biochar composite (MBC), and magnetic MMT-biochar composite (MMBC) were successfully fabricated by one step pyrolysis of original cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L.) leaves, mixture of cauliflower leaves and MMT, and FeCl3-laden mixture of cauliflower leaves and MMT under limited oxygen atmosphere, respectively. The characterizations of samples indicated that substantial MMT mineral particles and Fe3O4 nanoparticle were dispersed on the surface of MMBC. Due to the introduction of Fe3O4, MMBC performed excellent magnetization property. The adsorption experiments of oxytetracycline (OTC) indicated that the maximum adsorption ability of MMBC was 58.85 mg·g-1, which was 2.63 times as large as CLB, also, larger than that of MBC. Meanwhile, pH, ionic strength, and humic acid (HA) performed slight effects for adsorption of OTC on MMBC. In addition, MMBC still removed 92% OTC after five regeneration cycles. Finally, primary mechanisms of OTC adsorption onto MMBC were attributed to hydrogen bonding and π-π reaction, and ion exchange reaction was considered to exist. Meanwhile, functional groups including Si-O-Al, Si-O-Si, Si-O, and Fe3O4 nanoparticles would provide extra binding sites for OTC adsorption. Therefore, MMBC had an obvious potential to apply into water purification as a reliable, low-cost, and environmentally friendly adsorbent.

Abstract
Antibiotics, heavy metals and related antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills have aroused more attentions due to their potential risk toward the ecosystems and public healthcare, but the contents and relationships of them have yet to be systematically understood during landfilling process. In this study, we selected refuse samples with different ages from two representative landfills and leachate samples from three major landfills. The total contents of measured antibiotics and metals respectively ranged from 157.22 to 1752.01 μg/kg and 19624.62-30624.01 mg/kg in refuse, while 3961.59-4497.12 ng/L and 9.16-10.82 mg/L in detected leachates. Among them, Ten of fourteen antibiotics were relatively higher in aged refuse, and contrary results were presented in most detected metals. Three ARGs (sul1, ermB and sul2) and intl1 were found with a higher abundance across all detected samples. Network analysis indicated that the abundance of tetM and tetQ in refuse were positively correlated with corresponding antibiotics doxycycline (DC) and oxytetracycline (OTC), respectively (P < 0.05). Similarly, ermB and blaCTX-M in leachates were respectively related with corresponding roxithromycin (RTM) and cefalexin (CEF), (P < 0.01). Moreover, Cu exhibited positive and significant correlations with sul1, mexF and intl1 in all refuse and leachates (P < 0.05). Mantel test indicated that the quantified intl1 was closely correlated with detected contents of ARGs (Mantel test, R = 0.48, P < 0.05), and the highly abundant intl1 were correlated with sul1 (P < 0.001) and blaCTX-M (P < 0.05) across all samples.

Natural colloidal particles (NCPs), ubiquitous in seawater and important carriers for most environmental contaminants, could affect the transportation and transformation of contaminants in the aquatic environment. This research focused on the photochemical transformation behaviors and mechanisms of tetracycline (TC) and oxytetracycline (OTC) in the presence of NCPs from the surface water in the intertidal zones of Yellow River Delta. Results showed that TCs could undergo the direct and indirect photochemical transformations, and were well fitted pseudo-first-order degradation kinetics. Compared with pure water, the photochemical transformations of TCs were enhanced by 1-3 times by NCPs. The photochemical transformations of TCs were accelerated with increasing pH (2.0-11.0) in pure water, but the presence of NCPs slightly depressed the effect of pH. At the low salinity, NCPs accelerated the photochemical transformations, however, there was no influence at the high salinity. Under light irradiation, TC mainly underwent indirect photolysis through the excited state colloidal organic matter (3COM*), while direct photolysis mainly occurred for OTC. NCPs affected both pathways and yields of TC transformations, but they only affected intermediates yields of OTC. This paper has revealed that NCPs play a significant role in photochemical transformations of tetracycline antibiotics.

Abstract
The main prerequisite of an active visible-light-driven photocatalyst is to effectively utilize the visible light to induce electron-hole (e-/h+) pairs of expanded lifetime. To this end, for the first time, the ternary heterojunctions of CeO2/Fe3O4 /Graphene oxide and Ce3+/ Fe3O4 /Graphene oxide (CeO2/Fe3O4/GO and Fe2.8Ce0.2O4/GO) were prepared via facile ultrasonic-assisted procedures and employed for destruction of oxytetracycline (OTC) under visible light irradiation. The changes in the relative crystal structure, morphology, atomic and surface functional group composition, magnetic, and optic properties of magnetite were uncovered by various techniques. The substantial degradation and mineralization of OTC via visible light/Fe2.8Ce0.2O4/GO system were thoroughly discussed in terms of narrowed band gap energy, the principal function of Ce3+/Ce4+ and Fe2+/Fe3+ redox pairs and GO platelets, enhanced charge separation and transfer, and enlarged active surface area. Furthermore, the performance of visible light/Fe2.8Ce0.2O4/GO system was evaluated for treating real wastewater and its efficiency was investigated using a number of enhancers and scavengers. Finally, the generated byproducts in the course of photodegradation were determined and the oxidation pathway, photocatalytic kinetics, and plausible mechanism were proposed. The results confirmed that the introduced Ce ions and graphene oxide sheets boost the photo-catalytic efficiency of magnetite for photodegradation of OTC.

Abstract
In this work, a disposable and portable aptasensor for the fast and sensitive detection of oxytetracycline (OTC) using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)/carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (cMWCNTs)@thionine connecting complementary strand of aptamer (cDNA) as signal tags was constructed. The substrate electrode of the aptasensor was thin film gold electrode (TFGE), which have the advantages of portable and uniform performance. In the presence of OTC, OTC competed with cDNA to combine with aptamer. The bioconjugate (AuNPs/cMWCNTs/cDNA@thionine) was released from the TFGE. Thus, the electrochemical signal declined. Under optimized conditions, the aptasensor exhibited good stability, high selectivity and high sensitivity. Furthermore, the developed electrochemical aptamer-based TFGE had a wide dynamic range of 1 × 10-13-1 × 10-5 g mL-1 for target OTC with a low detection limit of 3.1 × 10-14 g mL-1 and was successfully used for the determination of OTC in chicken sample.

Abstract
In the present study, we explored the dynamics of antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, enrofloxacin, and oxytetracycline), tetracycline resistance genes (TRGs), and bacterial communities over 2013-2015 in soils fertilized conventionally or with two levels (82.5 and 165 t/ha) of compost for 12 years. In the soil receiving 165 t/ha of compost, only oxytetracycline was 46% higher than that in the conventionally fertilized soil. Transient enrichment of both tetM (20% to 9-fold) and tetK (25% to 67-fold) was observed in multiple instances immediately after the application of compost. The majority of genera which positively correlated with tetM or tetK were affiliated to Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidetes. The structural equation model analysis indicated that fertilization regimes directly affected the bacterial composition and antibiotics and had an indirect effect on the abundance of tetK and tetM via these antibiotics. In summary, this study shed light into the complex interactions between fertilization, antibiotics, and antibiotic resistance pollution in greenhouse soil.

Abstract
Although the use of antimicrobial is not allowed in bee industry according to current EU legislation, antimicrobial residues are often detected in honey doomed to human consumption. This study aims to investigate if bees living in hives located nearby tanks filled with pig manure containing residues of oxytetracycline, would naturally harvest water from it, thus contaminating their honey. Data from this experiment were compared with those originating from direct contamination with oxytetracycline through the beehive feeders. Bees did not harvest water from manure, even during the warmest days of summer. Instead, antimicrobial residues were evidenced and quantified in honey from hives directly contaminated with oxytetracycline. Interestingly, antimicrobial residues were also observed in honey from untreated hives thus suggesting that illegal treatments can cause contamination, albeit at low levels, of honey produced in legally-untreated neighboring hives.

Abstract
The feasibility of thermophilic anaerobic digestion (AD) for the attenuation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in biomass wastes under high antibiotic concentrations remains unclear. In this study, a thermophilic completely stirred digester (55 °C) was fed with municipal excess sludge spiked with increasing concentrations of oxytetracycline (OTC) (0-1000 mg/L) over a period of 280 days. Results showed that thermophilic AD could maintain stable methane production (338.40 ± 26.26 mL/d/gVS) even at an OTC dose of 1000 mg/L with the sludge phase OTC concentration reaching around 24,000 mg/kg. More important, the abundance of resistome detected by high-throughput quantitative PCR in the substrate was reduced (p < 0.01) by 55.54%-86.27% by thermophilic AD over the whole period. Partial canonical correspondence and network analyses showed that the reduction of ARGs was achieved mainly through two ways: eliminating the original hosts of ARGs in the substrate (from 41.74% ± 2.60% in the substrate to 12.08% ± 1.02% in digested sludge), and blocking the horizontal proliferation of ARGs in the digested sludge by reducing the abundance of mobile genetic elements and restricting their horizontal exchange within a small number of thermophilic genera. This study showed that thermophilic AD is feasible for the attenuation of ARGs in biomass even containing high level of OTC.
