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

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

Preparation and evaluation of a tryptophan based hypercrosslinked porous polymer as an efficient adsorbent for pipette tip solid-phase extraction of sulfonamides. Food Chem 2024; 435:137536. [PMID: 37776656 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.137536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Revised: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/02/2023]
Abstract
A novel tryptophan-based porous polymer is designed and synthesized via a facile one-step hypercrosslinking polymerization process, and applied as sorbent for extraction of trace sulfonamides in foodstuffs. The developed polymer has high surface area, large conjugate system, and abundant functional groups (e.g., π-π stacking, hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic and electrostatic attraction interactions), which endow it with superior affinity and high adsorption capacity for sulfonamides (16.16-59.29 mg g-1). The optimized SPE method is coupled with HPLC-DAD to create a sensitive and efficient protocol that provides good linearity (R2 ≥ 0.9979), low limits of detection, satisfactory recoveries (92.5-109.5 %) and high precisions (RSDs < 8.24). In addition, the newly proposed method greatly reduces the amount of adsorbent (2.0 mg) and organic solvent (2.0 mL) used. Adsorption kinetics, isotherms, and simulation calculations studies further reveal the presence of monolayer adsorption, chemical adsorption process, and multiple interactions. Thus, this work presents a polymer capable of multiple interactions for the pretreatment of trace sulfonamides in foodstuffs.

Adsorption of tetracycline by polycationic straw: Density functional theory calculation for mechanism and machine learning prediction for tetracyclines' remediation. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 340:122869.

Abstract
The abuse of antibiotics causes serious environmental pollution, whose removal has become a hot topic. The adsorption of tetracycline (TC) on a prepared polycationic straw (MMS) was investigated. The kinetic, thermodynamic and adsorption isotherm models showed that adsorption of TC by MMS was a spontaneous, monolayer reaction with coexistence of physical and chemical process. Density functional theory indicated that the adsorption of TC resulted from electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonds, which proved the mechanism of TC by macromolecular biomass for the first time. The expected and empirical values of TC adsorption showed a high fit degree, through predication of machine learning, indicating the feasibility and avoiding lots of experiments. Further, the adsorption ability of MMS to other TCs was predicted, founding that the highest removal efficiency was doxycycline, which provides a novel strategy for removal of other pollution and reduce of economic and time cost in practical application.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:24398-24407. [PMID: 36344886 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-022-23855-3] [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: 06/23/2022] [Accepted: 10/23/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
This study elaborates the simultaneous removal of three different fluoroquinolones (FQs), i.e., Norfloxacin (NOR), Lomefloxacin (LOM), and Enrofloxacin (ENR) from water using hydrogel beads of humic acid coated biochar (HA-BC) and chitosan. In our previous study, this adsorbent has already achieved tremendous results for the removal of a single FQ, i.e., ciprofloxacin. Now, initial concentrations of all FQs were set 100 mg/L each, and the maximum adsorbed amounts were 38.08 mg/g (NOR), 25.03 mg/g (LOM), and 29.72 mg/g (ENR). Adsorption attained equilibrium after 24 h, which obeyed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The mutation of humic acid-biochar/chitosan hydrogel beads (HBCB) with alcoholic solvents, i.e., methanol and ethanol to replace water decreased its sorption capacities from 38.08 mg/g (NOR) to 34.91 mg/g and 32.19 mg/g, respectively. Similarly, from 25.03 mg/g (LOM) to 22.81 mg/g and 19.91 mg/g, and 29.72 mg/g (ENR) to 26.52 mg/g and 24.64 mg/g. Adsorption isotherm data for all FQs were up to both Langmuir and Freundlich, but it suited more to that of Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. Sorption capacities, for all FQs, had a minor decline due to addition of NaCl, NaNO3, and Na2SO4. However, there was a huge decline when Na3PO4 was added into the adsorption system. Adsorbent was desorbed and regenerated for consecutive removal, and it showed good adsorption in the 4th cycle, i.e., 47 mg/g net adsorption. These results prove that HBCB is not only effective for adsorption removal of ciprofloxacin but also for other FQs too.
