Abstract
Sulfonamides are receiving increased attention due to their persistence in the environment and potential ecological risks. However, there are currently relatively few studies on the toxicity response of aquatic plants grown under the single and mixed planting methods to sulfadiazine (SD). This study investigated the response of the Vallisneria natans (Lour.) Hara (V. natans) and the Pistia stratiotes L. (P. stratiotes) to SD toxicity under single and mixed planting methods. The findings demonstrated that under the mixed planting method, 0.3 μg/L SD significantly reduced the biomass of V. natans (p < 0.05) while increasing the biomass of P. stratiotes. Under the single planting method, the chlorophyll a content of V. natans and P. stratiotes showed the highest value when exposed to 0.3 μg/L SD. The chlorophyll b content of V. natans and P. stratiotes was higher in the single planting method compared to mixed planting method. In single planting, V. natans exhibited the highest superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity when exposed to high concentrations of SD (3.0 μg/L). However, under the mixed planting method, the SOD activity of V. natans and P. stratiotes reduced at 0.3 μg/L SD. P. stratiotes showed increased malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activities at 3.0 μg/L SD under the single planting method. The comprehensive stress resistance ranking was as follows: single planting (V. natans) > mixed planting (P. stratiotes) > mixed planting (V. natans) > single planting (P. stratiotes). Moreover, exposure to SD downregulated the cell motility metabolic pathway of V. natans and P. stratiotes, particularly under the mixed planting method, to increase the resistance of V. natans and P. stratiotes to SD exposure. Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes were the dominant phyla. This study provides basic data and scientific support for the selection of plants for remediation of higher SD polluted waters using ecological remediation.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Hazardous Materials serves as a global platform for promoting cutting-edge research in the field of Environmental Science and Engineering. Our publication features a wide range of articles, including full-length research papers, review articles, and perspectives, with the aim of enhancing our understanding of the dangers and risks associated with various materials concerning public health and the environment. It is important to note that the term "environmental contaminants" refers specifically to substances that pose hazardous effects through contamination, while excluding those that do not have such impacts on the environment or human health. Moreover, we emphasize the distinction between wastes and hazardous materials in order to provide further clarity on the scope of the journal. We have a keen interest in exploring specific compounds and microbial agents that have adverse effects on the environment.
