Abstract

The entry of antibiotics into aquatic environments can negatively affect various organisms. However, the specific effects of antibiotics on the interactions between aquatic plants and its growth-promoting bacterial assemblages (GPBA) remain inadequately explored. Thus, this study aimed to examine the performance of mono-culture and co-culture systems, involving duckweed and its GPBA, under varying norfloxacin concentrations (0, 0.05, 0.2, 0.5, and 1 mg L^-1), to elucidate the effects of norfloxacin on the interactions between duckweed and GPBA. The results revealed that norfloxacin concentrations of ≥ 0.5 mg L^-1 significantly inhibited duckweed growth and diminished the growth-promoting abilities of GPBA by reducing the relative abundances of plant growth-promoting bacteria (e.g., Pelomonas, Ensifer, Acidovorax and Sphingomonas). Furthermore, physiological analysis of duckweed suggests that GPBA may enhance the antioxidant capacity of duckweed, thereby alleviating membrane damage induced by norfloxacin. Additionally, norfloxacin concentrations of ≥ 0.2 mg L^-1 significantly reduced nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiencies in the co-culture system. Overall, norfloxacin exerted a more pronounced negative impact on duckweed growth, microbial community and nutrient removal in the co-culture system compared to the mono-culture system, indicating that norfloxacin poses a heightened risk to the co-culture system by disrupting the interactions between duckweed and its GPBA.

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.
