The changes of bacterial communities and antibiotic resistance genes in microbial fuel cells during long-term oxytetracycline processing.
Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is regarded as a promising alternative for enhancing the removal of antibiotic pollutants. In this study, oxytetracycline served as an electron donor in the anode chamber of MFCs, and after continuous operation for 330 days, the efficiency of removal of 10 mg/L oxytetracycline in MFCs increased to 99.00% in 78 h, whereas removal efficiency of only 58.26% was achieved in microbial controls. Compared to microbial controls, higher ATP concentration and persistent electrical stimulation mainly contributed to bioelectrochemical reactions more rapidly to enhance oxytetracycline removal in MFCs. In addition, the analysis of bacterial communities revealed that Eubacterium spp.-as the main functional bacterial genus responsible for oxytetracycline biodegradation-flourished starting from merely 0.00%-91.69% ± 0.27% (mean ± SD) in MFCs. High-throughput quantitative PCR showed that the normalized copy numbers of total antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and mobile genetic elements in MFCs were 1.7364 and 0.0065 copies/cell respectively, which were markedly lower than those in the microbial controls. Furthermore, there was no significant correlation between oxytetracycline concentration in the influent and abundance of ARGs in effluent from MFCs. Nevertheless, Tp614, a transposase gene, was found to be enriched in both MFCs and microbial reactors, suggesting that it may be a common challenge for different biological processes for wastewater treatment. This study therefore showed a lower probability of upregulation and transmission of ARGs in MFCs when compared to a traditional anaerobic microbial treatment.Weifu Yan, Yunyan Guo, Yong Xiao, Shuhua Wang, Rui Ding, Jiaqi Jiang, Haiyin Gang, Han Wang, Jun Yang, Feng Zhao

Cow excrements enhance the occurrence of tetracycline resistance genes in soil regardless of their oxytetracycline content.
Fertilizing soils with animal excrements from farms with common antibiotic use represents a risk of disseminating antibiotic resistance genes into the environment. In the case of tetracycline antibiotics, it is not clear, however, whether the presence of antibiotic residues further enhances the gene occurrence in manured soils. We established a microcosm experiment in which 3 farm soils that had no recent history of fertilization with animal excrements were amended on a weekly basis (9 times) with excrements from either an oxytetracycline-treated or an untreated cow. Throughout the study, the concentration of oxytetracycline in excrements from the treated cow was above 500 μg g(-1)dw, whereas no oxytetracycline was detected in excrements from the healthy cow. Both excrements contained tetracycline resistance (TC-r) genes tet(L), tet(M), tet(V), tet(Z), tet(Q) and tet(W). The excrements from the treated cow also contained the tet(B) gene, and a higher abundance of tet(Z), tet(Q) and tet(W). Three weeks after the last excrement addition, the individual TC-r genes differed in their persistence in soil: tet(Q) and tet(B) were not detectable while tet(L), tet(M), tet(Z) and tet(W) were found in all 3 soils. There were, however, no significant differences in the total number, nor in the abundance, of TC-r genes between soil samples amended with each excrement type. The oxytetracycline-rich and the oxytetracycline-free excrement therefore contributed equally to the increase of tetracycline resistome in soil. Our results indicate that other mechanisms than OTC-selection pressure may be involved in the maintenance of TC-r genes in manured soils.Martina Kyselková, Jiří Jirout, Alica Chroňáková, Naděžda Vrchotová, Robert Bradley, Heike Schmitt, Dana Elhottová
