“…The behavior of sulfonamides contrasts with tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones, which interact with soil primarily through cation exchange, surface complexation and cation bridging sorption mechanisms. In general, decreases in pH resulted in increased sorption of the cationic forms of antibiotics, suggesting that electrostatic interactions are the favored sorption mechanism for sulfonamides and macrolides (Schauss et al, 2009; Hammesfahr et al, 2011; Kong et al, 2012; Teixidó et al, 2012; Sittig et al, 2014; Wegst-Uhrich et al, 2014; Fernández-Calviño et al, 2015; Wang and Wang, 2015;Liu et al, 2017).…”
Antibiotics play a key role in the management of infectious diseases in humans, animals, livestock, and aquacultures all over the world. The release of increasing amount of antibiotics into waters and soils creates a potential threat to all microorganisms in these environments. This review addresses issues related to the fate and degradation of antibiotics in soils and the impact of antibiotics on the structural, genetic and functional diversity of microbial communities. Due to the emergence of bacterial resistance to antibiotics, which is considered a worldwide public health problem, the abundance and diversity of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in soils are also discussed. When antibiotic residues enter the soil, the main processes determining their persistence are sorption to organic particles and degradation/transformation. The wide range of DT50 values for antibiotic residues in soils shows that the processes governing persistence depend on a number of different factors, e.g., physico-chemical properties of the residue, characteristics of the soil, and climatic factors (temperature, rainfall, and humidity). The results presented in this review show that antibiotics affect soil microorganisms by changing their enzyme activity and ability to metabolize different carbon sources, as well as by altering the overall microbial biomass and the relative abundance of different groups (i.e., Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria, and fungi) in microbial communities. Studies using methods based on analyses of nucleic acids prove that antibiotics alter the biodiversity of microbial communities and the presence of many types of ARGs in soil are affected by agricultural and human activities. It is worth emphasizing that studies on ARGs in soil have resulted in the discovery of new genes and enzymes responsible for bacterial resistance to antibiotics. However, many ambiguous results indicate that precise estimation of the impact of antibiotics on the activity and diversity of soil microbial communities is a great challenge.

“…Sorption in soils and sediments plays an important role in the environmental behavior and bioavailability of organic contaminants (Wang and Wang, 2015). Tetracyclines have a high adsorption to clay materials, soils, and sediments (Bao et al, 2013;ElSayed and Prasher, 2014;Fernández-Calviño et al, 2015). Several other studies demonstrated that soil/sediment organic matter plays a greater role in the sorption process than soil mineral composition (Guo et al, 2017;Qin et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2018;Zhao et al, 2012).…”
Particulate organic matter (POM) is a fraction of organic matter with dissimilar properties in different soils. POM isolated from soils and sediments (wetland, oil waste field, farmlands and aquaculture pond sediment) was used to study its sorption behavior on the antibiotic oxytetracycline (OTC). Impacts of solution pH, ionic strength and temperature on the OTC sorption were studied. The sorption rates of OTC in POM from wetland (POM-w) and farmland (POM-f1, POM-f2) were rapid during the first 3 h and gradually decreased with reaction time until reaching the equilibrium. Linear sorption occurred from 3 to 12 h in POM from oil waste field land (POM-o) and aquaculture pond sediment (POM-a). The organic carbon normalized partition coefficient (k oc ) varied from 215.0 to 4493.6 L kg −1 , and it was nearly 10× higher for the POM-w, POM-f1 and POM-f2 than in the POM-o and POM-a. Sorption of OTC by POM exhibited strong pH dependence. Ionic factors affected OTC sorption in POM-f1, POM-f2 and POM-a. The sorption capacity declined N50% in a solution with Ca 2+ compared to other ions with similar ionic strength. Sorption thermodynamics showed an entropy increasing and endothermic progress during the OTC sorption in POM, implying a spontaneous sorption process. Several mechanisms were involved in OTC sorption in POM, including hydrogen bonding, cation exchange, hydrophobic partitioning and surface complexation.

“…Recent studies investigated the adsorption/desorption of various organic matters on/from soil particles. These include, for example, the adsorption of antibodies, surfactants, fireretarding organics, and herbicides [5][6][7][8]. The use of these techniques is thwarted by the high cost of materials used for these purposes.…”
The aim of this work is to quantitatively characterize the structural response to a chemical disruption of saturated montmorillonite crystallites by organic molecules (tetracycline (TC)), derived from pharmaceutical waste. The chemical disturbance is performed by varying the surrounding soil solution pH. To show the effect of this chemical perturbation on the interlamellar space (IS) configuration and the hydration properties, an "in situ" XRD analysis, based on the modeling of the 00l reflections, is carried out. The "in situ" XRD analysis is performed by varying the relative humidity conditions (%RH). FTIR SEM and BET-(Brunauer-Emmett-Teller-) BJH (Barrett-Joyner-Halenda) analyses are used as complementary techniques to confirm the structural changes accompanying the intercalation process. Results showed a dependence between solution acid character and the TC adsorption mechanism. From pH values close to 7, the deprotonation of the TC molecule within IS is accelerated by an increasing %RH rate. IR spectroscopy shows that the structure is preserved versus pH value and only a shift of the water deformation bands ascribed to interlamellar water molecule abundance and TC conformation is observed. The surface morphology studied by SEM shows the increase in the surface porosity by increasing the pH value. BET-specific surface area and BJH pore size distribution (PSD) analyses confirm the SEM observations.
