Effect of feeding conditions on the degradation of tetracycline in sewage sludge by earthworm

Tetracycline degradation in the Fe3O4@HKUST-1/persulfate system: properties, activation mechanism, and degradation pathways

“…The degradation experiments were performed in a dark environment at room temperature (25 ± 1 °C) with continuous shaking for 180 min in a 250 mL beaker containing 100 mL of a 400 mg L −1 TC solution. Moreover, the effects of different oxidants, PS concentration (1-9 mmol L −1 ), catalyst dosage (0.1-0.9 g L −1 ), pH (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9), and repetitions were investigated. At each stage, the optimal values of the desired parameters were obtained by changing only one variable and keeping all other variables constant.…”

“…[2][3][4] Prolonged antibiotic abuse and accumulation may lead to the development of drug-resistant bacteria and their genetic mutations. 5,6 Owing to their long-term stability and wide distribution, 7 they are frequently detected in a variety of aquatic environments and sediments worldwide. 3 In 2020, tetracycline (TC) was reported to be the second-largest class of antibiotics produced and used in the world, 5 having been detected in various water environments as well as in hospital and pharmaceutical wastewater at concentrations of up to mg L −1 , posing a great threat to human health.…”

Exploring the Physical, Chemical, and Biological Properties of Soils from Different Regions Classified into Different Textural Classes

“…Soil texture affect soil physical and chemical properties (Sheng et al 2020), soil nutrients (Kusumawati et al 2020), enzyme activity and microbial population (de Freitas et al 1999; Xia et al 2020). Since soil quality depends on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil, it is imperative to take all these properties into account when evaluating soil quality (Mijangos et al 2010;Paz-Ferreiro et al 2009).…”

Effects of different earthworm ecotypes on soil nutrients distribution under straw return management in a maize agroecosystem

“…In addition, soil physical and chemical properties, earthworm feeding methods, food sources, and other factors affect the earthworm function on soil microorganisms and enzyme activity to varying extents. Xia et al (2020) demonstrated that when earthworms were fed using the swallowing feeding technique, the intestinal activity of peroxidase and microbial diversity significantly increased.…”
