Simultaneous removal of nutrient and sulfonamides from marine aquaculture wastewater by concentrated and attached cultivation of Chlorella vulgaris in an algal biofilm membrane photobioreactor (BF-MPBR)
“…The reduction of sulfadiazine in the MBMP during its stable operation was up to 61-79.2%. It can be considered that the performance of the MBMP is higher than the one achieved by traditional batch cultivation [18]. The removal of sulfamethoxazole by a batch culture of microalgae c. vulgaris was 34.07% after 12 days of concentration in marine aquaculture wastewater (against 3.33% without microalgae).…”

“…Sulfonamides are used as chemotherapeutics to treat various bacterial infections in veterinary medicine [5]. Due to their broadspectrum antimicrobial activity and low cost, they were among the most applied antibiotics and thus, commonly detected in aquaculture wastewater [18]. Currently, only a few drugs belonging to sulfonamides are used due to the developed resistance in previously susceptible microorganisms.…”
Aquaculture is a growing industry with a high demand mainly due to its significant contribution to the food sector. One of the main challenges of aquaculture is the prevention and treatment of fish diseases through the extensive application of antibiotics. However, information on the various consequences of pharmaceuticals in fish farms remains limited to this day. Based on the existing scientific literature, this report aims to give an overview of the most commonly used antibiotics in aquaculture, which belong to the groups of quinolones, sulfonamides, tetracyclines, amphenicols and macrolides. This review paper summarizes the information available on the characterization, ecotoxicology and application of florfenicol, erythromycin, furazolidone, oxolinic acid, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, sulfadiazine, sulfadimethoxine, sulfamethoxazole, oxytetracycline and tetracycline.

“…From many processing experiments, microbes such as microalgae is the leading aspect, Euglena sanguinea due to its presence of superior combustion characteristics were able to produce biodiesel that blends with the regular agricultural diesel engine till 40% by extracting lipid from the algal biomass [27]. A heterogeneous nano-catalyst Ca(OCH 3 ) 2 , a novel reactive distillation column is experimented for algal biodiesel production optimized by maximizing biodiesel purity by NSGA-II, non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm, designed both for low cost production and CO 2 emissions [28]. For another substitute yield of biodiesel an experiment conducted between Chlorella sorokiniana and Monoraphidium sp.…”
Section: Microalgae As a Sustainable Future Biofuel Approachmentioning
In this review, it is discussed the prominent effect generated from aquaculture wastewater considered as the major water polluting crisis in the entire world. The cause rose due to intense development and improvement in aquaculture by the aquatic habitat species triggering quite a challenge in the environment. Scrutinizing this problem, researchers have found a way to tackle it by cultivating algal species in aquaculture wastewater in order to remove its high content of organic and inorganic pollutants. The theory proves wastewater serves as a nutrient source for algal growth and development such as phosphorous, nitrogen, and other trace elements. Besides harvesting the algal biomass from aquaculture wastewater, the extraction of lipid is also processed for biofuel production. Hence, the discussion includes conversion of wastewater into organic and inorganic pollutant-free water with low cost-effective method via algal cultivation in wastewater and high lipid yield for biofuel with a carbon-free and sustainable environment.
“…The concentrations of sulfonamide antibiotics per liter of wastewater range mostly from nanogram to microgram levels. However, with the continuing use of these antibiotics, the residual concentrations of these antibiotics can reach milligram levels [ 13 , 14 , 15 ], which can be potentially dangerous to the aquatic environment and can also adversely affect phytoremediation. Sulfadiazine (SD) is a sulfonamide antibiotic whose presence was reported to hamper phytoremediation and restrain plant growth [ 16 ].…”
Plant-based removal of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from water bodies is an important method for remediation of aquaculture wastewater. In order to acquire knowledge as to how antibiotic residues in wastewater might affect the microbial community and plant uptake of N and P, this study investigated N and P removal by a coastal plant Sesuvium portulacastrum L. grown in aquaculture wastewater treated with 0, 1, 5, or 50 mg/L sulfonamide antibiotics (sulfadiazine, SD) for 28 days and compared the microbial community structure between the water and rhizosphere. Results showed that SD significantly decreased N removal rates from 87.5% to 22.1% and total P removal rates from 99.6% to 85.5%. Plant fresh weights, root numbers, and moisture contents as well as activities of some enzymes in leaves were also reduced. SD changed the microbial community structure in water, but the microbial community structure in the rhizosphere was less affected by SD. The microbial diversity in water was higher than that in the rhizosphere, indicating microbial community differences. Our results showed that the commonly used antibiotic, SD, in aquaculture can inhibit plant growth, change the structure of microbial community, and reduce the capacity of S. portulacastrum plants to remove N and P from wastewater, and also raised alarm about detrimental effects of antibiotic residues in phytoremediation of wastewater.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
