Easily biodegradable substrates are crucial for enhancing antibiotic risk reduction: Low-carbon discharging policies need to be more specified

Exploring an Efficient and Eco-Friendly Signaling Molecule and Its Quorum Quenching Ability for Controlling Microcystis Blooms

“…The safety of QSIs must be a concern because they may negatively affect the activity and survival of microorganisms and the microbial community and their functions. Luminous bacteria, seed germination, and zebrafish egg responses were investigated as a means for evaluating the biotoxicity of chemicals. ,, To evaluate the potential adverse environmental impacts of QSIs applied in this M. aeruginosa experiments, the optimized effective inhibition concentration (Figure a) of QSIs was utilized for the biotoxicity experiments.…”

“…Q67 were rejuvenated and mixed with a 20 μM QSIs solution. After 15 min, the luminescent intensity was measured with a drinking water safety rapid detector (BHP9514, Hamamatasu, China) Vigna radiata) were purchased from the local supermarket, and for each Petri dish, 15 seeds were arranged on filter paper containing 20 μM QSI.…”

“…After 15 min, the luminescent intensity was measured with a drinking water safety rapid detector (BHP9514, Hamamatasu, China). 24 Seed germination test: Mung beans (Vigna radiata) were purchased from the local supermarket, and for each Petri dish, 15 seeds were arranged on filter paper containing 20 μM QSI. The dishes were incubated in the dark at 25 °C.…”

“…Luminous bacteria, seed germination, and zebrafish egg responses were investigated as a means for evaluating the biotoxicity of chemicals. 24,25,47 To evaluate the potential adverse environmental impacts of QSIs applied in this M. aeruginosa experiments, the optimized effective inhibition concentration (Figure 2a) of QSIs was utilized for the biotoxicity experiments. FB presented a high biotoxicity and was not suitable for practical application in a water environment: the fluorescence inhibition of luminous bacteria The high inhibitory effect of FB is partly attributed to the toxification brought out by its bromide properties.…”

Sustainable agricultural practices contribute significantly to One Health

“…Therefore, there is an urgent need to optimise the practices of recycling nutrients for more sustainable crop production. A recent study on the wastewater treatment plant suggested that easily biodegradable substances like sodium acetate (NaAc) can significantly reduce antibiotics, mobile genetic element mediated ARGs, and the abundance of human bacterial pathogens (Zhang et al, 2022). Biochar, a commonly used soil amendment, has also been reported to be effective in reducing the potential of ARG spread when used in organic fertiliser composting (Chen et al, 2018).…”
