the species under the stress of SMX and simulated-sunlight Metagenome

With the help of photolysis processes, UV and reactive oxygen species (ROS) enriched the SMX removal route, which resulted in the fact that the SMX removal pathway in the L-MABR was no longer limited to enzyme catalysis. More importantly, attributable to functional bacteria inactivation, whether in effluent or biofilm, the copy number of ARGs in the L-MABR was 1-3 orders of magnitude lower than that in the MABR. This paper demonstrated the feasibility of utilizing simulated-sunlight to enhance antibiotic removal efficiency while reducing the ARGs production, which provided a new idea for the removal of antibiotic from wastewater.
