Microbiological Journal| Zusammenfassung: | Antibiotics are used for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes in both medicine and veterinary medicine, as well as growth stimulants on farms and in aquaculture. Pollution of natural waters with antibiotics has an extremely negative impact on the environment, aquatic biosystems, and human health, leading to the formation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and antibiotic-resistant genes. The availability of antibiotics in water resources and the methods for their degradation are extremely urgent problems for Ukraine. They have significant potential for the development of aquaculture in the domestic market and may become important exporters of fish products in Europe in the future. Military aggression and the blowing up of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant exacerbated the problems with the pollution of water bodies in Ukraine, including antibiotics. Removal of antibiotics is an important problem in wastewater treatment and the preparation of drinking water for use. One of the promising methods for the destruction of antibiotics and other xenobiotics is biodegradation, in particular decomposition using activated sludge, microbial strains, degradation of antibiotics by electroactive biofilm, and enzymatic degradation of antibiotics. Aim of the work. To analyze and summarize information on antibiotic contamination of water systems and the use of microbial biotechnologies for the degradation of antibiotics in aquaculture and natural water bodies. Results. The presented work examines the most relevant methods of antibiotic degradation in aquatic ecosystems with the involvement of microbial biotechnologies. |
