摘要
随着抗生素在长江流域的广泛使用,抗生素污染日渐加剧.抗生素的普遍存在可能对生态系统带来危害,环境选择压力对流域环境微生物的群落结构和功能具有潜在影响.本研究选择磺胺甲恶唑(SMX)为典型抗生素,以崇明岛东滩沉积物为研究对象,通过不同浓度水平抗生素长期(60 d)暴露的模拟实验,结合高通量测序与同位素示踪技术,探究了不同温度下抗生素暴露对河口水体和沉积物中微生物群落结构和氮转化过程的影响机制.潜在的氮转化速率定量测试结果表明,SMX在0.5~5μg·L^(-1)的浓度范围内,对河口沉积物中氮转化过程有显著影响,SMX的长期暴露(30~45 d)会显著抑制反硝化和厌氧氨氧化(anammox)过程;进一步延长暴露时间(60 d),SMX的抑制效果减弱.此外,低温(15℃)下反硝化和anammox对SMX的负响应更显著;同等浓度SMX暴露条件下,低温组中(15℃)SMX暴露组与对照组潜在的反硝化/anammox速率差比高温组(25℃)高14%~18%/2%~10%.30 d时,SMX暴露组沉积物中特有物种数量比对照组高17%;线性混合模型结果显示,温度对变形菌门影响更加明显,而SMX则对绿弯菌门有显著负效应.本研究有助于厘清痕量抗生素长期暴露对长江河口地区氮转化的影响机制,并为流域抗生素控制提供技术支撑.
With the widespread use of antibiotics in the Yangtze River Basin,antibiotic pollution is becoming increasingly severe.The pervasive presence of antibiotics may pose risks to ecosystems.Additionally,environmental selection pressures can potentially impact the community structure and functions of microorganisms in the river basin.This study conducted a long-term(60 d)sulfamethoxazole(SMX)exposure simulation experiment at different SMX concentration levels and different temperatures with the sediments of Dongtan on Chongming Island.Combining high-throughput sequencing with isotope tracing techniques,the mechanisms by which antibiotic exposure affects the microbial community structure and nitrogen transformation processes in estuarine waters and sediments under different temperatures were investigated.Quantitative determination of nitrogen transformation rates showed that SMX,within a concentration range of 0.5~5μg·L^(-1),significantly affected nitrogen transformation processes in estuarine sediments.Long-term exposure to SMX(30~45 d)significantly inhibited denitrification and anaerobic ammonia oxidation(anammox)processes.Extending the exposure to 60 days,SMX′s inhibitory effects diminished.Furthermore,at lower temperatures(15℃),the negative responses to SMX exposure for the denitrification and anaerobic ammonia oxidation(anammox)processes were more significant.Under the same concentration of SMX exposure,the potential denitrification/anammox rates difference between the SMX exposure samples at low-temperature group(15℃)with the control group was 14%~18%/2%~10%more that at the high-temperature group(25℃).After 30 days,the sediment of the SMX-exposed group contained 17%more unique species than that in the control group.A linear mixed model revealed that temperature impacted the abundance of Proteobacteria more significantly than other phylum,whereas SMX exerted a notable negative effect on Chloroflexi.This study helped to clarify the mechanisms by which trace antibiotics influence nitrogen transformation in
