Abstract:

Tetracycline-containing wastewater widely exists in environment,and it has attracted much attention due to issues such as resistance gene transmission,human drug resistance,etc. After comparing the ability of bacteria degrading tetracycline,the co-culture system mainly with strain Raoultella sp. XY-1 and strain Pandoraea sp. XY-2 was clearly constructed. Then this system was applied in actual wastewater for bioremediation,and the removal efficiency of pollutants and bacterial community changes were recorded. The results showed that degradation percentage by this co-culture system for 10 d was > 80% in glucose medium with 80 mg/L tetracycline. The co-culture system presents a favorable effect on the removal of pollutants from actual tetracycline-containing wastewater,and the results by high-through sequencing community indicated that the strain Raoultella sp. XY-1 became the dominant bacterium.

Key words: tetracycline wastewater, bioremediation, microbial co-culture, bacteria community
