Article Synopsis
- - This study is the first to explore how to effectively oxidize two sulfonamide antibiotics, sulfadimethoxine (SDM) and sulfamonomethoxine (SMM), using a new laccase and different mediators.
- - Optimal conditions for the laccase-mediator system varied by mediator but generally included specific pH levels and temperatures, with ABTS and VLA having lower toxicity during processing compared to SIR.
- - The laccase demonstrated stability and resistance to dialysis, making it suitable for reuse in the oxidation process, which is advantageous for efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
In this study, the transformation of sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs, 50 mg L(-1)) was investigated in systems consisting of a fungal laccase (6 IU) and six mediators (1mM). The results illustrate that the laccase had limited effect on the removal of sulfadimethoxine and sulfamonomethoxine. However, laccase oxidation with the mediators (LMS) led to significant declines of the SAs.
