Article Synopsis
- - This study examined how effectively Salvinia biloba can remove Ciprofloxacin (CIP) from water, finding a 98% removal rate at a concentration of 4 mg/L.
- - Results indicated that low CIP concentrations boosted the growth of S. biloba, while high concentrations led to growth inhibition and oxidative stress.
- - The research highlighted the impact of CIP on root microbial communities and proposed five degradation pathways for CIP, emphasizing that biodegradation was the key method for removal and suggesting S. biloba's potential in treating antibiotic-contaminated water.

Article Synopsis
- The widespread use of antibiotics has led to the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and their resistance genes (ARGs) across various environments, with traditional wastewater treatment methods being ineffective in fully disinfecting these contaminants.
- Photocatalytic oxidation is emerging as a promising disinfection technology, utilizing free radicals generated from light to eliminate ARB and degrade ARGs in wastewater.
- This review outlines the advancements in photocatalytic oxidation, evaluates various treatment systems, and discusses the role of specific materials like TiO and g-CN in enhancing the removal of ARB and ARGs while suggesting future research directions for improving this technology.
