Actinomycetes are an important source of secondary metabolites such as antibiotics and other active natural products. Many well-known antibiotics, such as streptomycin, oxytetracycline, and tetracycline, are produced by actinomycetes. Different types of antibiotics have distinct mechanisms of action against microorganisms: inhibit protein synthesis, inhibit nucleic acid synthesis, or inhibit cell wall synthesis.

The misuse of tetracycline in livestock farming leads to environmental residues that promote the proliferation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), particularly tetracycline resistance (tet) genes. Black soldier fly (BSF) larvae, used for organic waste bioconversion, may carry tetracycline residues in their guts, raising concerns about ARG spread. To address this issue, plant-derived additives such as lavender essential oil (LEO) have been explored as alternative antibiotics.

Oxytetracycline (OTC) and Florfenicol (FF) are prevalent antibiotics choices in both fish production and livestock farming. A comprehensive understanding of their effects is paramount for effective control of their use and for elucidating their physiological and pharmacological implications. In our investigation, zebrafish larvae were subjected to varying concentrations of OTC, FF or a combination of OTC + FF during 96 h.

Ciprofloxacin (CIP) and oxytetracycline (OTC) are commonly detected antibiotic species in breeding wastewater, and microalgae-based antibiotic treatment technology is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective method for its removal. This study evaluated the effects of CIP and OTC on Scenedesmus sp. in the breeding wastewater tailwater and the removal mechanisms of antibiotics.

Oxytetracycline (OTC), a crop-absorbable antibiotic, poses a health risk to humans through the food chain. Conversely, 24-epibrassinolide (EBL), a plant growth hormone, mitigates the toxic effects of various pollutants on plants. However, the mechanism by which exogenous EBL affects the growth of rape seedlings exposed to OTC remains largely unknown.
