Phytoremediation is an environmentally friendly and economical method for removing organic contaminants from water. The purpose of the present study was to use for the phytoremediation of water from sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and trimethoprim (TRI) residues. The experiment was conducted for 14 days, in which the loss of the pharmaceuticals in water and their concentration in plant tissues was monitored. Determination of SMX and TRI was conducted using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. The results revealed that various factors affected the removal of the contaminants from water, and their bioaccumulation coefficients were obtained. Additionally, the transformation products of SMX and TRI were identified. The observed decrease in SMX and TRI content after 14 days was 96.0% and 75.4% in water, respectively. SMX removal mainly involved photolysis and hydrolysis processes, whereas TRI was mostly absorbed by the plant. Bioaccumulation coefficients of the freeze-dried plant were in the range of 0.043-0.147 for SMX and 2.369-2.588 for TRI. Nine and six transformation products related to SMX and TRI, respectively, were identified in water and plant tissues. The detected transformation products stemmed from metabolic transformations and photolysis of the parent compounds.

Organic pollutants can alter the physicochemical properties and microbial communities of water bodies. In water contaminated with organic pollutants, the unique extracellular electron transfer mechanisms that promote sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation in tri-electrode microbial electrochemical systems (TE-MES) may be impacted. To simulate biodegradable organic matter contamination, glucose (GLU) was added.

The DNA repair scaffold SLX4 has multifaceted roles in genome stability, many of which depend on structure-selective endonucleases. SLX4 coordinates the cell cycle-regulated assembly of SLX1, MUS81-EME1, and XPF-ERCC1 into a tri-nuclease complex called SMX. Mechanistically, how the mitotic kinase CDK1 regulates the interaction between SLX4 and MUS81-EME1 remains unclear.

Oxidation of phenolic acids (PCs) by laccase could produce various kinds of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which is expected to have substantial impact on the transformation of antibiotics like sulfamethoxazole (SMX) in soil and aquatic environments. In this study, the formation of semiquinones radical (SQ), superoxide anion radical (O), hydrogen peroxide (HO), hydroxyl radical (OH), and singlet oxygen (O) in a laccase-gallic acid (GA) reaction system was confirmed. Meanwhile, GA would be transformed to its monomeric quinone and quinones of di- and tri-polymers.
