Most antibiotics are prone to release to the environment due to improper usage. The present
study reports the biodegradation Amoxicillin (AMX) and Sulfonamide (SDI) by Bacillus cereus,
Enterobacter ludwigii and Enterobacter sp. strains. These trains were previously reported to be
degraders o f crude oil. Different concentrations o f AMX and SDI (0 - 420 ppm) were used to detect
Minimum Inhibition Concentration (MIC) by 96 well plate method. Removal o f the antibiotic was studied
by introducing 0.5ml o f starved bacterial suspensions into sterilized freshwater containing each antibiotic
at 60ppm and 120ppm accordingly and incubated at 28°C with shaking at 1 OOrpm. 0.5ml sample aliquots
were removed at 2 days interval for 14 days and analyzed by HPLC. The MIC values for SDI and AMX
were recorded as 240ppm, 420 ppm for B. cereus, 120 ppm, 360 ppm for E. ludwigii and 180 ppm and
300ppm for Enterobacter sp., respectively. B. cereus strain completely removed AMX and 80% o f SDI
after 14 days o f incubation.£. ludwigii showed 75% degradation for AMX and 60% for SDI, whilst,
Enterobacter sp. degraded 80% (AMX) and 70% (SDI) respectively. Therefore these bacterial strains
could be used as a useful bioremediation tool in the removal o f antibiotics, contamination in the
environment. |
