Bioavailability of Soil-Sorbed Tetracycline to Escherichia coli under Unsaturated Conditions

Abstract

Increasing concentrations of anthropogenic antibiotics in soils are partly responsible for the proliferation of bacterial antibiotic resistance. However, little is known about how soil-sorbed antibiotics exert selective pressure on bacteria in unsaturated soils. This study investigated the bioavailability of tetracycline sorbed on three soils (Webster clay loam, Capac sandy clay loam, and Oshtemo loamy sand) to a fluorescent Escherichia coli bioreporter under unsaturated conditions using agar diffusion assay, microscopic visualization, and model simulation. Tetracycline sorbed on the soils could be desorbed and become bioavailable to the E. coli cells at matric water potentials of -2.95 to -13.75 kPa. Bright fluorescent rings were formed around the tetracycline-loaded soils on the unsaturated agar surfaces, likely due to radial diffusion of tetracycline desorbed from the soils, tetracycline uptake by the E. coli cells, and its inhibition on E. coli growth, which was supported by the model simulation. The bioavailability of soil-sorbed tetracycline was much higher for the Oshtemo soil, probably due to faster diffusion of tetracycline in coarse-textured soils. Decreased bioavailability of soil-sorbed tetracycline at lower soil wa...Continue Reading
