Physiological responses and phytoremediation capacity of floating and submerged aquatic macrophytes exposed to ciprofloxacin
2023
Overview
Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) water contamination is a global concern, having reached disturbing concentrations and threatening the aquatic ecosystems. We investigated the physiological responses and Cipro-phytoremediation capacity of one floating (
Salvinia molesta
D.S. Mitchell) and one submerged (
Egeria densa
Planch.) species of aquatic macrophytes. The plants were exposed to increased concentrations of Cipro (0, 1, 10, and 100 µg.Cipro.L
−1
) in artificially contaminated water for 96 and 168 h. Although the antibiotic affected the activities of mitochondrial electron transport chain enzymes, the resulting increases in H

concentrations were not associated with oxidative damage or growth reductions, mainly due to the activation of antioxidant systems for both species. In addition to being tolerant to Cipro, after only 96 h, plants were able to reclaim more than 58% of that from the media. The phytoremediation capacity did not differ between the species, however, while

E. densa
appears to metabolize Cipro in their tissues. Both macrophytes are indicated for Cipro-phytoremediation projects.
