AbstractHeightened concerns regarding the potential impact on soil and water quality of veterinary antibiotics warrant a better understanding of the environmental fate of antibiotics in soil. Sorption of the macrolides tylosin A (TA), tylosin D, and TA‐aldol was measured in several soils and evaluated with respect to soil pH, organic matter content, percentage clay, and cation‐exchange capacity (CEC). Tylosin and related compounds exhibit similar sorption characteristics and generally are strongly sorbed, with sorption being well and positively correlated to surface area, clay content, and CEC. Sorption coefficients normalized by CEC were within a narrow range (104.1±0.21 L/molc) for all but one soil; however, good extraction recoveries with only methanol for most soils suggested that hydrophobic processes also contribute to sorption. Aerobic degradation of TA over a three‐month period in two freshly collected agricultural soils and 60Co‐irradiated soils indicated that both abiotic and microbial processes contribute to TA transformation. The abiotic process was much slower and dominated in the first two weeks, followed by rapid microbial degradation within 3 d. Three primary degradation products were identified using liquid chromatography with full‐scan mass spectrometry, with unconfirmed identifications of TA having the aldehyde group oxidized to an acid (m/z = 932) in both soils and tyslosin B (m/z = 772) as well as tylosin B having the aldehyde group oxidized to an acid (m/z = 788) in the sandy soil.
摘要人们日益关注兽用抗生素对土壤和水质的潜在影响,因此需要更好地了解抗生素在土壤中的环境归宿。在几种土壤中测量了大环内酯类药物泰乐菌素 A (TA)、泰乐菌素 D 和 TA-aldol 的吸附性,并根据土壤 pH 值、有机物含量、粘土百分比和阳离子交换容量 (CEC) 进行了评估。泰乐菌素和相关化合物表现出相似的吸附特性,通常具有很强的吸附性,吸附性与表面积、粘土含量和阳离子交换容量呈良好的正相关。除一种土壤外,所有土壤的吸附系数(以 CEC 归一化)都在很小的范围内(104.1±0.21 L/molc);然而,大多数土壤仅用甲醇就能获得很好的萃取回收率,这表明疏水过程也有助于吸附。在两个新采集的农业土壤和 60Co-irradiated 土壤中,TA 在三个月内的有氧降解表明,非生物过程和微生物过程都有助于 TA 的转化。非生物过程要慢得多,在头两周内占主导地位,随后在 3 d 内迅速发生微生物降解。使用液相色谱法和全扫描质谱法确定了三种主要降解产物,在两种土壤中,醛基被氧化成酸(m/z = 932)的 TA 和沙质土壤中的泰乐菌素 B(m/z = 772)以及醛基被氧化成酸(m/z = 788)的泰乐菌素 B 均未被证实。
