Removal of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim from reclaimed water and the biodegradation mechanism
Abstract
The artificial composite soil treatment system could efficiently remove SMX and TMP by biodegradation mechanism. Bacillus subtilis from column reactors degraded SMX and TMP efficiently. Bacillus subtilis biodegrades TMP to NH4+, and then converts NH4+ to NO3–.
