Construction of a Tetracycline Degrading Bacterial Consortium and Its Application Evaluation in Laboratory-Scale Soil Remediation.

ABSTRACT: As an environmental pollutant, tetracycline (TC) can persist in the soil for years and damage the ecosystem. So far, many methods have been developed to handle the TC contamination. Microbial remediation, which involves the use of microbes to biodegrade the pollutant, is considered cost-efficient and more suitable for practical application in soil. This study isolated several strains from TC-contaminated soil and constructed a TC-degrading bacterial consortium containing Raoultella sp. XY-1 and Pandoraea sp. XY-2, which exhibited better growth and improved TC degradation efficiency compared with single strain (81.72% TC was biodegraded within 12 days in Lysogeny broth (LB) medium). Subsequently, lab-scale soil remediation was conducted to evaluate its effectiveness in differe
