The presence of in situ sulphamethoxazole degraders and their interactions with other microbes in activated sludge as revealed by DNA stable isotope probing and molecular ecological network analysis

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are the main hotspots for the release of antibiotics, including the widely used sulphonamides. Microbes play important roles in eliminating sulphonamides in WWTPs, and knowledge about these degraders and their interactions within the microbial community is crucial...
