The Residue of Tetracycline Antibiotics in Soil and Brassica Juncea Var . Gemmifera , and the Diversity of Soil Bacterial Community under Different Livestock Manure Treatments

Tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) are a broad-spectrum antibiotic, widely used in livestock and poultry breeding. Residue of tetracycline antibiotics in animal manure may cause changes in vegetable TCs content and soil microbial community. On the basis of the investigation and analysis of TCs pollution in the soil of main vegetable bases and the livestock manure of major large-scale farms in Chongqing, China, field experiment was conducted to study the residues of tetracycline antibiotics in Brassica juncea var. gemmifera and soil under different kinds and different dosages of livestock manures. Effects of tetracycline antibiotics on the structure and diversity of soil microbial community were also investigated by high-throughput sequencing. TCs content in soil was increased by applying livestock manure. The contents of tetracycline, oxytetracycline (OTC) and chlortetracycline (CTC) in the soil under pig manure treatment were 171.07–660.20 μg kg−1, 25.38–345.78 μg kg−1 and 170.77–707.47 μg kg−1, respectively. The contents of TC, OTC and CTC in the soil under the treatment of chicken manure were 166.62–353.61 μg kg−1, 122.25–251.23 μg kg−1 and 15.12–80.91 μg kg−1, respectively. TCs in edible parts of Brassica juncea var. gemmifera was increased after livestock manure treatment Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, Chioroflexi and Bacteroidetes under livestock manure treatment were the dominant phyla, accounting for 85.2–92.4
