Antibiotics have emerged as a widespread pollutant in the aquatic environment. Aquatic phytoremediation to remove antibiotic pollution in water has aroused increasing research. Due to complex interaction between aquatic plants and antibiotics in the aquatic environment, it is essential to summarize the present research progress and point out the shortcomings to better use aquatic plants to remediate antibiotic pollution. A growing body of evidence indicates roots are the most important tissues for aquatic plants to absorb and accumulate antibiotics and antibiotics can be transferred in aquatic plants. LogKow value is an important factor to affecting the antibiotic absorption by aquatic plant. The study showed that antibiotics have toxic effects on aquatic plants, including metabolic interference, oxidative damage, damage to photosynthetic system, and inhibition of growth. However, the species sensitivity distribution model indicated that the general environmental concentrations of antibiotics pose no risk to aquatic plant growth. Aquatic plants can significantly reduce the antibiotics concentration in water and the removal efficiency is affected by many factors, such as the type of aquatic plants and antibiotics. Macrolide antibiotics are most easily removed by plants. This study reviewed the current research progress and provides valuable scientific recommendations for further research.
抗生素已成为水生环境中的一种广泛存在的污染物。水生植物修复技术用于去除水中的抗生素污染引起了越来越多的研究。由于水生植物和抗生素在水生环境中的复杂相互作用，总结当前的研究进展并指出其不足之处对于更好地利用水生植物来修复抗生素污染至关重要。越来越多的证据表明，根是水生植物吸收和积累抗生素的最重要组织，并且抗生素可以在水生植物中转移。LogKow 值是影响水生植物吸收抗生素的重要因素。研究表明，抗生素对水生植物具有毒性作用，包括代谢干扰、氧化损伤、对光合作用系统的损害以及生长抑制。然而，物种敏感性分布模型表明，抗生素的一般环境浓度不会对水生植物的生长构成风险。水生植物可以显著降低水中的抗生素浓度，去除效率受多种因素的影响，例如水生植物和抗生素的类型。大环内酯类抗生素最容易被植物去除。本研究综述了当前的研究进展，为进一步的研究提供了有价值的科学建议。
