Effects of 25 pharmaceutical compounds to Lemna gibba using a seven-day static-renewal test
Abstract
Antibiotics are known to have antichloroplastic properties, but their effects on aquatic higher plants are virtually unknown. In order to address this issue, 25 pharmaceuticals, including 22 antibiotics, were assessed for phytotoxicity to the aquatic higher plant Lemna gibba. A 7-d static-renewal test was used, and plants were treated with 0, 10, 30, 100, 300, and 1,000 μg/L of pharmaceutical-containing growth media. Phytotoxicity was assessed using multiple growth and biochemical endpoints. Effective concentration (EC)50, EC25, and EC10 values as well as tests for significant differences between treatments and controls lowest-observed-effect concentration (LOECs) were calculated for each endpoint. Twelve different classes of antibiotics were assessed; however, only members of the fluoroquinolone, sulfonamide, and tetracycline classes of antibiotics displayed significant phytotoxicity. The most toxic members of each of these classes tested were lomefloxacin, sulfamethoxazole, and chlortetracycline, with wet weight EC25 values of 38, 37, and 114 μg/L, respectively. Injury symptoms were comparatively uniform and consistent among chemical classes while degree of phytotoxicity varied considerably. Both of these criteria varied markedly between classes. Wet mass was consistently the most sensitive endpoint above 100 μg/L; conversely, frond number was the most sensitive below 100 μg/L. Pigment endpoints were significantly less sensitive than growth endpoints.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
