Abstract

This study assessed the effect of gibberellins (GAs) concentrations on antibiotic and nutrient removal using diverse microalgal-bacterial-fungal consortia. Five systems (Chlorella vulgaris, T1; C. vulgaris + S395-2 + Clonostachys rosea, T2; C. vulgaris + S395-2 + Ganoderma lucidum, T3; C. vulgaris + S395-2 + Pleurotus pulmonarius, T4; and C. vulgaris + S395-2, T5) were established, and optimal conditions and effective symbiosis were applied to improve antibiotic and nutrient removal. Consortium growth was T2 > T3 > T5 > T4 > T1, while GA impact ranked 50 mg L–1 > 20 mg L–1 > 80 mg L–1 > 0 mg L–1. After 7 days at 50 mg L–1 GAs, total nitrogen (TN), NH4-N, NO3-N, and total phosphorous (TP) removal reached 85.97 %, 78.08 %, 86.59 %, and 94.39 %, respectively. Florfenicol, oxytetracycline hydrochloride, ofloxacin, and sulfamethoxazole removal efficiencies were 67.77 %, 98.29 %, 90.47 %, and 94.92 %, respectively. These findings highlight GAs' significant role in enhancing antibiotic and nutrient removal.
