Microbially Mediated Abiotic Transformation of the Antimicrobial Agent Sulfamethoxazole under Iron-Reducing Soil Conditions

Large quantities of antimicrobial agents used in livestock production are released to soils by land application of manure, but only limited information is available on mechanisms that contribute to antimicrobial fate in soils under variable biogeochemical conditions. Dissipation of the sulfonamide a...
