Evaluation of the effect of antibiotics on the growth reactions of higher plants - potential phytoremediants

Abstract

The relevance of the work is due to the need to study the assessment of the toxicity of antimicrobial drugs for environmental objects. The simplest and most obvious methods of assessing the impact of antibiotics on the environment are bioindication methods, in particular, the assessment of phytotoxicity of drugs. The study presents the results of the analysis of the cytotoxic effect of antibiotics of different nature in relation to herbaceous plants of various systematic groups in a laboratory experiment. The phytotoxic effect of the considered antibiotic samples was determined by comparing the indicators of the test function of the seeds of the control and experimental groups. The dependence of the magnitude of the phytotoxic effect on the pharmaceutical group of the antibiotic is shown. The data obtained are the basis for further research to assess the negative impact on the environment and the development of technologies for phytoremediation of environmental objects. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the effect of antibiotics on the growth reactions of higher plants - potential phytoremediants.
