Identification of functional microorganisms and genes mediating ciprofloxacin degradation in dynamic habitats of algal bloom decomposition.

Decay of algal blooms in eutrophic lakes generates detritus-rich, redox-dynamic microhabitats that modulate the degradation of emerging pollutants as antibiotics. The degradation pathways of antibiotics within algal-detritus accumulation zones and the associated microbial assimilators remain insufficiently understood....
