Sulfonamides (SAs) are extensively used antibiotics in the prevention and treatment of animal diseases, leading to significant SAs pollution in surrounding environments. Microbial degradation has been proposed as a crucial mechanism for removing SAs, but the taxonomic identification of microbial functional guilds responsible for SAs degradation in nature remain largely unexplored. Here, we employed 13C-sulfamethazine (SMZ)-based DNA-stable isotope probing (SIP) and metagenomic sequencing to investigate SMZ degraders in three distinct swine farm wastewater-receiving environments within an agricultural ecosystem. These environments include the aerobic riparian wetland soil, agricultural soil, and anaerobic river sediment. SMZ mineralization activities exhibited significant variation, with the highest rate observed in aerobic riparian wetland soil. SMZ had a substantial impact on the microbial community compositions across all samples. DNA-SIP analysis demonstrated that Thiobacillus, Auicella, Sphingomonas, and Rhodobacter were dominant active SMZ degraders in the wetland soil, whereas Ellin6067, Ilumatobacter, Dongia, and Steroidobacter predominated in the agricultural soil. The genus MND1 and family Vicinamibacteraceae were identified as SMZ degrader in both soils. In contrast, anaerobic SMZ degradation in the river sediment was mainly performed by genera Microvirga, Flavobacterium, Dechlorobacter, Atopostipes, and families Nocardioidaceae, Micrococcaceae, Anaerolineaceae. Metagenomic analysis of 13C-DNA identified key SAs degradation genes (sadA and sadC), and various of dioxygenases, and aromatic hydrocarbon degradation-related functional genes, indicating their involvement in degradation of SMZ and its intermediate products. These findings highlight the variations of indigenous SAs oxidizers in complex natural habitats and emphasize the consideration of applying these naturally active degraders in future antibiotic bioremediation.
