A highly efficient oxytetracycline hydrochloride (OTC-HCl)-degrading strain, designated as Lysinibacillus sp. OTC-L20, was isolated from contaminated soil. Its taxonomic status was confirmed via 16S rDNA sequencing, and it represent a highly efficient OTC-HCl-degrading strain within the genus Lysinibacillus. Genomic sequencing revealed that its chromosome harbors multiple antibiotic resistance genes, including those conferring resistance to tetracyclines and aminoglycosides, which may be involved in the biotransformation of OTC-HCl. Under specific culture conditions (supplemented carbon source at 4g/L, initial pH 8, inoculum size 3%, and initial substrate concentration 60mg/L), the strain achieved a degradation rate of 79.80% for OTC-HCl on the 7th day of incubation. Using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-HRMS), a total of 14major intermediate metabolites were identified, and four distinct degradation pathways were proposed, involving seven reaction types such as deamidation and enol-keto isomerization. Compared with the blank control group, the degradation products of OTC-L20exhibited significantly reduced antibacterial toxicity to Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, demonstrating that Lysinibacillus sp. OTC-L20is a highly efficient and environmentally safe OTC-HCl-degrading bacterium.
