In this study, we isolated five strains capable of degrading14 C-labeled sulfamethoxazole to14 CO2 from a membrane bioreactor acclimatized to sulfamethoxazole, carbamazepine, and diclofenac. Of these strains, two belonged to the phylumActinobacteria , while three were members of theProteobacteria .
