The release of tetracyclines (TCs) in the environment is of significant concern because the residual antibiotics may promote resistance in pathogenic microorganisms, and the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes poses a potential threat to ecosystems. Microbial biodegradation plays an important role in removing TCs in both natural and artificial systems. After long-term acclimation, microorganisms that can tolerate and degrade TCs are retained to achieve efficient removal of TCs under the optimum conditions (e.g. optimal operational parameters and moderate concentrations of TCs). To date, cultivation-based techniques have been used to isolate bacteria or fungi with potential degradation ability. Moreover, the biodegradation mechanism of TCs can be unveiled with the development of chemical analysis (e.g. UPLC-Q-TOF mass spectrometer) and molecular biology techniques (e.g. 16S rRNA gene sequencing, multi-omics sequencing, and whole genome sequencing). In this review, we made an overview of the biodegradation of TCs in different systems, refined functional microbial communities and pure isolates relevant to TCs biodegradation, and summarized the biodegradation products, pathways, and degradation genes of TCs. In addition, ecological risks of TCs biodegradation were considered from the perspectives of metabolic products toxicity and resistance genes. Overall, this article aimed to outline the research progress of TCs biodegradation and propose future research prospects.
