Distinct effects of copper on the degradation of β-lactam antibiotics in fulvic acid solutions during light and dark cycle

This study revealed the dual roles of Cu(II) on the β-lactam antibiotics degradation in Suwannee River fulvic acid (SRFA) solution during day and night cycle. Amoxicillin (AMX) and ampicillin (AMP) were selected as the representative β-lactam antibiotics. Cu(II) played a key role in the dark degrada...
