Abstrakt: In swine farming, antibiotics are often used to reduce disease and promote animal growth. Part of these compounds is not absorbed by the swine body, being excreted and later reaching the treatment systems, soil, and nearby waterbodies. This research sought to investigate the influence of adding ciprofloxacin (CIP) on the anaerobic digestion of swine wastewater. For that, a bench-scale anaerobic sequential batch reactor (ASBR) was used, with 5 L of working volume in six different phases, with volumetric organic loading rate (VOLR) and CIP dosage variation. According to the results, the optimal VOLR for the reactor was 0.60 ± 0.11 gSV L−1 d−1, resulting in biogas productivity of 0.51 ± 0.03 Lbiogas L−1 d−1. After initial stability, adding substrate with 0.5 mgCIP L−1 resulted in an abrupt drop of 82% in the productivity from the 7th to 11th day of addition, coinciding with volatile acids accumulation. Afterward, the reactor recovered and reached apparent stability, with productivity similar to the previous step without the drug. For 2.5 mgCIP L−1 in the substrate, the biogas productivity at equilibrium was 11.8% lower than in the phases with the same VOLR and 0.0 and 0.5 mgCIP L−1. Organic matter removals near 80% were achieved for both dosages. The 16S rRNA metagenomic analyses showed an increase in the relative abundance of most of the phyla found, indicating that the dosages used allowed the acclimatization of microorganisms and possibly the compound biodegradation.
