Abstract
The presence and persistence of pharmaceuticals in the food chain, especially in food crops, can have
negative effects on human health and the environment. Acetaminophen in particular is a significant
environmental pollutant due to its widespread use. The objective of this work was to determine the
degradation of acetaminophen (ACE) by endophytic bacteria from lettuce from 3 municipalities of the
Sabana de Bogotá (Cota, Mosquera and Funza). For this purpose, lettuce endophytes were selected in
minimal salt medium containing acetaminophen, drug degradation was performed by HPLC, and
bacteria were identified by 16s rRNA gene sequencing. The bacteria Klebsiella sp L1cp and
Klebsiella pneumoniae L2cp use acetaminophen as a carbon and energy source for their growth.
Strains L1cp and L2cp degraded 20% and 70% of acetamiphone at 50 mg/l in 60 h. Glucose addition
affected ACE degradation, with L1cp degradation increased by 33% and L2cp degradation decreased
by 53%. These results suggest the potential of lettuce endophytic bacteria to degrade acetaminophen
and a possible mechanism of protection or detoxification of exogenous substances in plants.
