Antibiotics exert high impacts on environment than other pharmaceuticals due to their higher biological activity. However, little is known about their impacts on plants, despite indications that antibiotics exert negative effects on soil microorganisms, which ultimately harm the plants. It has been demonstrated that beneficial microorganisms promote plant growth and development under various stresses. This study evaluated the toxicity of four newly derived sulfonamides (SAs), i.e., 2-(phenylsulfonyl) hydrazine carbothioamide (TSBS-1), N, 2-bis phenyl hydrazine carbothioamide (TSBS-2), aminocarbonyl benzene sulfonamide (UBS-1), and N, N\u2019-carbonyl dibenzene sulfonamide (UBS-2) on bacterial growth and soil microbial respiration. Each SA was tested at four different concentrations (i.e., 2.25, 2.5, 3, 4 mg\/ml) against five rhizospheric bacterial strains, including AC (\n                    <jats:italic>Actinobacteria sp<\/jats:italic>\n                    .), RS-3a (\n                    <jats:italic>Bacillus sp<\/jats:italic>\n                    .), RS-7a (\n                    <jats:italic>Bacillus subtilis<\/jats:italic>\n                    ), RS-4a (\n                    <jats:italic>Enterobacter sp<\/jats:italic>\n                    .), and RS-5a (\n                    <jats:italic>Enterobacter sp<\/jats:italic>\n                    .). Antimicrobial activity was checked by disc diffusion method, which showed that inhibition zone increased with increasing concentration of SAs. The UBS-1 resulted in the highest inhibition zone (11.47 \u00b1 0.90 mm) against RS-4a with the highest concentration (4 mg\/ml). Except TSBS-1, all sulfonamide derivatives reduced CO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    respiration rates in soil. Soil respiration values significantly increased till 6\n                    <jats:sup>th<\/jats:sup>\n                    day; however, exposure of sulfonamide derivatives suppressed microbial respiration after 6\n                    <jats:sup>th<\/jats:sup>\n                    day. On the 20\n                    <jats:sup>th<\/jats:sup>\n                    day, poor respiration activity was noted at 0.23, 0.2, and 0.4 (CO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    mg\/g dry soil) for TSBS-1, UBS-1, and UBS-2, respectively. Our results demonstrate that sulfonamides, even in small concentrations, significantly affect soil microbial population and respiration. Soil microbial respiration changes mediated by sulfonamides were dependent on length of exposure and concentration. It is recommended that antibiotics should be carefully watched and their impact on plant growth should be tested in the future studies.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0264476","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,28]],"date-time":"2022-04-28T15:55:20Z","timestamp":1651161320000},"page":"e0264476","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The impact of newly synthesized sulfonamides on soil microbial population and respiration in rhizospheric soil of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Ammara","family":"Saleem","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8400-7685","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Asma","family":"Zulfiqar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Muhammad Zeeshan","family":"Arshed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Saber","family":"Hussain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Muhammad Tajammal","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8165-3369","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Marek","family":"Zivcak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0473-4303","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ali Tan Kee","family":"Zuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shrouq M.","family":"Alshahrani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Khaloud Mohammed","family":"Alarjani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,28]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"pone.0264476.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"309","DOI":"10.1007\/s13593-011-0062-9","article-title":"Occurrence, fate, and ecotoxicity of antibiotics in agro-ecosystems","volume":"32","author":"Lianfeng Du","year":"2012","journal-title":"A review.
