Keywords: High level of naproxen consumption leads to the appearance of this drug in the environment but its possible
Naproxen effects on non-target organisms together with its biodegradation are not well studied.

naproxen in cometabolic conditions. The results indicate that the mean value of microbial toxic concentration
estimated by MARA test amounts to 1.66 g/L whereas EC50 of naproxen for B1(2015b) strain was 4.69 g/L. At
toxic concentration, Bacillus thuringiensis B1(2015b) showed 16:0 iso 3OH fatty acid presence and an increase in
the ratio of total saturated to unsaturated fatty acids. High resistance of the examined strain to naproxen cor-
related with its ability to degrade this drug in cometabolic conditions.
The results of bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test) revealed that naproxen at concentrations above
1 g/L showed genotoxic effect but the response was not dose-dependent.
Maximal specific naproxen removal rate was observed at pH 6.5 and 30 °C, and in the presence of 0.5 g/L
glucose as a growth substrate. Kinetic analysis allowed estimation of the half saturation constant (Ks) and the
maximum specific naproxen removal rate (qmax) as 6.86 mg/L and 1.26 mg/L day, respectively. These results
indicate that Bacillus thuringiensis B1(2015b) has a high ability to degrade naproxen and is a potential tool for
bioremediation.
