Figure Lengend Snippet: Comparative diagram of assimilatory pigments (chlorophyll a , chlorophyll b , and total carotenoids) determined in the Lactuca sativa L. plants (mg/g of fresh weight (FW) plant) exposed to treatments with ampicillin (AMP I—7.5 mg kg −1 ; AMP II—15 mg kg −1 ; AMP III—30 mg kg −1 ) and ciprofloxacin (CIP I—5 mg kg −1 ; CIP II—10 mg kg −1 ; CIP III—20 mg kg −1 ). The control is represented by the plants untreated with antibiotics. Every point represents the mean ± standard error of the mean obtained from three independent replicate experiments. The letters above the columns indicate grouping information using the Tukey method, and the means that do not share a letter are considered significantly different.

Article Snippet: The antibiotic standards used for this study were purchased as follows: ampicillin (AMP) was purchased from Antibiotice S.A. (Iași, Romania), and ciprofloxacin (CIP) from Sigma-Aldrich (Hamburg, Germany).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Total polyphenolic content, mg gallic acid (GA)/g fresh weight (FW), in the extracts of Lactuca sativa L. leaves grown in the presence of antibiotics (ampicillin—AMP; ciprofloxacin—CIP) of different concentrations (AMP I—7.5 mg kg −1 ; AMP II—15 mg kg −1 ; AMP III—30 mg kg −1 ) and ciprofloxacin (CIP I—5 mg kg −1 ; CIP II—10 mg kg −1 ; CIP III—20 mg kg −1 ). Every point represents the mean ± standard error of the mean obtained from three independent replicate experiments. The letters atop the columns stand for statistical differences, as in .

Figure Lengend Snippet: Antioxidant capacity, mM Trolox/g fresh weight (FW) of Lactuca sativa L. extracts. The lettuce leaves were treated with antibiotics (ampicillin—AMP; ciprofloxacin—CIP) of different concentrations (AMP I—7.5 mg kg −1 ; AMP II—15 mg kg −1 ; AMP III—30 mg kg −1 ); and ciprofloxacin (CIP I—5 mg kg −1 ; CIP II—10 mg kg −1 ; CIP III—20 mg kg −1 ). The control is represented by the antioxidant capacity determined in the lettuce plants untreated with antibiotics.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) of Lactuca sativa L. plants treated with different concentrations of ampicillin (AMP) and ciprofloxacin (CIP), in association with bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity. The numbers 1–7 represent the treatments as follows: 1: control plants (untreated); 2: plants grown in soil with AMP I (7.5 mg kg −1 ); 3: plants grown in soil with AMP II (15 mg kg −1 ); 4: plants grown in soil with AMP III (30 mg kg −1 ); 5: plants grown in soil with CIP I (5 mg kg −1 ); 6: plants grown in soil with CIP II (10 mg kg −1 ); and 7: plants grown in soil with CIP III (20 mg kg −1 ).
