Endophytic Bacterial Applications in Phytoremediation of Organic Pollutants and Toxic Metals

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Microbial Enzymes and Biotechniques

Abstract

The rising concentration of organic pollutants in soil and water matrices has always posed a global concern of health hazards, including humans. In the process of bioremediation, phytoremediation is supposed to be the best eco-friendly process. With the endophytes, phytoremediation promises efficient removal of organic pollutants and heavy metals. The mutual interaction of endophytes and plants provides shelter to microbes and growth promotion of plants with many more benefits. Their interaction leads to accumulation and removal of pollutants with minimum external chemical entities leaving wastewater. Although phytoremediation is a slow and time-consuming process, many plants showed excellent results in removing the organic pollutants and heavy metals combined with their endophytic communities. The enzymes of endophytes can change the chemical moieties of contaminants and make them less toxic to the environment, and hence they may be explored more with the help of ‘Omics.’ The Omics and systems biology approach may be useful in future applications on the contaminated sites. This chapter provides collective information about the endophytic bacteria assisted phytoremediation and updates us to create an eco-friendly environment.
