The bacterial endophytic communities of four plants growing abundantly in soils highly
contaminated by hydrocarbons were analyzed through culturable and culture-independent …

Bacterial endophytes (BEs) are non-pathogenic residents of healthy plant tissues that can
confer benefits to plants. Many Bacterial endophytes have been shown to contribute to plant …

Microbe-assisted phytoremediation depends on competent root-associated microorganisms
that enhance remediation efficiency of organic compounds. Endophytic bacteria are a key …

Plant-root inhabiting fungi are a universal phenomenon found in all ecosystems where
plants are able to grow, even in harsh environments. Interactions between fungi and plant …

Many endophytic bacteria exert beneficial effects on their host, but still little is known about
the bacteria associated with plants growing in areas heavily polluted by hydrocarbons. The …

Bacterial endophytes with the capacity to degrade petroleum hydrocarbons and promote
plant growth may facilitate phytoremediation for the removal of petroleum hydrocarbons from …

Phragmites australis and Chloris virgata are native, dominant, salt-tolerant grass species
that grow in the Yellow River Delta, China, and have potential applications in the …

Endophytic microorganisms live inside plants and show no apparent damage for the host.
