| Soil organic contamination has become a worldwide environmental problem, posing great threats to agricultural products and human health. Utilizing endophytic bacteria to control the metabolism of organic pollutants in plant and effectively reduce the risk of plant organic contamination attracts much attention. In this paper, the isolation and screen of endophytic bacterial strains with the function of degradation of organic pollutants were reviewed. The effects of the functional endophytic bacteria on the metabolism of organic contaminants in plants were elucidated, and the mechanisms involved were clarified. This study provides a new perspective that the application of endophytic bacteria potentially decreases the accumulation of organic contaminants in plants, hence reducing the risks to food safety and human health. |
