Pollution of soils with heavy metals is becoming one of the most severe environmental and human health hazards. Due to its widespread contamination finding innovative ways to clean metal pollutant has become a priority in the remediation field. Phytoremediation, the use of plants for the restoration of environments contaminated with pollutants is a relatively new technology that is more benign than current engineering solutions to treat contaminated sites. Recently, the benefits of combining endophytic bacteria with plants for increased remediation of pollutants have been successfully tried for toxic metal removal from contaminated soils. Endophytic bacteria reside within plant hosts without causing disease symptoms. Further, the metal resistant endophytes are reported to be present in various hyperaccumulator plants growing on heavy metal contaminated soils and play an important role in successful survival and growth of plants. Moreover, the metal resistant endophytes are reported to promote plant growth by various mechanisms such as nitrogen fixation, solubilization of minerals, production of phytohormones, siderophores, utilization of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid as a sole N source and transformation of nutrient elements. In this review we highlight the diversity and plant growth promoting features of metal resistant endophytic bacteria and discuss their potential in phytoextraction of heavy metals from contaminated soils.
