Xenobiont entrance in soil and food chain is a major concern of present era. Enhanced legislation, environmental management system and risk control procedures leads to green and clean technologies. Therefore phytoremediation is a best suitable option. The efficacy of phytoremediation techniques depend upon selection of plant, fungal and bacterial partner and situation of contaminated sites. Each type has its own benefit and harms and can be selected by phytoremediation decision tree. Subsequently, naturally and genetically modified bacteria, endophytic bacteria and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can be used that have a great capacity to convert and mineralize various organic compounds of both natural and xenobiotics origin. Briefly, recent advances suggest the use of transgenic plants with enhanced cleanup potential. Hence, this review presents the status of phytoremediation technologies with special emphasis on microbial and transgenic plants use. |
