Abstract

Endophytes have significant prospects for applications beyond their existing utilization in agriculture and the natural sciences. They form an endosymbiotic relationship with plants by colonizing the root tissues without detrimental effects. These endophytes comprise several microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi. They act as repositories of compounds of medicinal importance. They are considered sources of pigments besides synthetic dyes and assist with soil fertility and plant growth as bio-fertilizers. They also have immense potential for advanced technology using endophyte-synthesized nanoparticles. In assisting bioremediation, they facilitate detoxification of pollutants in all spheres of the environment. Studies on the potential of endophytic microbes in drug discovery and biotic stress management are underway. In this review, published databases on endophytes and their diverse roles and applications in various fields, such as bio-fertilizers and nanoparticles, as well as bioremediation, are critically discussed while exploring unanswered questions. In addition, future perspectives on endosymbiotic microorganisms and their prospective use in plants, environmental management, and medicine are discussed in this review.

内生菌除了在农业和自然科学领域的现有用途外，还有很大的应用前景。它们通过在根部组织定殖与植物形成内生共生关系，而不会产生有害影响。这些内生菌由多种微生物组成，包括细菌和真菌。它们是具有药用价值的化合物的储存库。除合成染料外，它们还是色素的来源，并作为生物肥料帮助土壤肥力和植物生长。利用内生菌合成的纳米粒子，它们在先进技术方面也具有巨大潜力。在协助生物修复方面，它们促进了环境各个领域污染物的解毒。目前正在研究内生微生物在药物发现和生物压力管理方面的潜力。在这篇综述中，对已发表的有关内生微生物的数据库及其在生物肥料和纳米粒子以及生物修复等各个领域的不同作用和应用进行了批判性讨论，同时探讨了一些未解之谜。此外，本综述还讨论了内生微生物的未来前景及其在植物、环境管理和医学中的应用前景。

期刊介绍： World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology publishes research papers and review articles on all aspects of Microbiology and Microbial Biotechnology. Since its foundation, the Journal has provided a forum for research work directed toward finding microbiological and biotechnological solutions to global problems. As many of these problems, including crop productivity, public health and waste management, have major impacts in the developing world, the Journal especially reports on advances for and from developing regions. Some topics are not within the scope of the Journal. Please do not submit your manuscript if it falls into one of the following categories: · Virology · Simple isolation of microbes from local sources · Simple descriptions of an environment or reports on a procedure · Veterinary, agricultural and clinical topics in which the main focus is not on a microorganism · Data reporting on host response to microbes · Optimization of a procedure · Description of the biological effects of not fully identified compounds or undefined extracts of natural origin · Data on not fully purified enzymes or procedures in which they are applied All articles published in the Journal are independently refereed.
