tA phytoremediation pilot emulating a shallow aquifer planted with Juncus acutus showed to be effectivefor remediating Bisphenol-A (BPA) contaminated groundwater. Biostimulation with root exudates, lowmolecular weight organic acids, of J. acutus did not improve BPA-degradation rates. Furthermore, theendophytic bacterial community of J. acutus was isolated and characterized. Many strains were found topossess increased tolerance to metals such as Zn, Ni, Pb and Cd. Moreover, several endophytic bacterialstrains tolerated and even used BPA and/or two antibiotics (ciprofloxacin and sulfamethoxazole) as asole carbon source. Our results demonstrate that the cultivable bacterial endophytic community of J.acutus is able to use organic contaminants as carbon sources, tolerates metals and is equipped withplant-growth promoting traits. Therefore, J. acutus has potential to be exploited in constructed wetlandswhen co-contamination is one of the restricting factors.
