Contamination of water resources with pharmaceutical compounds, like tramadol (TRD), has developed to a challenging problem due to the insufficient elimination of these xenobiotics during standard wastewater treatment process. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), as a plant model, showed a promising potential to remove TRD from hydroponic culture systems. The effects of TRD on the root-associated bacterial communities and on the activities of selected enzymes were discussed during this study. Moreover, plant inoculation with growth-promoting bacterial endophytes emerged as a viable method to boost TRD removal efficiency by plants.
