Environmental pollution stands as one of the significant global challenges we face today. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a class of stubborn organic pollutants, have long been a focal point of bioremediation research. This study aims to explore the impact and mechanisms of graphene oxide (GO) on the phytoremediation effectiveness of PAHs. The results underscore the significant efficacy of GO in accelerating the degradation of PAHs. Additionally, the introduction of GO altered the diversity and community structure of endophytic bacteria within the roots, particularly those genera with potential for PAH degradation. Through LEfSe analysis and correlation studies, we identified specific symbiotic bacteria, such as Mycobacterium, Microbacterium, Flavobacterium, Sphingomonas, Devosia, Bacillus, and Streptomyces, which coexist and interact under the influence of GO, synergistically degrading PAHs. These bacteria may serve as key biological markers in the PAH degradation process. These findings provide new theoretical and practical foundations for the application of nanomaterials in plant-based remediation of polluted soils and showcase the immense potential of plant–microbe interactions in environmental restoration.
