“…AMFs reduce organic pollutant residues in the plant shoots and increase the accumulation of pollutants (POPs in particular) in plant roots. AMFs could improve the resistance of plants to POPs in various ways including (1) biomass increase in plants via improved mineral nutrition and water availability, (2) enhanced activities of contaminant-degrading enzymes, (3) alleviation of the harmful effects of oxidative stress induced by pollutants, (4) accumulation of pollutants by AMF structures, (5) reduction of pesticide and herbicide use in agricultural fields, and (6) stimulation of growth of microorganisms involved in the degradation of contaminants in the soil (Wang et al 2019;Fecih and Baoune 2019). It was observed that AM causes significant degradation of PAHs as one type of organic pollutant.…”

“…In this technique, improvement of soil construction and enhancement of nutrient uptake by plants and the efficiency of POP bioremediation increase considerably. In order to improve the bioremediation process, the adapted strains of AMFs must be selected and used for plant inoculation in polluted ecosystems (Fecih and Baoune 2019). Gao et al (2010) reported that AMF hyphae have a great potential to uptake PAHs.…”

“…Organic farming is developing day by day and its general principles are the elimination of most synthetic materials, soil management through the addition of organic materials, and the use of crop rotation (Gosling et al 2006). Indeed, AMFs are capable not only of relieving lower fertilizer inputs (especially phosphorus) in organic systems but also of helping to phytoremediation of POPs (Fecih and Baoune 2019). Figure 8.2 briefly illustrates the role of AMF in improving food safety.…”

“…A lot of these organic pollutants are mutagens, carcinogens, and teratogens (Wang et al 2019;Casida 2017). Biological mechanisms are commonly used for the elimination of these toxic compounds from the environment (Fecih and Baoune 2019). Symbiotic interactions, mycorrhizal associations, in particular, are valuable tools for the bioremediation of polluted ecosystems (Whitacre 2015).…”

“…Symbiotic interactions, mycorrhizal associations, in particular, are valuable tools for the bioremediation of polluted ecosystems (Whitacre 2015). Mycorrhizoremediation, the use of mycorrhizae in bioremediation, is one of the biological ways that could alleviate the matter of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that results in removing the pollutants from soils and increases the host plant growth and development in contaminated soils (Fecih and Baoune 2019).…”

Industrialization and the modern world have led to environmental contamination by organic pollutants, many of which are persistent and could engender hazardous disorders in ecosystems and living organisms including humans. Organic pollutants are phytotoxic compounds and affect the plant biochemical and physiological processes. However, plants can uptake these compounds leading to inclusion of pollutants into food chains. Nowadays, several studies have been carried out to explore and develop novel strategies that could lessen or eradicate pollution while posing no deleterious effects on the environment. Bioremediation (including phytoremediation) is green technology for the remediation of contaminated soils and water. The majority of plant species form symbiosis with mycorrhizal fungi which usually leads to improved plant resistance to organic contaminations. Therefore, plant root inoculation with mycorrhizal fungi could be a biological solution for the problem of organic pollutants.

Hydrocarbon pollution resulting from anthropogenic activities related to the petrochemical industry and other natural sources presents a major problem that has crippled environmental sustainability and contributed to food insecurity crisis. Bioremediation which has proven to be an effective and eco-friendly approach with a broad spectrum potential of targeting and removing a wide range of hydrocarbons including known recalcitrant hydrocarbons has been well studied. However, for bioremediation to be successful and complete, eco-restoration must be achieved. A promising approach to restoration of polluted environment is through the utilization of plant rhizospheric microbes in rhizoremediation. Harnessing rhizospheric microbes as potent tools for rhizoremediation has gained considerable attention in the field of environmental science because of the additional benefits it presents in the decontamination of pollutants such as enhanced nutrient delivery, increased microbial diversity, enhanced biofilm formation, enhanced degradation efficiency, plant-microbe interactions and high adaptation to soil conditions for enhanced remediation activity. These group of microbes possess inherent metabolic capabilities that allow them to efficiently degrade or transform a wide range of pollutants, including hydrocarbons, heavy metals, pesticides, and organic contaminants. This review therefore highlights in details environmental pollution and its challenges, remediation of petroleum hydrocarbons with different groups of rhizospheric microbes and the beneficial attributes of rhizomicrobes in bioremediation technology and environmental sustainability.
