Description	Many endeavors associated with human progress and welfare has the undesirable side effect of spreading vast amounts of hazardous and toxic pollutants into the environment. These pollutants enter the food web relentlessly and pose a serious threat to human and animal health and the integrity of ecosystems worldwide. Phytoremediation is a promising green technology for the cleanup of polluted environments. In this technology, plants and their associated microbes reduce the risks of pollutant dispersion, and it is applicable for the decontamination of soils or wastewaters with mixed pollutants. The interactions between plant root exudates and microbes in the rhizosphere have been recognized as a critical component of plant growth in polluted environments. Plant root exudates provide nutrition to rhizospheric microbes, thus increasing microbiological activity in the rhizosphere, which in turn stimulates plant growth. The overall result of plant–microbe interactions is facilitating phytoremediation of organic and inorganic pollutants. It is universally accepted that members of any microbial group can develop important functions in the ecosystem. In this chapter, we discuss the latest findings in the field of microbe-assisted phytoremediation of environmental pollutants, focusing our attention on bacteria–plant interactions.
