Description	An increasingly industrialized global economy over the last century has led to dramatically elevated releases of anthropogenic chemicals into the environment that has raised critical concern over human health and ecosystems. Microbe-assisted phytoremediation is a novel phytomicrobial technology for remediation of heavy metals and organic pollutants. Hence, identification of novel catabolic genes and their transfer into natural microbes may also create new opportunities for enhancing phytoremediation efficiency of plants in polluted environments. Genetic engineering of endophytic and rhizospheric bacteria for use in plant-associated degradation of toxic compounds in soil is considered one of the most promising new technologies for remediation of contaminated environmental sites. The aim of the present chapter is to summarize recent knowledge and advances on the degradation and transformation of environmental contaminants and to critically discuss the potential and limitations of microbe-assisted phytoremediation approaches for the recovery of polluted ecosystems.
