The pollutants have become ubiquitous in the total environment (water, soil and air) due to human activities and they are hazardous to all forms of life on the earth. This problem has made scientists focus on mitigating or complete reduction in pollutants by several means. Microorganism and plants are known to scavenge pollutants. Both are studied enormously in reducing, refining, and removing pollutants from the environment successfully. But, their slow process for removal is disadvantage. However, according to recent advancements in the abatement of pollutants, a combined system of both microorganisms and plant has shown to enhance the remediation of pollutants to an efficient level. In a nutrient-depleted pollutant-rich environment, when suitable plant and microorganisms are introduced, the plant interacts with the rhizosphere and root associate with microorganisms to survive in toxic conditions. The chemicals released by plants signal the microorganisms for interactions. This interaction leads in higher germination efficiency and enhanced root elongation which results in enhanced degradation of pollutants in both rhizosphere and phyllosphere. In this background, the current review article provides an overview of the recent advancement in microorganisms plant combined systems in enhanced removal of several recalcitrant pollutants. The conclusion highlights the challenges and future perspectives in this area of research.

由于人类活动，污染物在整个环境（水、土壤和空气）中无处不在，对地球上所​​有形式的生命都是有害的。这个问题使科学家们专注于通过多种方式减轻或完全减少污染物。众所周知，微生物和植物可以清除污染物。两者都在成功地减少、提炼和去除环境中的污染物方面进行了大量研究。但是，它们缓慢的移除过程是不利的。然而，根据最近在污染物减排方面的进展，微生物和植物的组合系统已表明可以将污染物的修复提高到有效水平。在营养耗尽、污染丰富的环境中，当引入合适的植物和微生物时，植物与根际相互作用，根与微生物相关联，以便在有毒条件下生存。植物释放的化学物质向微生物发出相互作用的信号。这种相互作用导致更高的发芽效率和增强的根系伸长率，从而导致根际和叶际污染物的降解增强。在此背景下，当前的评论文章概述了微生物植物组合系统在增强去除几种顽固性污染物方面的最新进展。结论强调了该研究领域的挑战和未来前景。这种相互作用导致更高的发芽效率和增强的根系伸长率，从而导致根际和叶际污染物的降解增强。在此背景下，当前的评论文章概述了微生物植物组合系统在增强去除几种顽固性污染物方面的最新进展。结论强调了该研究领域的挑战和未来前景。这种相互作用导致更高的发芽效率和增强的根系伸长率，从而导致根际和叶际污染物的降解增强。在此背景下，当前的评论文章概述了微生物植物组合系统在增强去除几种顽固性污染物方面的最新进展。结论强调了该研究领域的挑战和未来前景。
