Soil bioremediation is a process whereby microorganisms, plants, or microbial or plant enzymes utilize chemical contaminants in the soil as an energy source and, through oxidation–reduction reactions, metabolize the target contaminant into useable energy for living organisms such as microbes. There has been a rise in the past few decades on environmental pollution as a result of rapid industrialization, increased human activities on energy and unsafe agricultural practices. Soil pollution which is the contamination of soil with anomalous concentrations of toxic substances is one of the serious major environmental challenges. The soil harbours pollutants of many health hazards such as hydrocarbons with benzene increasing the risk of contracting leukaemia, others include pesticides, heavy metals, nuclear wastes, asbestos, etc. Hence, bioremediation which is eco-friendly seems as a sustainable technique for soil pollution management. However, a more comprehensive understanding is advocated for enhanced removal of every form of contaminant including recalcitrant pollutants.
