Abstract: Mycorrhiza,existing extensively in nature,are symbiotic associations of plant roots with certain soil fungi. They can improve the host plant in nutrient uptake and growth,and hence its endurance and resistance to environmental stress. Therefore, mycorrhiza accreted plants can be used as a suitable bioremediation carrier. A review is made of studies,at home and abroad,on role of mycorrhiza in bioremediating soils polluted by non organic,organic and radioactive contaminants. 

Key words: bioremediation, degradation, fungi, mycorrhiza, pollution, soil
