Abstract
The following review introduces a novel environmental factor—Biomonitoring as a tool for the detoxification of soil contaminants by soil microorganisms. They contribute plant to increase pollutants resistance and caused by global warming. They function by detoxifying heavy hydrocarbon compounds and converting them to a soil protein called glomalin (glomalin-related soil protein—GRSP) whose content has been determined recently. It is proposed to be correlated by the abundance and activity of the soil beneficial microorganisms such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in some natural contaminated sites around the world. Recently our finding indicated that the combination of environmental stresses (e.g., pharmaceuticals compounds in the waste water, herbicide compounds, and drought) may enhance the symbiotic efficiencies and the synergistic beneficial interactions of the dominant plant species. The aim of this review is to highlight some recent advances in soil microorganism impacts on the contaminants detoxification as global changing main factor to enhance environmental quality against the global warming. Another approach in this review is to improve the understanding of the processes behind the global change, which will contribute to better maintenance of optimum environmental quality, an important component of soil fertility, and therefore is of increasing interest in the sustainable management of marginal and sensitive low-input soils. Our objectives are to discuss possible functioning of detoxification, allocation and partitioning of soil pollutants by AMF and their possible conjugation to glomalin soil protein.
