This review focuses on the management of petroleum hydrocarbon (PHC)-contaminated saline soils and the potential of halophytes acting in concert with synergistic microbes to degrade PHCs. The goals were to identify optimal combinations of halophyte(s) and the bacteria present as endophytes and/or associated with the rhizosphere and determine what factors most strongly affect their viability.
