•Soil microbiome severed as an indicator of soil quality and its productivity.•Plant microbial interaction is the key to improve the plants physiology and their survival capability.•Bamboo plantation may influence the composition and diversity of indigenous microbial communities.•The rhizosphere microbial communities enhance phytoremediation and environmental restoration capability of bamboo.•Advance tools and technologies are desirable to characterize the rhizospheric microbial communities of the bamboo forests. Soil microorganisms play crucial role in maintaining the global nutrient cycle. Soil health status and its nutrient pool rely upon soil microbial community structure and function. Majority of microbes are associated symbiotically with diverse plant and animal species to maintain the growth of plants as well as their own. Soil microorganisms are highly responsible to regulate the plant metabolism and signaling by producing various metabolic compounds, which facilitate growth of plant and also provides immunity against plant diseases. Bamboo is a taxonomic group of plants which is widely distributed in many tropical and subtropical regions. The rhizospheric microbial communities of the bamboo play significant role in the immobilization of various soil nutrients and also enhances the phytoremediation and environmental restoration capability of bamboo. In this regard, the present review critically spotted light on the plant microbial interactions with major emphasis on the bamboo plantation. The diversity of bacteria and fungi in bamboo cultivated forest and how bamboo cultivation influences the microbial community’s dynamic of the soil are critically discussed in the present review. Furthermore, this review cover-up various advance tools and technologies deployed in characterization of bamboo rhizospheric microbial communities. Finally, this review comprehensively explored the phytoremediation and environmental management aspects of bamboo/bamboo biomass along with prospects for the future research.
