The rhizosphere generally refers to the portion of soil found adjacent to the roots of living plants. The rhizosphere is subject to the influence of chemicals excreted by roots of living plants and the microbial community in this microzone. The rhizosphere is the zone of soil surrounding a plant root where the biology and chemistry of the soil are influenced by the root. As plant roots grow through soil they mostly release water soluble compounds such as amino acids, sugars and organic acids that supply food for the microorganisms. It is an important component of the plant ecosystem which influences the plant health in natural and stressed conditions. It is composed of the diverse microbial communities whose presence is influenced by the root exudates. The rhizosphere and its microbial community constitute the rhizomicrobiome. The rhizosphere can be divided into two regions (Lynch, 1982): endorhizosphere, including the inner root region (stele with conducing elements: xylem and phloem,
