The assimilation of nutrients by plants is assisted by millions of soil microbes that possess the ability to depolymerize or mineralize nutrients into an available form to plants. A deficiency in micronutrients can disrupt the morphological and physiological growth of plants. Accessibility to both micro and macro nutrients by utilizing microorganisms has emerged as an excellent strategy in sustainable agriculture. Microbes found in the soil-root interface have the potential to solubilize the trace element. The abundant proliferation of Plant Growth-Promoting Microorganisms (PGPMs) in the rhizosphere is advantageous for plants, as these microorganisms are widely acknowledged for their growth-promoting activities. Nevertheless, there is still a considerable amount to discover regarding the physiology and mechanisms governing the absorption, translocation, and deposition of plant micronutrients facilitated by rhizobacteria.  Microbes enhance plant growth by altering hormonal signaling, inhibiting pathogens, or increasing nutrient bioavailability. Application of microbial inoculants to plants at an early stage of development enhances their performances even under stress conditions. PGPM has come up as a reliable alternative to replace the chemicals in agricultural sectors as an environment cleanup strategy. This review highlights the role of soil microbes and their mechanisms they adopt in plant nutrient mobilization and uptake. https://www.agriculturejournal.org/volume13number2/uptake-of-micro-nutrients-by-plants-through-microbial-channels-a-review/ Micronutrients; PGPR; Plant growth; Rhizosphere; Trace elements
