Abstract Fungi and bacteria often share common microhabitats. Their co-occurrence and coevolution give rise to manifold ecological interactions in the mycosphere, here defined as the microhabitats surrounding and affected by hyphae and mycelia. The extensive structure of mycelia provides ideal “logistic networks” for transport of bacteria and matter in structurally and chemically heterogeneous soil ecosystems. We describe the characteristics of the mycosphere as a unique and highly dynamic bacterial habitat and a hot spot for contaminant biotransformation. In particular, we emphasize the role of the mycosphere for (i) bacterial dispersal and colonization of subsurface interfaces and new habitats, (ii) matter transport processes and contaminant bioaccessibility, and (iii) the functional stability of microbial ecosystems when exposed to environmental fluctuations such as stress or disturbances. Adopting concepts from ecological theory, the chapter disentangles bacterial–fungal impacts on contaminant biotransformation in a systemic approach that interlinks empirical data from microbial ecosystems with simulation data from computational models. This approach provides generic information on key factors, processes, and ecological principles that drive microbial contaminant biotransformation in soil. We highlight that the transport processes create favorable habitat conditions for efficient bacterial contaminant degradation in the mycosphere. In-depth observation, understanding, and prediction of the role of mycosphere transport processes will support the use of bacterial–fungal interactions in nature-based solutions for contaminant biotransformation in natural and man-made ecosystems, respectively.
