This article focuses on microbial response to heavy metal in polluted soils. Heavy metal contamination of soils has significant implications for human health and the ability of ecosystems to function properly. It is important to understand how microorganisms are affected by this pollution because they control most biogeochemical processes and ecosystem productivity. Furthermore, rapid and reliable methods for monitoring soil microbial communities are needed in conjunction with physicochemical tests to guide remediation and provide means to determine the degree and level of restoration of polluted soils. Recent development of molecular and biochemical techniques has enabled a better understanding of microbial community structures in soil ecosystems, with most of the species being unknown and unculturable. One widely used approach is the analysis of microbial phospholipid-linked fatty acid composition. |
