Popis: Heavy metals are a significant source of pollution in soils that have been demonstrated to exert significant toxic effect on soil microbial assemblages. Here we investigate the occurrence and metabolic characteristics of actinobacteria, which form a predominated component of farmland bacterial community near the town of Sereď in southwest Slovakia, contaminated by close nickel ore facility. Actinobacteria occurred in this environment with high concentrations of nickel (2.109 mg/kg), slightly above the natural occurrence of cobalt (355 mg/kg) and zinc (177 mg/kg), even too low concentration of iron (35.75 mg/kg) for a normal soil and not a toxic amount of copper (32.2 mg/kg) and cadmium (
