MICROBIAL DIVERSITY IN TECHNOGENICALLY IMPACTED SOILS OF EASTERN KAZAKHSTAN
Technogenically impacted soils of Eastern Kazakhstan, particularly in mining regions such as the Bakyrchik and Bolshevik deposits, represent extreme environments characterized by high concentrations of heavy metals. This study investigates the structure and diversity of microbial communities in these metal-rich soils. Findings reveal dominant bacterial genera with resistance to Zn, Cu, and As, highlighting their ecological role and potential in bioremediation strategies.
