ABSTRACT
Heavy metal toxicity in the soil has proven to be a major threat to the soil texture, plants, and human health. The most commonly found heavy metals in soil come with the waste water comprise arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, and zinc. All the above discussed heavy metals cause risks to the plant, human, and environment health. A variety of causes of heavy metals containing soil erosion, natural weathering of the earth’s crust, mining, industrial effluents, urban runoff, sewage discharge, insect or disease control agents of crops, and many others factor has reported for the heavy metal toxicity. Several studies were conducted on the role of soil microbial community for the scavenging of heavy metals in recent decades. Heavy metal biore-mediation with the help of suitable microbial community is a very efficient strategy due the ecofriendly and low-cost inputs. Recent advancements in the 360research of microbe-heavy metal interaction and their efficient application for the leaching or accumulation for further detoxification have been established.
