This review summarizes the recent papers published about the microbial communities under the conditions of persistent heavy metals around the world. Many microbial communities’ study has demonstrated intense changes in the community composition, and microbial diversity caused by heavy metals, environmental pollution as well as adaptation processes allowing survival of microbes in metal-polluted ecosystems. The effect of heavy metals such as Cu, Pb, Hg, Ni, Cd, Zn, and As on soil microbial communities in mediated soil are reviewed. The different sensitivity measurement, toxicity of metals, relative toxicity is discussed. In recent years, industrial activities have a significant influence on the environment. Especially, heavy metals such as Hg, Cr, Pb, Mn, and As, have induced seriously affected the soil microbial communities, cause diseases and even death of organisms through contaminated soils, although heavy metals in trace amounts are beneficial even significant to organisms. The effect of heavy metals on soil microbial communities is still poorly understood. That how microbial communities respond to environmental changes is a key issue in ecology. In the future further work needed to understand the microbial community under persistent heavy metals, their effects, how to reduce and decrease the microbial diversity, and resistance of specific bacterial species to heavy metals.

这篇综述总结了最近发表的有关全球持久性重金属条件下微生物群落的论文。许多微生物群落的研究表明，群落组成发生了剧烈变化，重金属，环境污染以及适应过程使微生物在金属污染的生态系统中得以生存，造成了微生物多样性。综述了Cu，Pb，Hg，Ni，Cd，Zn和As等重金属对介导土壤中微生物群落的影响。讨论了不同的灵敏度测量，金属毒性，相对毒性。近年来，工业活动对环境具有重大影响。特别是重金属，例如汞，铬，铅，锰和砷，已严重影响了土壤微生物群落，尽管微量的重金属对生物体甚至是有益的，但它都会通过被污染的土壤而引起疾病甚至使生物体死亡。重金属对土壤微生物群落的影响仍然知之甚少。微生物群落如何应对环境变化是生态学中的关键问题。将来需要做进一步的工作来了解持久性重金属下的微生物群落，它们的作用，如何减少和减少微生物多样性以及特定细菌对重金属的抵抗力。微生物群落如何应对环境变化是生态学中的关键问题。将来需要做进一步的工作来了解持久性重金属下的微生物群落，它们的作用，如何减少和减少微生物多样性以及特定细菌对重金属的抵抗力。微生物群落如何应对环境变化是生态学中的关键问题。将来需要做进一步的工作来了解持久性重金属下的微生物群落，它们的作用，如何减少和减少微生物多样性以及特定细菌对重金属的抵抗力。
