title: [The resistance of soil microorganisms to soil pollution by heavy metals].
abstract: Microbial communities of grey podzolized soil of Left-Bank Ukraine are characterized by high potential resistance to pollution with heavy metals: above 40% of organotrophic microorganisms are capable to resist to pollution with a mixture of heavy metals (Cu2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, Zn2+) in a dose of 20 MPC of each metal. Relative amount of resistant microorganisms in polluted soil increases up to 93%. White zeolites and biohumus are promising for reclamation of soils polluted with heavy metals. They decrease toxic effect of heavy metals on soil microflora and promote development of microflora resistant to pollution.
