“…The main phyla in their order of relative abundance are: Proteobacteria, Acidobacteriota, Actinobacteriota, Verrucomicrobiota, Myxococota, Chloroflexi, Placntomycetota, and Bacteroidota have been previously reported in Cd contaminated soils; Proteobacteria and Acidobacteriota could resist metal toxicity depending on their complexation and adsorption capabilities ( Liu et al., 2020 ; Luo et al., 2019 ; Wu et al., 2017 ; Cao et al., 2020 ). Not only can Cd concentration influence soil bacterial diversity and abundance, but also physicochemical conditions such as C, pH, C.E.C.I., P, K and microbial predator richness ( Jones et al., (2009) ; Liu et al., (2020) ), with the possibility of isolating and identifying native bacteria resistant to the metal.…”
