The problems of microbial remediation of soils contaminated with heavy metals are considered. The principles of bioremediation, including the active and passive components of this biosorption process, are shown. Examples of bioremediation of coal dumps in Kuzbass, as well as the combination of bio- and phytoremediation, are given. New directions of bioremediation are noted, in particular, using biosurfactants.
