10.22376/ijpbs.2019.10.1.p1-12 Volume 4 Issue 4 2013 (October - December) The present study was focused on the microbial community of soil collected from industrial areas of Mysore district. The collected soil samples from industrial areas were analyzed for pH, Temperature, Electrical conductivity, Moisture content, Water holding capacity and heavy metal analysis such as Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Nickel (Ni), Chromium (Cr) Lead (Pb), and Cadmium (Cd) and by AAS method. Physiochemical analysis was revealed that the pH from 5.82 to 6.90, temperature from 26 to 31 lessThan sup greaterThan o lessThan /sup greaterThan C, EC from 45.4 to 197.8µmho/cm, moisture content from 2.45 to 3.72 percent, water holding capacity varies from 30 to 45 percent. This study was navigated to isolate the microorganisms from heavy metal contaminated site. The Iron (Fe) content were ranged between 1.96 to 3.88g/kg, Copper (Cu) content was ranging from 45 to 63mg/kg, Zinc (Zn) content varies from 35 to 58mg/kg, Nickel (Ni) content is ranging from 9.8 to 14.6mg/kg, Chromium (Cr) content is ranging from 3.8 to 13.8mg/kg. It has been found that Lead (Pb) and Cadmium (Cd) concentrations were low in most of the samples of the study area. The fungal species were identified as lessThan i greaterThan Aspergillus sp., Fusarium sp., Penicillium sp., Rhizopus sp., lessThan /i greaterThan and lessThan i greaterThan Curvularia sp., lessThan /i greaterThan in all the soil samples. Among all the species lessThan i greaterThan Aspergillus lessThan /i greaterThan lessThan i greaterThan sp., lessThan /i greaterThan are more dominant in all soil samples of the study area.
