Surface mining activities, despite their benefits,
lead to the deterioration of local and regional environmental
quality and play a role in global ecosystem
pollution. This research aimed to estimate the culturable
microbial population structure at five locations near the
opencast coal mine “Kakanj” (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
via agar plate and phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA)
method and to establish its relationship to the physical
and chemical properties of soil. Using the ICP-OES
method, the heavy metal pollution of all examined locations
(overburden, former grass yard, forest, arable
soil, and greenhouse) was observed. Substantial variations
among the sites regarding the most expressed
indicators of heavy metal pollution were noted; Cr, Pb,
Ni, and Cu content ranged from 63.17 to 524.47, 20.57
to 349.47, 139.13 to 2785.67, and 25.97 to
458.73 mg/kg, respectively. In the overburden sample,
considerable low microbial activity was detected; the
bacterial count was appro...ximately 6- to 18-fold lower in
comparison with the other samples. PLFA analysis
showed the reduction of microbial diversity, reflected
through the prevalence of normal and branched saturated
fatty acids, their ratio (ranged from 0.92 to 7.13), and
the absence of fungal marker 18:2ω6 fatty acid. The
principal component analysis showed a strong negative
impact of heavy metals Na and B on main microbial and
PLFA profiles. In contrast, stock of main chemical parameters,
including Ca, K, Fe, and pH, was positively
correlated with the microbial community structure.
