Abstract: Soil pollution is a global environmental problem that poses a threat to ecological balance and human health. Microbial soil remediation is an eco-friendly technology that utilizes microorganisms to degrade or transform soil pollutants. Due to some drawbacks of traditional soil remediation methods, microbial remediation method has become a hot research topic nowadays. In recent years, the development of genomics analysis technology has greatly promoted the progress of microbial remediation research, and the use of genomics approach is free from the technical constraints of traditional research and can efficiently obtain the relative abundance of microbial communities and other information. In this paper, we reviewed the application of genomics in microbial soil remediation, and discussed the genomic analysis of several examples of heavy metal contaminated soil remediation, which provides a reference for researchers to quickly screen analytical methods in the field of microbial soil remediation, and reveals the biological significance of genomics analytical techniques.
