Abstract
The concentration of oil in the sediment of Colgate Creek in Baltimore Harbour of Chesapeake Bay increased significantly after accidental oil spill. A month after a spill, the concentration of oil in sediment diminished by ca. 75%. Microbial degradation of oil by bacteria present in Colgate Creek sediment offers the most plausible explanation for the decreases observed in the total oil content of the sediment after spills.
