Harbor sediments are commonly contaminated with hydrocarbons from shipping activities, fuel spills, runoff, and inputs from sewage treatment plants. Once in the sediments, PAHs may persist until degraded, resuspened, bioaccummulated, or removed. Microbial metabolism could be expected to have a significant role in removing PAHs from harbor sediments only if PAHs could be degraded under sulfate-reducing or Fe(III)-reducing conditions. This study examines degradation of PAHs under sulfate-reducing conditions. 27 refs., 3 figs.
