Abstract To assess the biopotential for remediation, microbiological ex situ activities were examined in a subsurface site contaminated in the past with fluctuating hydrocarbon amounts. A novel method for estimating the proportion of hydrocarbon degraders was used. There was not in all cases a correlation between the results of chemical analysis and microbiological activities. However, the level of soil respiration (between 440 and 515 μg CO2/g dry weight h−1) correlated well with hydrocarbon contamination of the subsurface.
