dc.description.abstractAmendment of simple organic carbon, in the presence of inorganic nutrients, to oil contaminated beach sediments can potentially stimulate the biodegradation of hydrocarbons by the indigenous microbial biomass. The ability of crude palm oil (CPO) and fatty acids, in the presence of soluble inorganic nutrients (C:N:P = 100:10:1), to stimulate biodegradation in sediments amended with Arabian light crude oil was investigated in laboratory microcosms over a 30-day period.
