Sažetak
The aim of the study was to characterize marine sediments for following studies of microbial biodiversity, gene mining and bioprospecting. Further, data on the sediment quality in the Eastern Adriatic regarding heavy metals, PAHs and PCBs concentrations are urgently needed, because the environmental authorities have to define limits for contaminants in sediments for different use of marine resources. We collected sediment at 5 locations in Rovinj costal area according human activities. Sediment chemical analyses and leachates toxicity sort our sites S5 and S4 as pristine areas, and ranked sites regarding degrees of contamination (S5<S4<S3<S2<S1) and decreasing phytotoxic effects (S5›S4›S1›S2›S3).
