Abstract
When the outflow of sewage is small enough so that the sewage microorganisms do not completely dominate the marine microflora, those microorganisms carried in sewage are rapidly killed in the sea. A number of different hypotheses have been proposed to account for this kill including dilution, heavy metals, unknown organic compounds, and algal products. The object of this research was to determine precisely the mechanism of kill of intestinal microorganisms in the sea. Most of the data obtained have been published or are in the process of publication. Reprints and preprints are included in this report.
