Studies on the spatial and vertical variability of saprophytic bacteria abundance and their physiological properties were carried out in Sopot (the Gulf of Gdańsk) during the summer of 1998 at four different points along a transect perpendicular to the water line. Colony forming units (CFU) bacterial counts reached 104-106 g dry wt. of sediment -1. Bacteria were most abundant in the dune, and least abundant in the beach sand. Halotolerant bacteria were more numerous than limnotolerant ones. Ammonifying and uric acid decomposing bacteria constituted the most abundant physiological groups; sulphate reducing bacteria were least numerous.
