Some physiological groups of bacteria can be good indicators of the oil pollution of the environment. Oil contamination represents a special problem because of their persistence and possibility of reaching drinking water supply sources. The destruction of the Novi Sad Oil Refinery in the hinterland of water supply source Ratno Ostrvo has endangered drinking water supply of the city of Novi Sad. As an acceptable protection measure appeared the solution with the hydraulic barrier located along the east side of the Refinery, bordering with the water supply source. Physiological groups of bacteria relevant to oil contamination (hydrocarbon-oxidizing and lipolytic bacteria) were detected in the waters of the barrier wells. The appearance and population of this microflora in the water of these wells were more pronounced compared with the waters of a control piezometer in the hinterland of the water supply source.
