From an activated sludge sample, microorganisms capable to degrade monomethylamine (MMA), dimethylamine (DMA), trimethylamine (TMA), and dimethylformamide (DMF) were isolated. These compounds are present in the wastewaters from a petrochemical plant. Microbial communities were cultivated, in aerobic conditions in a 2-liter bioreactor fed with the wastewater. Only four different kinds of microorganisms were obtained, but they could maintain their degradative capacity after several transfers. This microbial biomass was able to reduce 90% of the dissolved pollutants in a sample of industrial wastewater, mainly MMA, DMA, TMA, and DMF, measured as dissolved organic carbon, in approximately 5 days.
从活性污泥样品中分离出了能够降解一甲胺（MMA）、二甲胺（DMA）、三甲胺（TMA）和二甲基甲酰胺（DMF）的微生物。这些化合物存在于一家石化厂的废水中。微生物群落是在一个2升的生物反应器中，在有氧条件下，用该废水进行培养的。只获得了四种不同类型的微生物，但它们在多次传代后仍能保持其降解能力。这种微生物生物质能够在大约5天内将工业废水样品中90%的溶解污染物（主要是MMA、DMA、TMA和DMF，以溶解有机碳计）去除。
