Abstract

The present invention relates to novel facultative methylotrophic microorganisms of the genus Pseudomonas, or of a genus Pseudomonas-type genus, to protein-containing biomass, and to a process for the microbiological purification of aqueous solutions, e.g. wastewater solutions, which contain methanol, ethanol, acetate, glucose, alkylammonium compounds, e.g., trimethylethylammonium chloride, or alkylamine oxides, e.g. trimethylamine oxide, as pollutants.
