title: Dechlorination of chloral hydrate is influenced by the biofilm adhesin protein LapA in Pseudomonas putida LF54.
abstract: LapA is the largest surface adhesion protein of Pseudomonas putida that initiates biofilm formation. Here, by using transposon insertion mutagenesis and a conditional lapA mutant, we demonstrate for the first time that LapA influences chloral hydrate (CH) dechlorination in P. putida LF54.
