title: The genome of Pseudomonas putida LF54
design: Pseudomonas putida strain LF54 is the first bacterium reported to date that can use chloral hydrate (CH) as the sole carbon source via an assimilation pathway. Pseudomonas putida strain LF54 was isolated from lotus field soil in the University of Tsukuba in Japan and was identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
