Reversible bacterial immobilization based on the salt-dependent adhesion of the bacterionanofiber protein AtaA

Abstract Background Immobilization of microbial cells is an important strategy for the efficient use of whole-cell catalysts because it simplifies product separation, enables the cell concentration to be increased, stabilizes enzymatic activity, and permits repeated or continuous biocatalyst use.
