Title: Hydrogen production using hydrogenase-containing oxygenic photosynthetic organisms
Usefulness: Hydrogen production using hydrogenase-containing oxygenic photosynthetic organisms
Summary: (M) is useful for the temporal separation of oxygen evolution and hydrogen production in a microorganism (claimed). (M) is useful for sustained photobiological hydrogen gas production in cultures of microorganisms, such as C.reinhardtii.
Novelty: Reversible physiological process for temporal separation of oxygen evolution and hydrogen production in a microorganism, by growing and incubating a culture of the microorganism under illuminated conditions
