Abstract
An isolated polypeptide comprising a hydrogen generating enzyme attached to a heterologous ferredoxin is disclosed, as well as polynucleotides encoding same, nucleic acid constructs capable of expressing same and cells expressing same. A method for generating hydrogen using the isolated polypeptide is also disclosed.
Claims23
An isolated polypeptide comprising an algal Fe-only hydrogenase attached to an algal ferredoxin, wherein the polypeptide is capable of generating at least four time more hydrogen from electrons donated thereto from methyl viologen than native hydrogenase.
