Abstract
The present invention relates to recombinant microorganisms for producing biological hydrogen. In addition, the invention relates to nucleic acid constructs and processes for modifying microorganisms for enabling the production of hydrogen therefrom.
Claims28
A recombinant microorganism for producing hydrogen gas, wherein the microorganism comprises:
- exogenous nucleic acid sequences encoding one or more proteins for enabling the microorganism to produce hydrogen,
- wherein the one or more proteins comprise an Fe—Fe dependent hydrogenase such as HydA,
- wherein the nucleic acid sequences are operably linked to one or more promoters for enabling expression of the nucleic acid sequences in the microorganism, and
- wherein the microorganism comprises a genetic modification which promotes utilisation of carbon via the pentose phosphate pathway.
