Estimating the term…
According to one embodiment, an engineered cell comprises a chloroplast-containing cell and a conductor inserted into the cell, wherein the conductor is inserted so as to contact or penetrate the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast, whereby the engineered cell is engineered so that photosynthetic electrons can be extracted out of the cell by light; a metal catalyst using the engineered cell; and a hydrogen production method using the engineered cell. By using the metal catalyst, oxygen generated during photosynthesis can be catalyzed and self-regulated at a low concentration and protons can be catalyzed to provide a hydrogen production system and method that enable sustained hydrogen production.
