1. Background
1-1. Shortage of fossil fuel
1-2. Environmental problems : greenhouse effect…
“Needs for clean energy production”
- wind
- tidal power
- solar energy
- hydrogen
“Different H2 producing micro-organisms ”
Cyanobacteria(Mitsui, 1981)
Green algae(Gaffron & Rubin, 1942)
Anaerobic bacteria(Yasuo, 1999)
1. Background
2. Photobiological H2 production by cyanobacteria
2-1. Cyanobacteria
- Present in all marine environment
- Photosynthetic prokaryote
- Some N2-fixers
2-2. H2 producing cyanobacteria
- H2 production under CO2-free condition
- Using N2ase & H2ase
2-3. Cyanobacterial H2 - clean energy
- sun light, H2O O2, H2
- cell as biocatalyst
- room-temperature reaction
(H2O 2H2, O2)
light
2. Photobiological H2 production by cyanobacteria
2-4. H2 production by N2-fixing cyanobacteria
photosynthesis: with CO2 → organic matter, O2
H2 production: without CO2 → H2O bio-photolysis
↗ O2
light ↗
H2O → → PS → (CH2O) ↗ ↗ CO2
(CH2O) → FD → H2ase, N2ase → H2
N2 + 8H+ + 16ATP → 2NH3 + H2 + 16ADP + 16Pi
