IU scientists create self-assembling biocatalyst for the production of hydrogen; modified hydrogenase in a virus shell

Green Car Congress

Scientists at Indiana University have created a highly efficient self-assembling biomaterial that catalyzes the formation of hydrogen. In addition, P22-Hyd both breaks the chemical bonds of water to create hydrogen and also works in reverse to recombine hydrogen and oxygen to generate power. —Professor Douglas.

Photobiological Hydrogen Production from Cyanobacteria Encapsulated in a Solid-State System

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Oregon State University (OSU) and the University of Oregon have shown photobiological hydrogen production from one type of cyanobacteria ( Synechocystis sp. Cyanobacteria use water and light in the process of photosynthesis, and try to grow by producing carbohydrates. They also produce some hydrogen, though.
