Pathways Involved in Reductant Distribution during Photobiological H2 Production by Rhodobacter sphaeroides

摘要

We used global transcript analyses and mutant studies to investigate the pathways that impact H2 production in the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides. We found that H2 production capacity is related to the levels of expression of the nitrogenase and hydrogenase enzymes and the enzymes of the Calvin-Benson-Bassham pathway.
