METHOD FOR PRODUCING HYDROGEN BY OXYGEN-GENERATING PHOTOSYNTHETIC MICROORGANISM USING PHOTOSYNTHESIS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for making an oxygen-generating photosynthetic microorganism efficiently produce hydrogen using sunshine energy by increasing the photosynthetic function (water oxidation rate) of oxygen-generating photosynthetic microorganism using a gene recombination technology.;SOLUTION: The method for increasing a water decomposition rate by photosynthesis using an oxygen-generating photosynthetic microorganism comprises increasing oxygen-generating activity per photochemical system II by leaving at least one of a plurality of genes encoding the reaction center protein D1 of photochemical system II constituting the photosynthetic electron transport system of oxygen-generating photosynthetic microorganism and destroying the other genes.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
