The ever-increasing world energy demand drives the need for new and sustainable
renewable fuel to mitigate problems associated with greenhouse gas emissions such as …

Hydrogen is an important industrial material and ideal secondary energy. It is widely used in
petrochemical, electronics, metallurgy, food processing, fine organic synthesis, and clean …

Microalgae have received much attention in recent years as a feedstock for producing
renewable fuels. Microalgae cultivation technology is one of the main factors restricting …

Abstract The US Department of Energy and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory are
developing technologies to produce hydrogen from renewable, sustainable sources. A cost …

Green microalgae for several decades have been produced for commercial exploitation,
with applications ranging from health food for human consumption, aquaculture and animal …

One of the biggest challenges for hydrogen (H 2) production via biophotolysis is the
sensitivity of the process to oxygen (O 2), which is the primary inhibitor of the hydrogenase …

Solar energy capture, conversion into chemical energy and biopolymers by
photoautotrophic organisms, is the basis for almost all life on Earth. A broad range of …

Oxygenic photosynthetic organisms use solar energy to split water (H 2 O) into protons (H+),
electrons (e-), and oxygen. A select group of photosynthetic microorganisms, including the …

Hydrogenases (H 2 ases) are metalloproteins. The great majority of them contain iron-sulfur
clusters and two metal atoms at their active center, either a Ni and an Fe atom, the [NiFe]-H 2 …

Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic photosynthetic microbes experience conditions of anoxia,
especially during the night when photosynthetic activity ceases. In Chlamydomonas …
