Abstract

This article summarizes recent advances in the field of algal hydrogen production. Two fundamental approaches are being developed. One involves the temporal separation of the usually incompatible reactions of O₂ and H₂ production in green algae, and the second involves the use of classical genetics to increase the O₂ tolerance of the reversible hydrogenase enzyme. The economic and environmental impact of a renewable source of H₂ are also discussed. Copyright (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
