Immobilization of hydrogenases for biophotolytic hydrogen production; stability and kinetics

  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Hydrogenases from Clostridium pasteurianum and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans were immobilized on solid supports with retention of 50% activity. The immobilized enzymes were more stable than the free enzymes and were active in the biophotolytic hydrogen production from water.
