Abstract

Hydrogenases, which are widely distributed in bacterial and algal species catalyse the reversible oxidation of molecular hydrogen as indicated by the equation:
$${{H}_{2}} \rightleftharpoons 2{{H}^{ + }} + 2{{e}^{ - }}$$
(1)
They play an important role in energy-linked electron transfer of many organisms that utilize hydrogen as a source of energy (Adams, Mortenson and Chen, 1981; Odom and Peck, 1984; Fauque et al., 1988).
