Title:
HIGHLY EFFICIENT HYDROGEN PRODUCTION METHOD USING MICROORGANISM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2004/074495
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
It is intended to obtain aerobic microbial cells in an amount sufficient for a reaction of evolving hydrogen, impart a hydrogen-evolving function to an aerobic microorganism within a short time and provide an industrially advantageous method of producing hydrogen. The above objects can be established by providing a highly efficient microbial hydrogen production method characterized by comprising culturing a microorganism having a formate dehydrogenase gene and a hydrogenase gene under aerobic conditions, culturing the thus obtained microbial cells under anaerobic conditions in a liquid culture medium containing a formic acid compound, and then using the thus obtained cells for evolving hydrogen.
