  1. 1. Development of PCR primers for community studies of bacterial hydrogenases in environmental samples

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics (until 131231)

    Author : Ernest Ndobe Ndobe; [2013]
    Keywords : uptake hydrogenase; bacterial community; biological nitrogen fixation; symbiosis;

    Abstract : Soil microorganisms interact with plants in ways that affect nutrient availability, hormonal regulation and often lead to improved plant growth. In the N2-fixing root nodule symbiosis between legume plants and bacteria generally called rhizobia the plant gains access to atmospheric nitrogen. READ MORE

  4. 3. Hydrogen production in Escherichia coli : Genetic engineering of the formate hydrogenlyase complex

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Charlotte Hjersing; [2011]
    Keywords : Escherichia coli; Formate hydrogenlyase; Hydrogenase; Oxygen tolerance;

    Abstract : Biofuels that are renewable and environmentally benign constitute an important area of research, as the supply of fossil fuels decreases and the amount of green house gases in the atmosphere increases. Biohydrogen is not as well explored as other biofuels, but its properties render it a promising complement, as it is clean and can be used directly in fuel cells to generate electricity, the only waste products being water and heat.

  5. 4. Comparative genomics : understanding regulation ofhydrogenases in the nitrogen-fixing Frankia

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Genetics and Plant Physiology

    Author : Chatchai Kosawang; [2009]
    Keywords : Genomics; Hydrogenases; Nitrogen fixation; Frankia;

    Abstract : Frankia is a facultative symbiont actinomycete living with the dicotyledonousplant worldwide. Two hydrogenase functions- uptake hydrogenase and hydrogenevolvinghydrogenase- have been so far reported in Frankia species, while thepresence of [Fe] hydrogenase function was surmised. READ MORE
