| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to enhance bacterial hydrogen production. During this research activity, an exhaustive screening using an Escherichia coli mutant library was performed to find a useful gene related to hydrogen production, which could be helpful to fully understand biohydrogen production in E. coli; as a result, there are several uncharacterized genes, which have been never reported that they are related to hydrogen production. In addition, the function of E. coli hydrogenases in hydrogen fermentation from glycerol was studied.
