| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Trametes versicolor K-41, which was selected as the hydrogen-producing white-rot fungus, aerobically produced hydrogen in the woody medium. Hydrogenase (HYD) is involved in the hydrogen production, and the molecular breeding of HYD gene-overexpressing transformants was carried out. We obtained the transformant which showed 1.5-fold higher hydrogen-producing ability than wild type. Moreover, the strain K-41 produces hydrogen via the oxalate-formate pathway.
