Abstract
Rhodopseudomonas palustris is one of several types of microorganisms that produce hydrogen gas (H2), a deceptively simple molecule consisting of two protons and two electrons. We study how R. palustris produces H2 in part because this organism so aptly illustrates the different types of data and skill sets that are required to bring a microbial metabolic property into practical use. Focused studies on specific mechanisms, broader approaches to decipher extensive biological networks, and nonbiological skills such as those needed to design and operate hydrogen-producing reactors all come into play as part of an effort to harness microbes to augment and replace unsustainable petrochemical processes.
