NOVEL HYDROGENASES OF SEQUENCE NUMBER 7 PURIFIED FROM THERMOCOCCUS SPP. BY USING FORMATE, GENES ENCODING THEM, AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING HYDROGEN USING MICROORGANISM HAVING THE GENES

摘要

The present invention relates to novel hydrogenases separated from new hyperthermophilic strains belonging to Thermococcus genus, genes encoding the same, and a method for producing hydrogen using the same. According to a method for producing hydrogen of the present invention, a large amount of hydrogen can be produced by culturing the strains in a specific culture condition and therefore, it is more economical and effective compared to the existing method for producing hydrogen and hydrogen can be produced at a high temperature.
