NOVEL HYDROGENASES 2 PURIFIED FROM THERMOCOCCUS SPP. BY USING CARBON MONOOXIDE, GENES ENCODING THEM, AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING HYDROGEN USING MICROORGANISM HAVING THE GENES

摘要

PURPOSE: A novel hydrogenase isolated from Thermococcus spp. and a method for producing hydrogen using the same are provided to produce hydrogen without high temperature and pressure. CONSTITUTION: A hydrogenase contains an amino acid sequence of sequence number 5. A gene encoding the hydrogenase contains a base sequence of sequence number 16. A method for producing hydrogen from Thermococcus spp. comprises: a step of preparing a medium; a step of culturing Thermococcus spp. in the medium; and a step of isolating hydrogen. The medium contains carbon monoxide. The Thermococcus spp. is Thermococcus onnurineus NA1(deposit number: KCTC 10859BP).
