摘要: We identified and characterized a Chlamydomonas mutant (hpm91) lacking PGR5 which can produce H2 for 25 days with a more than 30-fold increase in yield as compared to wild type. This capacity exceeds that of another pgr5 mutant and qualifies hpm91 as the algal strain with the highest H2-photoproduction.

Abstract:

We have identified hpm91, a Chlamydomonas mutant lacking Proton Gradient Regulation5 (PGR5) capable of producing hydrogen (H2) for 25 days with more than 30-fold yield increase compared to wild type. Thus, hpm91 displays a higher capacity of H2 production than a previously characterized pgr5 mutant. Physiological and biochemical characterization of hpm91 reveal that the prolonged H2 production is due to enhanced stability of PSII, which correlates with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging capacity during sulfur deprivation. This anti-ROS response appears to protect the photosynthetic electron transport chain from photo-oxidative damage and thereby ensures electron supply to the hydrogenase.

Key words: Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, hpm91, hydrogen photoproduction, oxidative stress, photosystem II, sulfur deprivation
