Description/Abstract

 * My team are currently trying to produce molecular hydrogen within an in vivo system. To do that we will introduce into R. etli an hydrogenase as well as other genes which imrpove the production of hydrogen; this hydrogenase belong to a gruop of enzymes which contain Fe-S cores necessary for the protons' reduction, the activity of these enzymes is affected by O2, so for the correct operation of them it's nedeed an anaerobic enviroment. We will provide this enviroment because R. etli is a symbiont of the common bean Phaseolus vulgaris supplying N2 to the plant, to do it R. etli acquire the bacteroide conformation within structures located at the root of the bean, called nodules where there's an anearobial microenviroment necessary for the production of N2 and also ideal for the production of H2.
