Microbes engineered to produce hydrogen, a promising renewable fuel, from diverse feedstocks.
Scientists are working on ways to make hydrogen fuel using living organisms. They are using genetic engineering to make these organisms produce more hydrogen. By changing the enzymes and genes in the organisms, they can increase the amount of hydrogen they make. They are also looking at using different types of organisms and materials to improve hydrogen production. In the future, they hope to better understand how these organisms make hydrogen and find solutions to problems like slow growth in engineered organisms.
