The reversible interconversion of molecular hydrogen and protons is one of the most ancient
microbial metabolic reactions and catalyzed by hydrogenases. A widespread yet largely …

Self-assembled molecular monolayers (SAMs) have long been recognized as crucial
“bridges” between redox enzymes and solid electrode surfaces, on which the enzymes …

Hydrogenase intolerance to oxygen remains a critical hurdle on the road to photosynthetic
hydrogen production for sustainable energy demands. Although the engineering of the …

Glycerol is an organic waste material that can be used for the production of microbial
biomass, consequently providing valuable biocatalysts promoting the generation of …

Abstract [NiFe]‐hydrogenases catalyze the reversible conversion of molecular hydrogen into
protons end electrons. This reaction takes place at a NiFe (CN) 2 (CO) cofactor located in …

Kap. 3 hat gezeigt, dass die herkömmliche Herstellung von Wasserstoff mit einer
bedeutenden CO 2-Emission einhergeht. Kap. 4 diskutiert deshalb, welche biologischen …

I hereby declare that this thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award
of any other degree or diploma at any university or equivalent institution and that, to the best …

This paper presents a control architecture suitable for autotrophic cultivations in a stirred
tank reactor feeding a gas mixture of H 2/CO 2/O 2. No metabolic information about the …

The establishment of sustainable economy may be based on molecular hydrogen as an
energy-storage molecule and requires the development of cheap catalysts, which are able …
