摘要
With the global attention and research now being focussed on looking for an alternative to fossil fuel, hydrogen is the hope of future. Cyanobacteria are highly promising microorganisms for biological photohydrogen production. The review highlights the advancement in the biology of cyanobacterial hydrogen production in recent years. It discusses the enzymes involved in hydrogen production, viz. hydrogenases and nitrogenases, various strategies developed by cyanobacteria to limit nitrogenase inactivation by atmospheric and photosynthetic O-2, different biochemical and physicochemical parameters influencing the commercial cyanobacterial hydrogen production and the methods opted by different researchers for eliminating them to obtain maximum and sustained hydrogen production. Integrating the existing knowledge, techniques and expertise available, much future improvement and progress can be made in the field.
