摘要
An effect of various physico-chemical parameters on nitrogenase-catalyzed oxygen-free hydrogen production by Nostoc muscorum was demonstrated. More hydrogen was produced in the light than in the dark. Optimum temperature was 40 degreesC. Various sugars increased hydrogen production whereas on easily metabolized nitrogen sources it was inhibited. The production was sensitive to salinity and Fe3+, CU2+, Zn2+ and Ni2+ ions. Ultrastructural study revealed many electron-dense layers outside the cell-wall area that have not been observed earlier.
