Abstract:
The present invention relates to a Thermococcus onnurineus NA1 mutant having improved hydrogen producibility from formate and a method for producing hydrogen using the same. According to the present, the mutated Thermococcus onnurineus NA1 has improved hydrogen producibility in a medium including formate rather than a wild type, and improved growth velocity compared to the wild type. If a strain according to the present invention is used, hydrogen can be produced from formic acid at high efficiency.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel amidase, a gene encoding thereof, and a production method of caprolactam by using the amidase and the gene. The amidase of the present invention is capable of producing alpha-amino-epsilon-caprolactam from lysine. The alpha-amino-epsilon-caprolactam is a material for nylon and is internationally mass-produced. Therefore, the present invention provides a novel method of producing the alpha-amino-epsilon-caprolactam which is an environmentally friendly material for nylon.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel hydrogenases separated from new hyperthermophilic strains belonging to Thermococcus genus, genes encoding the same, and a method for producing hydrogen using the same. According to a method for producing hydrogen of the present invention, a large amount of hydrogen can be produced by culturing the strains in a specific culture condition and therefore, it is more economical and effective compared to the existing method for producing hydrogen and hydrogen can be produced at a high temperature.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A carbon monoxide dissolution device for producing hydrogen using anaerobic microorganisms is provided to help hydrogen-producing anaerobic microorganisms to effectively use carbon monoxides when hydrogen is produced, thereby enhancing hydrogen production efficiency. CONSTITUTION: A carbon monoxide dissolution device (100) for producing hydrogen using anaerobic microorganisms comprises: a main body (110) with an opening (111); tube cassettes (120) which have a tube for allowing a culture medium containing hydrogen-producing anaerobic microorganisms and carbon monoxides to pass; and a fitting member (130) which provides a delayed path for delaying time for dissolving the carbon monoxides. The tubes have supply ports (123) and outlets (124) by connecting the tubes between the tube cassettes. The both ends of the tubes are exposed to the outside to help the tube to be connected to other tubes.
