Abstract
The hydrogenase activity of P. vulgaris can be increased about 2-fold by exposing the cells to intense visible light sources. This activation which depends on the light intensity persists even after the light is turned off and the gas phase replaced with a new sample of gas. The light activation of CO-inhibited hydrogenase is due to an activation of the residual active enzyme by light.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
