The process comprises a number of enzymes: (1) phosphorylases, (2) phosphoglucomutases, (3) hydrogenases, and (4) enzymes involved in the pentose-phosphate pathway. Preferred embodiments of the process produce only hydrogen and carbon dioxide as net products, translating into an inexpensive method of generating hydrogen in very large quantities from low-cost feedstocks.application/pdfen-USBiohydrogen production by an artificial enzymatic pathwayPatenthttp://pimg-fpiw.uspto.gov/fdd/81/116/082/0.pdf11747496423/648.1429/2435/166435/168C12P3/00H01M8/16Y02E60/527Y02P70/568211681
