Abstract

The use of microalgae for the production of biohydrogen is one of the promising areas of modern biotechnology and applied algology. In green microalgae cells, the process of biohydrogen synthesis is carried out in the electron transport chain of chloroplasts by the enzyme [FeFe]-hydrogenase and serves as a physiological adaptation to anaerobic conditions. A detailed understanding of the mechanism of biohydrogen synthesis makes it possible to more efficiently use microalgae as a source of environmentally clean fuel. This analytical review examines the mechanisms of H2 bioproduction and its potential roles in physiology, as well as approaches to stimulating H2 production for biotechnological purposes.
