Int J Mol Sci. 2008 Jun;9(7):1156-1172. doi: 10.3390/ijms9071156. Epub 2008 Jul 8.

Abstract

Photoinduced biohydrogen production systems, coupling saccharaides biomass such as sucrose, maltose, cellobiose, cellulose, or saccharides mixture hydrolysis by enzymes and glucose dehydrogenase (GDH), and hydrogen production with platinum colloid as a catalyst using the visible light-induced photosensitization of Mg chlorophyll-a (Mg Chl-a) from higher green plant or artificial chlorophyll analog, zinc porphyrin, are introduced.

Keywords: biohydrogen; biomass; enzymatic hydrolysis; photoenergy; photosynthesis; saccharide.
