Enzymatic oxidation of H2 in atmospheric O2: the electrochemistry of energy generation from trace H2 by aerobic microorganisms.
Certain microorganisms such as Ralstonia spp. can metabolize trace H2 in air because they express an unusual O2-tolerant [NiFe]-hydrogenase. Using protein film voltammetry methods we demonstrate the first quantitative measurements of the oxidation, by a purified enzyme, of physiologically relevant l...
