Biophotolysis has been demonstrated using nitrogen-starved cultures of the blue-green alga Anabaena cylindrica. Individual chapters are devoted to: a review of literature on hydrogen from algae; development of the biophotolysis system; thermophilic blue-green algae; characterization and partial purification of the reversible hydrogenase; purification and properties of nitrogenase; studies with an antibody specific to nitrogenase; nitrogenase regulation in Anabaena cylindrica; and hydrogen production with photosynthetic bacteria.
