Title: Editorial: Microbial Hydrogen Metabolism

Abstract

Among the most ancient and widespread metabolic traits of microbial life is the ability to interconvert molecular hydrogen H2. Two classes of metalloenzymes, [FeFe]-hydrogenase and [NiFe]-hydrogenase, catalyze the reversible oxidation of H2 to electrons and protons; a third class of hydrogenase, termed [Fe]-hydrogenase or Hmd, catalyzes the reduction of the substrate methenyltetrahydromethanopterin with H2. The three classes of enzyme differ structurally and are phylogenetically unrelated.
