Virginia Tech team develops process for high-yield production of hydrogen from xylose under mild conditions

Green Car Congress

The findings of their study, published in the journal Angewandte Chemie, International Edition , suggest that cell-free biosystems could produce hydrogen from biomass xylose at low cost. In the process, hydrogen is produced from xylose and water in one reactor containing 13 enzymes, including a novel polyphosphate xylulokinase (XK).
