| Sulfide Stimulation of Light-Induced Hydrogen Evolution by the Cyanobacterium Nostoc muscorum  | | | | Abstract
| Light-induced hydrogen evolution by the blue-green alga N ostoc muscorum is stim ulated by sulfide with a rate of about 20 (imol H 2 per mg chlorophyll and h our stable for about one day at low light intensities (7 W /m 2). Oxygen evolution does not im pair sulfide-stim ulated hydrogen formation. Increased hydrogen evolution is catalyzed by nitrogenase, its activity is not influenced by sulfide. Apparently, sulfide inhibits the hydrogen-uptake pathw ay(s), thereby increasing net hydrogen evolution. — Furtherm ore, photosynthetic electron flow is inhibited by sulfide, essen tially at the oxidizing side o f photosystem II, as was dem onstrated by fluorescence-signal changes. This leads to decreased electron supply o f nitrogenase. Hydrogen production apparently is at optim um when both the effect o f sulfide on photo synthesis is moderate and when uptake-hydrogenase activity is abolished. | | | |
