Glycerol is an attractive feedstock for biofuels since it accumulates as a by product during biodiesel operations: hence, here we consider converting glycerol to hydrogen using the formate hydrogen lyase system of Escherichia coli which converts pyruvate to hydrogen Starting with E coli BW25113 frdC that lacks fumarate reductase (this mutation reduces repression of hydrogen synthesis during glycerol fermentation) and by using both adaptive evolution and chemical mutagenesis combined with a selection method based oil increased growth oil glycerol, we obtained an improved strain, HW2. that produces 20-fold more hydrogen in glycerol medium (0 68 +/- 0 16 mmol/L/h) HW2 also grows 5-fold faster (0 25 +/- 0 01/h) than BW25113 frdC on glycerol, so it achieves a reasonable anaerobic growth rate. Corroborating the increase in hydrogen production, glycerol dehydrogenase activity in HW2 increased 4-fold compared to 3W25113 frdC In addition, a whole-transcriptome study revealed that several pathways that would decrease hydrogen yields were repressed in HW2 (fdp, focA, and gatYZ) while a beneficial pathway which en(odes enolase was induced. Ethanol production was also increased 5-fold in the evolved HW2 strain (C) 2009 Elseviei Inc. All rights reserved
