Description: This award supports a US-India cooperative research project entitled Improvement of Biohydrogen Production by Investigation on the Hydrogenase Coding Gene of High Yielding Strain of Enterobacter cloacae IIT-BT 08 in Fast Growing Escherichia coli. US PI Nejat Veziroglu, University of Miami and Debabrata Das, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IITK) will investigate unique strains of the microbial hydrogenase gene that will lead to new information on hydrogenases and hydrogen-producing microorganisms that could be applied to biohydrogen production. The microorganisms chosen are suitable for utilization in waste treatment plants for more economic production of hydrogen. Scope: Extensive research is being carried out on different aspects of biological hydrogen production at the University of Miami. IITK's Department of Biotechnology is very experienced in conducting research on fermentative hydrogen production using a high yielding strain of Enterobacter cloacae IIT-BT 08, suitable for biological hydrogen production. This is a research area of high current interest that holds considerable promise from both technical and social standpoints, which has the potential for developing a clean, easily distributed, and inexpensive source of chemical energy. The collaboration is mutually beneficial. It is cofunded by NSF's Division of Bioengineering & Environmental Systems and the Indian Department of Science & Technology under the NSF/DST joint program.

该奖项支持美国-印度合作研究项目“通过研究快速生长大肠杆菌中阴沟肠杆菌高产菌株IIT-BT 08的氢化酶编码基因来改善生物制氢”。美国迈阿密大学的PI Nejat Veziroglu和印度理工学院Kharagpur （IITK）的Debabrata Das将研究微生物氢化酶基因的独特菌株，这将导致关于氢化酶和产氢微生物的新信息，这些信息可能应用于生物制氢。所选择的微生物适合在废物处理厂中利用，以更经济地生产氢气。范围：迈阿密大学正在对生物制氢的不同方面进行广泛的研究。IITK的生物技术系在利用一种适用于生物制氢的高产阴沟肠杆菌IIT-BT 08菌株进行发酵制氢研究方面经验丰富。这是一个当前备受关注的研究领域，从技术和社会的角度来看都具有相当大的前景，它有可能开发出一种清洁、易于分布和廉价的化学能来源。合作是互利的。它是由美国国家科学基金会生物工程与环境系统部和印度科学技术部在美国国家科学基金会/DST联合项目下共同资助的。
