产品描述：该奖项支持了一项美国-印度合作研究项目，该项目名为通过对快速生长的大肠杆菌中高产菌株肠杆菌IIT-BT 08的氢化酶编码基因的研究来改善生物制氢。 美国PI Nejat Veziroglu，迈阿密大学和Debabrata Das，印度理工学院Kharagpur（IITK）将研究微生物氢化酶基因的独特菌株，这将导致有关氢化酶和产氢微生物的新信息，可应用于生物制氢。 所选择的微生物适用于废物处理厂，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的生物技术部门在使用适合生物制氢的高产肠杆菌IIT-BT 08菌株进行发酵制氢研究方面非常有经验。 这是一个当前非常感兴趣的研究领域，从技术和社会的角度来看，它具有开发清洁，易于分配和廉价的化学能源的潜力。 合作是互利的。 它由NSF生物工程环境系统部门和印度科学技术部在NSF/DST联合计划下共同资助。

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.
