Hydrogen photoproduction by micro-organisms combines the photosynthetic properties of oxygenic and non-oxygenic microbes with the activity of H2-producing enzymes in nature: hydrogenases and nitrogenases. The overall efficiency of the process depends on the separate efficiencies of photosynthesis and enzymatic catalysis. This tutorial review discusses the biochemical pathways for H2 production in different organisms, barriers to be overcome, and possible suggestions for integrating photobiological H2 production with fermentative, anaerobic systems for a potentially more efficient process.
微生物光解水制氢将产氧微生物和不产氧微生物的光合特性与自然界中产氢酶（氢化酶和固氮酶）的活性结合在一起。该过程的整体效率取决于光合作用和酶催化的各自效率。本综述讨论了不同生物体中产氢的生化途径、需要克服的障碍，以及将光生物制氢与发酵、厌氧系统整合以实现潜在更高效过程的可能建议。
