An isolated polypeptide comprising a hydrogen generating enzyme attached to a heterologous ferredoxin is disclosed, as well as polynucleotides encoding same, nucleic acid constructs capable of expressing same and cells expressing same. A method for generating hydrogen using the isolated polypeptide is also disclosed.

Photocatalytic hydrogen production and polypeptides capable of same

A cyanobacterial cell comprising a PSI complex which accepts electrons from at least one respiratory cytochrome is disclosed. Methods of generating same and use of same for the production of hydrogen gas are also disclosed.

Photocatalytic hydrogen production in cyanobacteria

A soluble fusion protein is disclosed. The soluble fusion protein comprises at least one soluble polypeptide and a heterologous polypeptide being fused thereto, the heterologous polypeptide being normally insoluble and/or suboptimally expressed when expressed in a cell, wherein the at least one soluble polypeptide has an amino acid sequence at least 65 percent similar to SEQ ID NO: 1 and/or 2, as determined using the Standard protein-protein BLAST [blastp] software of the NCBI.
