Molecular hydrogen is an unavoidable byproduct of the reduction of dinitrogen; at least one molecule of H2 is produced for each molecule of N2 fixed. This could be considered a fault in nitrogenase efficiency, essentially a waste of energy and reducing equivalents. Wild-type Azotobacter captures this hydrogen and oxidizes it with its membrane-bound uptake hydrogenase complex. Strains lacking an active hydrogenase complex have been investigated for their hydrogen production capacities. What is the role of H2 in the energy metabolism of nitrogen-fixing Azotobacter? Is hydrogen production involved in Azotobacter species' protection from or tolerance to oxygen, or vice versa? What yields of hydrogen can be expected from hydrogen-evolving strains? Can the yield of hydrogen be controlled or increased by changing genetic, environmental, or physiological conditions? We will address these questions in the following mini-review.}, number={2}, journal={WORLD JOURNAL OF MICROBIOLOGY & BIOTECHNOLOGY}, author={Noar, Jesse D. and Bruno-Barcena, Jose M.}, year={2016}, month={Feb} } @article{noar_loveless_luis navarro-herrero_olson_bruno-barcena_2015, title={Aerobic Hydrogen Production via Nitrogenase in Azotobacter vinelandii CA6}, volume={81}, ISSN={["1098-5336"]}, url={http://europepmc.org/abstract/med/25911479}, DOI={10.1128/aem.00679-15}, abstractNote={ABSTRACT}, number={13}, journal={APPLIED AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY}, author={Noar, Jesse and Loveless, Telisa and Luis Navarro-Herrero, Jose and Olson, Jonathan W. and Bruno-Barcena, Jose M.}, year={2015}, month={Jul}, pages={4507–4516} } @article{nawalakhe_shi_vitchuli_noar_caldwell_breidt_bourham_zhang_mccord_2013, title={Novel atmospheric plasma enhanced chitosan nanofiber/gauze composite wound dressings}, volume={129}, ISSN={0021-8995}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/app.38804}, DOI={10.1002/app.38804}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Applied Polymer Science}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Nawalakhe, Rupesh and Shi, Quan and Vitchuli, Narendiran and Noar, Jesse and Caldwell, Jane M. and Breidt, Frederick and Bourham, Mohamed A. and Zhang, Xiangwu and McCord, Marian G.}, year={2013}, month={Feb}, pages={916–923} }
