We have discovered a new competitive pathway for O2 sensitivity in algal H2 production that is distinct from the O2 sensitivity of hydrogenase per se. This O2 sensitivity is apparently linked to the photosynthetic H2 production pathway that is coupled to proton translocation across the thylakoid membrane. Addition of the proton uncoupler carbonyl cyanide-p-trifluoromethoxy-phenylhydrazone eliminates this mode of O 2 inhibition on H2 photoevolution. This newly discovered inhibition is most likely owing to background O2 that apparently serves as a terminal electron acceptor in competition with the H2 production pathway for photosynthetically generated electrons from water splitting. This 02-sensitive H2 production electron transport pathway was inhibited by 3[3,4-dichlorophenyl]1,1-dimethylurea. Our experiments demonstrated that this new pathway is more sensitive to O 2 than the traditionally known O2 sensitivity of hydrogenase. This discovery provides new insight into the mechanism of O 2 inactivation of hydrogenase and may contribute to the development of a more-efficient and robust system for photosynthetic H2 production.
