초록
Encapsulation of individual Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells with TiO<SUB>2</SUB> shells was found to affect their hydrogen production under sulfur-deprived conditions. We showed that a dark incubation of the cells before exposure to light is essential in order to overcome the toxic effects of the (RKK)<SUB>4</SUB>D<SUB>8</SUB> catalytic peptide. The TiO<SUB>2</SUB>-encapsulated cells were able to produce H<SUB>2</SUB> with about double efficiency during 5-day period compared to non-encapsulated cells. The light-to-H<SUB>2</SUB> conversion efficiency of TiO<SUB>2</SUB>-encapsulated L159I-N230Y C. reinhardtii system was estimated to be more than 4% under optimized conditions.
