RESUMO
The ability of Desulfovibrio fructosovorans MR400 ΔhynABC to express the heterologous cloned [NiFe] hydrogenase of Desulfovibrio gigas was investigated. The [NiFe] hydrogenase operon from D. gigas, hynABCD, was cloned, sequenced, and introduced into D. fructosovorans MR400. A portion of the recombinant heterologous [NiFe] hydrogenase was totally matured, exhibiting catalytic and spectroscopic properties identical to those of the native D. gigas protein. A chimeric operon containing hynAB from D. gigas and hynC from D. fructosovorans placed under the control of the D. fructosovorans hynAp promoter was constructed and expressed in D. fructosovorans MR400. Under these conditions, the same level of activity was obtained as with the D. gigas hydrogenase operon.
