Frankia strain R43 is a nitrogen-fixing and hydrogen-producing symbiotic actinobacterium that was isolated from nodules of Casuarina cunninghamiana but infects only Elaeagnaceae. This communication reports the genome of the strain R43 and provides insights into the microbe genomics and physiological potentials.

The photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus normally photoproduces H as a by-product of its nitrogenase-catalyzed nitrogen-fixing activity. Such H production, however, is expensive from a metabolic perspective, requiring nearly four times as many photons as the equivalent algal hydrogenase-based system (Ghirardi et al., 2009 Photobiological hydrogen-producing systems.

Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic prokaryotes that are promising 'low-cost' microbial cell factories due to their simple nutritional requirements and metabolic plasticity, and the availability of tools for their genetic manipulation. The unicellular non-nitrogen-fixing Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is the best studied cyanobacterial strain and its genome was the first to be sequenced.

Photobiological hydrogen production has advanced significantly in recent years, and on the way to becoming a mature technology. A variety of photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic microorganisms, including unicellular green algae, cyanobacteria, anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria, obligate anaerobic, and nitrogen-fixing bacteria are endowed with genes and proteins for H2-production. Enzymes, mechanisms, and the underlying biochemistry may vary among these systems; however, they are all promising catalysts in hydrogen production.
