To assess the applicability of latex cell coatings as an 'off-the-shelf' biocatalyst, the effect of osmoprotectants, temperature, humidity and O₂ on preservation of H₂ production in Rhodopseudomonas palustris coatings was evaluated. Immediately following latex coating coalescence (24 h) and for up to 2 weeks of dry storage, rehydrated coatings containing different osmoprotectants displayed similar rates of H₂ production. Beyond 2 weeks of storage, sorbitol-treated coatings lost all H₂ production ...[more]
