Thanks for the great collaboration! I hope there is more to come!
Our article showing energy production from air alone is in PNAS today. This paper provides an ultimate biochemical proof that microbes can survive simply by 'making' energy from air (making two ATP per molecule atmospheric H2 consumed) and has biotech applications. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Thanks for the great collaboration, @greening.bsky.social and @rhyswg.bsky.social. What a marvelous enzyme Huc is, it just waited to be paired with oxidase and ATP synthase.
Energy from air? No problem! In our new preprint, we reconstitute the machinery that allows microbes to endure starvation. By using the trace amounts of hydrogen in air alone, they produce plenty of chemical energy (2 ATP) to get by. The only byproduct? Water. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
