title: Biotechnological applications of hydrogenases.
abstract: Hydrogenases have found use in a variety of biotechnological applications, including biohydrogen production, wastewater treatment, the prevention of microbial-induced corrosion and the generation and regeneration of NADP cofactors. In the future, advances in genome mining and screening techniques are likely to identify new hydrogenases for novel applications.
