title: Spontaneous high-yield production of hydrogen from cellulosic materials and water catalyzed by enzyme cocktails.
abstract: Cocktail reception: Biohydrogen is produced in high yield from cellulosic materials and water in a one-pot process catalyzed by up to 14 enzymes and one coenzyme. This assembly of enzymes results in non-natural catabolic pathways. These spontaneous reactions are conducted under modest reaction conditions (32 degrees C and atmospheric pressure).
