TL;DR: Electron microscopy suggested that the location of the resulting Pd(0) deposits was as expected from the subcellular localization of the particular hydrogenase involved in the reduction process, and Membrane separation experiments established that PD(II) reductase activity is membrane-bound and that hydrogenases are required to initiate Pd (II) reduction.

TL;DR: The effect of a deletion in hycA on H2 production was found to be dependent upon environmental conditions, but H2 uptake was not significantly affected by this mutation, and E. coli to perform anaerobic mixed-acid fermentation is therefore an attractive approach for bio-hydrogen production from sugars.

TL;DR: Differences were observed in the catalyticactivity of the preparations when compared with each other, and the ability of the palladium coated (palladised) cells to reductivelydehalogenate chlorophenol and polychlorinated biphenyl species was demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a biologically supported nano-Pd contains particles of size ∼5nm and below, as determined using magnetic measurements (SQUID) and EXAFS spectroscopy.

TL;DR: A novel biochemical method based on the sacrificial hydrogen strategy to synthesize bimetallic gold–palladium nanoparticles (NPs) with a core/shell configuration that showed comparable catalytic activity to chemical counterparts with respect to the oxidation of benzyl alcohol, in air, and at a low temperature (90°C).
