TL;DR: It is concluded that TiO2 photocatalysis promoted peroxidation of the polyunsaturated phospholipid component of the lipid membrane initially and induced major disorder in the E. coli cell membrane.

TL;DR: The U.S. Department of Energy and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory are developing technologies to produce hydrogen from renewable, sustainable sources as discussed by the authors, and a cost goal of $2.00-$3.00 kg−1 of hydrogen has been identified as the range at which delivered hydrogen becomes cost competitive with gasoline for passenger vehicles.

TL;DR: Cell wall damage followed by cytoplasmic membrane damage leading to a direct intracellular attack has been proposed as the sequence of events when microorganisms undergo TiO 2 photocatalytic attack.

TL;DR: A review of the work that has been published on disinfection and the killing of cancer cells using photocatalytic chemistry with titanium dioxide (TiO2) can be found in this paper.

TL;DR: The photobiological production of H2 gas, using water as the only electron donor, is a property of two types of photosynthetic microorganisms: green algae and cyanobacteria, which contains only one of two major types of hydrogenases, [FeFe] or [NiFe] enzymes, which are phylogenetically distinct but perform the same catalytic reaction, suggesting convergent evolution.
