Abstract
It is intended to provide a microorganism having a formate dehydrogenase gene and a hydrogenase gene and further containing a foreign gene of a transcriptional activator in the formate hydrogenlyase system, characterized in that the transcriptional activator in the formate hydrogenlyase system is overexpressed and thus the function of producing hydrogen from formic acid is enhanced; and a method of producing hydrogen by using this microorganism. Use of the above-described microorganism makes it possible to produce hydrogen from an organic substrate at a practically available level. The hydrogen obtained by this technique is free from carbon monoxide causing deterioration in electrode catalysts in fuel batteries and, therefore, is useful as a fuel for fuel batteries.

Abstract
A method of separating a protein by the gel electrophoresis, which comprises the staining step of contacting a liquid staining agent containing a staining agent and a surfactant in a buffer solution with a sample containing the protein, and the electrophoresis step of electrophoresing in a gel the protein-containing sample having been stained in the above step. According to this method, a protein-containing sample can be stained within a short period of time by using a liquid staining agent containing a surfactant such as SDS and the color development can be achieved at a high sensitivity. Moreover, the excessive staining agent migrates before the protein in the electrophoresis, which makes it unnecessary to employ any washing operation. It is also possible that a sample is stained with a staining agent containing a surfactant such as SDS after the one-dimensional electrophoresis and then immediately subjected to the two-dimensional electrophoresis. Thus, the number of steps can be reduced compared with the existing protein separation methods and the separation procedure can be simplified. Namely, a method of conveniently and quickly separating a protein by the electrophoresis can be provided.
