It can consume hydrogen from split water and CO2 and convert them into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) or produce isopropanol, isobutanol, or isopentanol, alcohols that can be burnt directly.
Ralstonia eutropha H16 is a facultatively autotrophic hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium capable of producing polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)-based bioplastics and can be rationally engineered further to enhance fatty acid production, to increase yield for a range of fuels, chemicals, and PHB derivatives.
Ralstonia eutropha H16 was formerly known as Alcaligenes eutrophus.
