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 °C and atmospheric pressure).
