Background: Biological hydrogen production by microorganisms can be divided into two main categories i.e. photosynthetic organisms that produce hydrogen using light as energy source and anaerobic bacteria that produce hydrogen via dark fermentation. Dark fermentative hydrogen production by anaerobic bacteria has the advantages of a higher HPR without illumination and of the capability to convert various kinds of substrate. Results: Thermophilic hydrogen producer was isolated from elephant dung and identified as Thermoanaerobacterium thermosaccharolyticum KKU-ED1 by 16S rRNA gene analysis, which was further used to produce hydrogen from mixed pentose sugar i.e., xylose/arabinose. The optimum conditions for hydrogen production from mixed xylose/arabinose by... |

Background In this study, the detection of nifH and nifD by a polymerase chain reaction assay was used to screen the potential photosynthetic bacteria capable of producing hydrogen from five different environmental sources. Efficiency of photo-hydrogen production is highly dependent on the culture conditions. Initial pH, temperature and illumination intensity were optimized for maximal hydrogen production using response surface methodology with central composite design. Results Rhodobacter sp. KKU-PS1 (GenBank Accession No. KC478552) was isolated from the methane fermentation broth of an UASB reactor. Malic acid was the favored carbon source while Na-glutamate was the best nitrogen source. The optimum conditions for simultaneously maximizing the cumulative... |
