Fermentative hydrogen production from microalgal biomass by a single strain of bacterium Enterobacter aerogenes - Effect of operational conditions and fermentation kinetics

摘要

Biohydrogen production through dark fermentation is a promising technology for generating renewable energy, while using microalgal biomass as a third generation feedstock can further increase the sustainability of the process. In the present study, Scenedesmus obliquus was used as model microalga substrate for studying the impact of operational parameters in batch dark fermentation trials using a strain of Enterobacter aerogenes bacteria.
