International Conference on Biological Hydrogen Production, Hawaii, United States Of America, 23 - 26 June 1997, pp.143-149
This paper describes hydrogen gas production by Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 using a column photobioreactor in batch and continuous operation. The effect of substrates on the hydrogen production rate was investigated in batch-type photobioreactor experiments. Substrate concentrations (L-malic acid and sodium glutamate) were measured by using high-pressure liquid chromatography. The gas produced was analyzed by gas chromatography.
