Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 is one of the candidates for photobiological hydrogen production among purple non-sulfur bacteria. Hydrogen is produced by Mo-nitrogenase from organic acids such as malate or lactate. A hupSL in frame deletion mutant strain was constructed without using any antibiotic resistance gene. The hydrogen production potential of the R. sphaeroides O.U.001 and its newly constructed hupSL deleted mutant strain in acetate media was evaluated and compared with malate containing media. The hupSL(-) R. sphaeroides produced 2.42 l H-2/l culture and 0.25 l H-2/l culture in 15 mM malate and 30 mM acetate containing media, respectively, as compared to the wild type cells which evolved 1.97 l H-2/l culture and 0.21 l H-2/l culture in malate and acetate containing media, correspondingly. According to the results, hupSL- R. sphaeroides is a better hydrogen producer but acetate alone does not seem to be an efficient carbon source for photo-heterotrophic H-2 production by R. sphaeroides.

Investigation of the effects of initial substrate and biomass concentrations and light intensity on photofermentative hydrogen gas production by Response Surface Methodology Akman, Melih Can; Bayramoğlu, Tuba Hande; Gündüz, Ufuk; EROĞLU, İNCİ (2015-04-27) Biohydrogen, which can be produced by dark fermentation and photofermentation processes, is a renewable and clean approach for hydrogen production. In this study, it was aimed to determine the operational conditions which satisfy the highest photofermentative hydrogen production rate in batch reactors. To that purpose, the effects of initial substrate concentration, initial volatile suspended solids (VSS) concentration and light intensity on photofermentation process, and their interactive effects were inve...
Improvement of biohydrogen production by genetic manipulations in rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 Kars, Gökhan; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biotechnology (2008) Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 is a purple non-sulphur bacterium producing hydrogen under photoheterotrophic, nitrogen limited conditions. Hydrogen is produced by Mo-nitrogenase but substantial amount of H2 is reoxidized by a membrane bound uptake hydrogenase. In this study, hydrogen production and the expression of structural nitrogenase genes were investigated by varying molybdenum and iron ion concentrations. These two elements are found in the structure of Mo-nitrogenase and they are important for func...
Effect of light intensity, wavelength and illumination protocol on hydrogen production in photobioreactors Uyar, Basar; EROĞLU, İNCİ; Yucel, Meral; Gündüz, Ufuk; Turker, Lemi (2007-12-01) Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U. 001 is a purple non-sulfur bacterium which evolves hydrogen from the breakdown of organic acids under illumination and anaerobic conditions. In this study, the effect of light intensity, light wavelength and illumination protocol on the growth and hydrogen production of R. sphaeroides O.U. 001 was investigated in gas-tight glass photobioreactors with defined medium. The results showed Also it was found that the rate of hydrogen production increased with increasing light intensit...
Hydrogen gas production by combined systems of Rhodobacter sphaeroides OU001 and Halobacterium salinarum in a photobioreactor Zabut, Baker; EI-Kahlout, Kamal; Yucel, Meral; Gündüz, Ufuk; Turker, Lemi; Eroglu, Inci (2006-09-01) Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 is a photosynthetic non-sulfur bacterium which produces hydrogen from organic compounds under anaerobic conditions. Halobacterium salinarum is an archaeon and lives under extremely halophilic conditions (4 M NaCl). H. salinarum contains a retinal protein bacteriorhodopsin in its purple membrane which acts as a light-driven proton pump. In this study the Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 culture was combined with different amounts of packed cells of H. salinarum S9 or isolated p...
Cloning and heterologous expression of chlorophyll a synthase in Rhodobacter sphaeroides Ipekoglu, Emre M.; Gocmen, Koray; Oz, Mehmet T.; Gurgan, Muazzez; Yucel, Meral (2017-03-01) Rhodobacter sphaeroides is a purple non-sulfur bacterium which photoheterotrophically produces hydrogen from organic acids under anaerobic conditions. A gene coding for putative chlorophyll a synthase (chlG) from cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus marinus was amplified by nested polymerase chain reaction and cloned into an inducible-expression plasmid which was subsequently transferred to R. sphaeroides for heterologous expression. Induced expression of chlG in R. sphaeroides led to changes in light absorption ...
