Hydrogen production with photosynthetic microorganisms contributes to the protection of the environment, not only in producing a clean fuel but also in waste treatment processes. In this study, Rhodobacter sphaeroides, a photosynthetic bacteria, is used in photobiological hydrogen production by using waste water from the milk industry.

Photoproduction of hydrogen from sugar refinery wastewater by Rhodobacter sphaeroides OU 001
Yetis, M; Gündüz, Ufuk; Eroglu, I; Yucel, M; Turker, L (2000-11-01)
Pretreated sugar refinery wastewater (SRWW) was used for the production of hydrogen by Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 in a 0.4 1 column photobioreactor. Hydrogen was produced at a rate of 0.001 1 hydrogen/h/l culture in 20% dilution of SRWW. To adjust the carbon concentration to 70 mM and nitrogen concentration to 2 mM, sucrose or l-malic acid was added as carbon source and sodium glutamate was added as nitrogen source to the 20% dilution of SRWW. By these adjustments, hydrogen production rate was increase...
Photofermentative hydrogen production from molasses in tubular photobioreactor with pH control
Oflaz, Fatma Betül; Koku, Harun; Department of Chemical Engineering (2019)
Biological hydrogen production has the potential to supply hydrogen from various wastes as feedstock and operation under ambient conditions. In order to obtain cost effective production, photobioreactors (PBRs) that can operate for long durations while utilizing waste are necessary. Two primary issues limiting the duration are decrease in pH and the non-optimal C/N ratio. The main aim of this study was to construct and operate a pH control system for a pilot scale photobioreactor (20 L) to achieve prolonged...
Photofermentative hydrogen production using dark fermentation effluent of sugar beet thick juice by Rhodobacter Capsulatus
Özkan, Endam; Gündüz, Ufuk; Uyar, Başar; Department of Biotechnology (2011)
Biological hydrogen production through integration of dark and photo-fermentation by using biomass is a promising alternative for energy supply problems. The main purpose of this study was to investigate photobiological H2 production by the purple non-sulfur (PNS) bacteria Rb. capsulatus on dark fermentation effluent of sugar beet thick juice (DFESBTJ). Presence of NH4+ in effluents is an important parameter since NH4+ inhibit the nitrogenase enzyme activity. Therefore, the influence of different NH4+ conce...
Long-term stable hydrogen production from acetate using immobilized Rhodobacter capsulatus in a panel photobioreactor

Biological hydrogen production is attractive since renewable resources are utilized for hydrogen production. In this study, a novel panel photobioreactor (1.4 L) was constructed from Plexiglas with a network of nylon fabric support for agar immobilized bacteria complex. Two strains of Rhodobacter capsulatus DSM 1710 wild-type strain and Rhodobacter capsulatus YO3 (hup(-), uptake hydrogenase deleted mutant) with cell concentrations of 2.5 and 5.0 mg dcw/mL agar, respectively were entrapped by 4% (w/v) of aga...
Investigation Of Influencing Factors For Biological Hydrogen Production By R. Capsulatus In Tubular Photo-Bioreactors
Boran, E.; Ozgur, E.; Gebicki, J.; van der Burg, J.; YÜCEL, MUSTAFA; Gündüz, Ufuk; Modigel, M.; Eroglu, I. (2009-05-13)
Biological hydrogen production processes are considered as an environmentally friendly way to produce hydrogen. They offer the chance to produce hydrogen from renewable energy sources, like sunlight and biomass. This study aims the process development for a photo-fermentative hydrogen production by photosynthetic purple-non-sulfur bacteria, Rhodobacter capsulatus, in a large scale (80L) tubular photo-bioreactor, in outdoor conditions, using acetate as carbon source. It was shown that Rhodobacter capsulatus ...
