© 2020 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLCPhotosynthetic purple non sulfur bacteria can be utilized in outdoor photobioreactors for sustainable large-scale biohydrogen production. However, the diurnal cycle under natural outdoor conditions affects hydrogen productivity and yield. Here, we investigated the effect of light and dark cycles on the hydrogen production metabolism of Rhodobacter capsulatus DSM1710 using custom-designed Affymetrix Gene Chip technology. R. capsulatus was grown by cyclic illumination on hydrogen producing medium. After three cycles of growth, the comparative transcriptome analysis of the light-period samples versus dark-period samples was carried out. The number of genes showing significant expression change was 914 out of 4052 probe sets in total. The differentially expressed genes were classified into metabolic groups. Genes related to nitrogen metabolism, photosynthesis, electron transport, transporters and central metabolism were up-regulated. In contrast, genes related to protein fate and stress metabolism were down-regulated. These gene expression results provide insight on the influence of the relevant metabolic pathways on hydrogen production under cyclic illumination.

Microarray analysis of high light intensity stress on hydrogen production metabolism of Rhodobacter capsulatus Gurgan, Muazzez; Koku, Harun; EROĞLU, İNCİ; Yucel, Meral (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-29) Biohydrogen obtained from purple non sulfur bacteria (PNSB) is an environmentally friendly alternative for hydrogen production. PNSB can be employed in large scale outdoor photobioreactors to produce hydrogen by photofermentation with sunlight as the light source. In external environmental conditions, however, bacteria can experience stress due to high light intensities, which can inhibit or slow down hydrogen production. Previous studies with other PNSB showed varying responses to light intensities (above ...
Enhancement of hydrogen storage capacity of multi-walled carbon nanotubes with palladium doping prepared through supercritical CO2 deposition method ERÜNAL, EBRU; Ulusal, Fatma; ASLAN, MUSTAFA YASİN; GÜZEL, BİLGEHAN; Üner, Deniz (Elsevier BV, 2018-06-07) Pd doped Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes were prepared via supercritical carbon dioxide deposition method in order to enhance the hydrogen uptake capacity of carbon nanotubes at ambient conditions. A new bipyridyl precursor that enables reduction at moderate conditions was used during preparation of the sample. Both XRD analyses and TEM images confirmed that average Pd nanoparticle size distribution was around 10 nm. Hydrogen adsorption and desorption experiments at room temperature with very low pressures (0...
Pilot-scale outdoor photofermentative hydrogen production from molasses using pH control Oflaz, F. Betül; Koku, Harun (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01) © 2020 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLCThe duration of photofermentative hydrogen production from sugar-based nutrients is limited by gradual acidification caused by the production of organic acids, leading to suboptimal pH. To address this issue, a custom pH control system was built and installed on a 20 L tubular photobioreactor, and operated under outdoor conditions. Long-term, single-stage hydrogen production from molasses was achieved using the purple non-sulfur bacterium, Rhodobacter capsulatus. The r...
PEM fuel cell degradation effects on the performance of a stand-alone solar energy system ÖZDEN, Ender; Tarı, İlker (Elsevier BV, 2017-05-04) After comparing fresh and degraded performances of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) based components of a hydrogen cycle with the help of computational fluid dynamics simulations, recently established stand-alone solar energy system producing hydrogen for energy storage is investigated focusing on the effects of degradation of fuel cells on the overall performance of the system. A complete model of the system has been developed using TRNSYS, and a degraded PEM Fuel Cell Subsystem has been incorporated int...
Development of non-noble Co–N–C electrocatalyst for high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells Eren, Enis Oğuzhan; Özkan, Necati; Devrim, Yılser (Elsevier BV, 2020-11-27) © 2020 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLCThe development of a non-noble Co–N/MWCNT (MWCNT = multi-walled carbon nanotubes) electrocatalyst is achieved through the high-temperature pyrolysis method and successfully characterized by five-step physico-chemical analysis. By utilizing high-resolution analytical surface characterization methods, the chemical states of elements are determined, and the presence of Co-Nx sites is confirmed. ORR activity of a Co–N/MWCNT is found to be auspicious. The maximum number of ...
