This study reviews biohydrogen systems, molecular and genetic aspects of hydrogen production and technologies of biohydrogen production. An enormous investment is needed to understand hydrogen-producing mechanisms better in cells of microorganisms at molecular level oil evolution of artificial organisms, which could produce abundant, at least satisfactory, quantities of hydrogen with a suitable rate of production.

Towards a super H-2 producer: Improvements in photofermentative biohydrogen production by genetic manipulations KARS, GÖKHAN; Gündüz, Ufuk (2010-07-01) Photofermentative hydrogen production by purple non-sulfur bacteria is a potential candidate among biological hydrogen production methods. Hydrogen is produced under anaerobic conditions in light using different organic substrates as carbon source. The hydrogen evolution occurs mainly through the catalytic activity of the nitrogenases under non-repressive concentrations of ammonia. However, total hydrogen production is constrained due to several reasons in purple non-sulfur (PNS) bacteria, such as consumpti...
INVESTIGATION OF PHOTOFERMENTATIVE POLY-HYDROXYBUTYRATE (PHB) AND HYDROGEN PRODUCTION VIA RHODOBACTER CAPSULATUS Hoşafcı, Ertan; Bayramoğlu, Tuba Hande; Koku, Harun; Department of Environmental Engineering (2023-1-26) The aim of this thesis study is to investigate factors affecting hydrogen (H2) and poly-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) production via photofermentation using two strains of Rhodobacter capsulatus species. To this purpose, three experimental designs were set up, namely Set 1, Set 2 and Set 3. In Set 1, various approaches in pretreatment of bacterial biomass were investigated. For R. capsulatus Wild Type (WT) strain, employment of different pretreatment methods did not make a significant difference, where an average ...
Aspects of the metabolism of hydrogen production by Rhodobacter sphaeroides Koku, Harun (Elsevier BV, 2002-11) Photosynthetic bacteria are favorable candidates for biological hydrogen production due to their high conversion efficiency and versatility in the substrates they can utilize. For large-scale hydrogen production, an integrated view of the overall metabolism is necessary in order to interpret results properly and facilitate experimental design. In this study, a summary of the hydrogen production metabolism of the photosynthetic purple non-sulfur (PNS) bacteria will be presented. Practically all hydrogen prod...
DEVELOPMENT OF LSF-BASED DUAL-PHASE CATHODES FOR INTERMEDIATE TEMPERATURE SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELLS Babazadeh Dizaj, Ramin; Kalay, Yunus Eren; Öztürk, Tayfur; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2022-12-09) In this thesis, a study was carried out on LSM-LSF composite cathodes for IT-solid oxide fuel cells. The study follows the previous work carried out on LSC113-LSC214 dual-phase and LSM/LSF/ScSZ composite cathodes, both developed for IT-SOFCs. The study involved the synthesis of active material, namely (La0.5Sr0.5)MnO3-δ (LSM), (La0.8Sr0.2)FeO3-δ (LSF), and Sc0.15Zr0.85O2-δ (ScSZ) via Pechini method. Symmetric cells were fabricated, and cathodes were characterized electrochemically via EIS measurements. For ...
Hydrogen production by microorganisms in solar bioreactor Uyar, Başar; Eroğlu, İnci; Department of Biotechnology (2008) The main objective of this study is exploring the parameters affecting photobiological hydrogen production and developing anaerobic photobioreactor for efficient photofermentative hydrogen production from organic acids in outdoor conditions. Rhodobacter capsulatus and Rhodobacter sphaeroides strains were used as microorganisms. EU project “Hyvolution” targets to combine thermophilic fermentation with photofermentation for the conversion of biomass to hydrogen. In this study, the effluent obtained by dark fe...
