Hydrogen production by mixed bacteria through dark and photo fermentation
International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2011Abstract Mixed bacteria were used to improve hydrogen yield from cassava starch in combination of dark and photo fermentation. In dark fermentation, mixed anaerobic bacteria (mainly Clostridium species) were used to produce hydrogen from cassava starch. Substrate concentration, fermentation temperature and pH were optimized as 10.4 g/l, 31 °C and 6.3

Biohydrogen production by dark and photo-fermentation processes
2013 International Renewable and Sustainable Energy Conference (IRSEC), 2013The hydrogen can be produced in a biological production process by dark and photo-fermentation of organic substrates. Under anaerobic conditions, hydrogen is produced during conversion of organic substrate into organic acids using fermentative bacteria and during conversion of organic acids into H2 and CO2 using photo- fermentative bacteria.
