Enhancement of photohydrogen production using phbC deficient mutant Rhodopseudomonas palustris strain M23

Enhanced hydrogen production performance of Rubrivivax gelatinosus M002 using mixed carbon sources

“…Much effort has been paid in increasing the efficiency of hydrogen production [9]. In 1984, Miyake employed a co-culture of Clostridium butyricum and Rhodobacter sphaeroides RV for hydrogen production, and a yield of 7 mol H 2 /mol-glucose was obtained [10].…”

Relationship between cell growth, hydrogen production and poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) accumulation by Rhodopseudomonas palustris WP3-5

“…palustris M23 couldn't enhance hydrogen production because wild-type under our experimental conditions produces low PHB content. PHB synthase-deficient mutant M23 was mutated by Yang and Lee [16]. Contrary to this study, Rps.…”

“…Its PHB synthasedeficient mutant Rps. palustris M23 was constructed as described previously [16]. Rps.…”

Enhancing biological hydrogen production through complementary microbial metabolisms

“…R. palustris proved equally effective on glycerol and its waste, which resulted in producing around 6 mol H 2 /mol substrate [109]. The need to select a combination of bacteria and waste for optimal H 2 yields is emphasized by the wide variations in H 2 producing abilities of the photosynthetic organisms, especially R. palustris which produces 0.38e93 mmol/L/h from waste water [121,150,151] and 0.44 mmol/L/h from palm oil mill effluents [152]. Another interesting feature of R. palustris is its ability to co-produce biofuels such as biomass, rich in oil content (41.4%) and H 2 to the tune of 3.16 L from malate [153].…”
