“…PNS bacteria have significant potential for industrial application as mixed cultures can be maintained for extended periods (Liessens & Verstraete 1986;Ko & Noike 2002;Fang et al 2005;Ying Li et al 2008), industrial waste streams can make suitable feeds for the photoproduction of H 2 (Thangaraj & Kulandaivelu 1994;Fascetti et al 1998;Yiğit et al 1999;Zhu et al 1999a;Yetis et al 2000), larger scale photobioreactors are under development (Hoekema et al 2002;Hoekema et al 2006l; and outdoor projects using sunlight have been successful (Wakayama et al 2000;Eroğlu et al 2008). …”

Biological methods of hydrogen production are preferable to chemical methods because of the possibility to use sunlight, CO 2 and organic wastes as substrates for environmentally benign conversions, under moderate conditions. By combining different microorganisms with different capabilities, the individual strengths of each may be exploited and their weaknesses overcome. Mechanisms of bio-hydrogen production are described and strategies for their integration are discussed. Dual systems can be divided broadly into wholly light-driven systems (with microalgae/cyanobacteria as the 1 st stage) and partially light-driven systems (with a dark, fermentative initial reaction). Review and evaluation of published data suggests that the latter type of system holds greater promise for industrial application. This is because the calculated land area required for a wholly light-driven dual system would be too large for either centralised (macro-) or decentralised (micro-)energy generation. The potential contribution to the hydrogen economy of partially light-driven dual systems is overviewed alongside that of other bio-fuels such as bio-methane and bio-ethanol.Redwood et al. -Dual systems for Bio-H 2 -Reviews in Environ.

“…Organic nitrogen sources are directly incorporated into proteins or transformed into other cellular nitrogenous constituents [16]. Enhancement using immobilized cells of phototrophic bacteria was also reported by Singh et al (1994) [17], Zhu et al (1999) [10], Yokoi et al (1997) [18], Lozinsky et al (2003) [19], and many other workers. Immobilized, sulfur-deprived algal cultures of Chlamyodomonas reinhardtii could photoproduce hydrogen for longer periods of time [20,21].…”

“…von Felton et al (1985) [9] used agar, agarose, alginate, pectin, and k-carrageenan for hydrogen production by Rhodospirillum rubrum. Cationic polyelectrolyte was used to entrap anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria for enhanced hydrogen production [10]. Hydrogen production by photoreactive nonporous latex coatings of Rhodopseudomonas palsutris CGA 009 was investigated by Gosse et al (2007) [11].…”

Rhodopsedomonas palustris KU003 was immobilized in alginate and its hydrogen producing abilities were assessed. Maximum hydrogen production took place between 120 and 144 hrs in most carbon sources. Alginate immobilization induced higher amount of hydrogen in malate-, lactate-, and succinate-containing medium in Rps. palustris. Incubation period of 120 hrs was optimum for production of hydrogen. pH 7.0 ± 0.4 was optimum for production of hydrogen. L-glutamic acid was a good nitrogen source for production of hydrogen. Glucose and sorbitol were poorer substrates as they induced only limited amount of hydrogen. Anaerobic light induced comparatively more amount of hydrogen in the bacteria under investigation than in anaerobic dark. Thiourea was a poor nitrogen source for the production of hydrogen by Rps. palustris. Results of the above are discussed in the light of existing literature in this communication.

“…Various agricultural/industrial wastes containing organic acids and sugar residues have been identified and used as feedstocks for microbial fermentations designed to yield value added products (Yetis et al, 2000;Yigit et al, 1999, Zhu et al, 1999. Besides the availability of rich diversity of other microbes for such fermentative processes phototrophic, purple non-sulfur bacteria, have to been exploited for example they have been explored to treat odorous swine based water (Kim et al, 2004;Nath & Das, 2004).…”
