Approaches towards Improvement of Hydrogen Yield in Fermentative Biohydrogen Production Processes
Abstract :
Major constraints to the commercialization of biohydrogen production processes include lower hydrogen yields and rates of hydrogen production. To overcome these drawbacks, advances in different areas of biohydrogen production processes have been carried out, which are development of microbial consortium, genetic modification of the microorganisms, metabolic pathway engineering (elimination of competing reactions), the improvement of the bioreactor design (optimization of bioprocess parameters such as type of organism, pH, substrate loading, type of reactor, type of substrate), H2 partial pressure, etc. This review describes advances in these approach towards improvement of hydrogen yield by fermentation.
