Abstract: | Batch experiments were conducted to investigate the thermophilic biohydrogen production using an enrichment culture from a Turkish hot spring. Following the enrichment, the culture was heat treated at 100 °C for 10 min to select for spore-forming bacteria. H2 production was accompanied by production of acetate, butyrate, lactate and ethanol. H2 production was associated by acetate–butyrate type fermentation while accumulation of lactate and ethanol negatively affected the H2 yield. H2 production was highest in the temperature range from 49.6 to 54.8 °C and optimum values for initial pH and concentrations of iron, yeast extract and glucose were 6.5, 40 mg/l, 4–13.5 g/l, respectively. PCR–DGGE profiling showed that the heat treated culture consisted of species closely affiliated to genus Thermoanaerobacterium. |
