phototropic h2 production by a newly isolated strain of rhodopseudomonas palustris. | rhodopseudomonas palustris tn1 was isolated from songkhla lake, thailand. it phototrophically generates h(2) from the predominant volatile fatty acids (vfas) produced from microbial dark-fermentations of palm oil milling effluent; yields from 20 mm butyrate, acetate and propionate were 4.7, 2.5, and 1.7 mol h(2) mol vfa(-1) with light efficiencies of 1.8, 1, and 0.2%, respectively. optimum conditions were ph 7 and 3000 lux, although production was reduced by only 33% at 1000 lux. co(2) evolution ... | 2010 | 20623317 |
