There has been a great interest in fermentative hydrogen production during recent decades. However, the low H2 yield associated with fermentative hydrogen production process continues to hinder its industrial application. It is delectable that a maximum 3.9 mol H2 per mol glucose was obtained in fed-batch fermentation mode with a butyric acid over-producing Clostridium tyrobutyricum mutant, which to our knowledge is the highest H2 yield ever got in the fermentation process with Clostridium sp. This study aimed to better understand the change of flux profile within the whole metabolic network and to conduct the metabolic flux analysis of fermentative hydrogen production. For the first time, we constructed a metabolic flux model for the anaerobic glucose metabolism of C. tyrobutyricum ATCC 25755, and revealed the internal mechanism responsible for the redistribution of the carbon flux in the mutant strain in comparison with the wide-type. The MFA methodology was used to study the fractional flux response to variations in operational pH, and revealed that pH was a significant operational parameter effecting on the fermentative hydrogen production process. Furthermore, the presence of NADH-ferredoxin oxidoreductase activity in this anaerobe was demonstrated. By measuring the activities of related enzymes in the biosynthesis pathway of hydrogen, we thus concluded that the increased specific activities of both NFOR and hydrogen-catalyzing enzyme (hydrogenase) would be attributed to the hydrogen over-producing. 相似文献

The effect of coculture of Clostridium butyricum and Escherichia coli on hydrogen production was investigated. C. butyricum and E. coli were grown separately and together as batch cultures. Gas production, growth, volatile fatty acid production and glucose degradation were monitored. Whilst C. butyricum alone produced 2.09 mol-H2/mol-glucose the coculture produced 1.65 mol-H2/mol-glucose. However, the coculture utilized glucose more efficiently in the batch culture, i.e., it was able to produce more H2 (5.85 mmol H2) in the same cultivation setting than C. butyricum (4.62 mmol H2), before the growth limiting pH was reached. 相似文献

A hydrogen producing strain newly isolated from anaerobic sludge in an anaerobic bioreactor, was identified as Clostridium beijerinckii Fanp3 by 16S rDNA gene sequence analysis and detection by BioMerieux Vitek. The strain could utilize various carbon and nitrogen sources to produce hydrogen, which indicates that it has the potential of converting renewable wastes into hydrogen. In batch cultivations, the optimal initial pH of the culture medium was between 6.47 and 6.98. Using 0.15 M phosphate as buffer could alleviate the medium acidification and improve the overall performance of C. beijerinckii Fanp3 in hydrogen production. Culture temperature of 35 °C was established to be the most favorable for maximum rate of hydrogen production. The distribution of soluble metabolic products (SMP) was also greatly affected by temperature. Considering glucose as a substrate, the activation energy (Ea) for hydrogen production was calculated as 81.01 kcal/mol and 21.4% of substrate energy was recovered in the form of hydrogen. The maximal hydrogen yield and the hydrogen production rate were obtained as 2.52 mol/mol-glucose and 39.0 ml/g-glucose h−1, respectively. These results indicate that C. beijerinckii Fanp3 is an ideal candidate for the fermentative hydrogen production. 相似文献

In this work, a carbohydrate-rich microalga, Chlorella vulgaris ESP6, was grown photoautotrophically to fix the CO2. The resulting microalgal biomass was hydrolyzed by acid or alkaline/enzymatic treatment and was then used for biohydrogen production with Clostridium butyricum CGS5. The C. vulgaris biomass could be effectively hydrolyzed by acid pretreatment while similar hydrolysis efficiency was achieved by combination of alkaline pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis. The biomass of C. vulgaris ESP6 containing a carbohydrate content of 57% (dry weight basis) was efficiently hydrolyzed by acid treatment with 1.5% HCl, giving a reducing sugars (RS) yield of nearly 100%. C. butyricum CGS5 could utilize RS from C. vulgaris ESP6 biomass to produce hydrogen without any additional organic carbon sources. The optimal conditions for hydrogen production were 37 °C and a microalgal hydrolysate loading of 9 g RS/L with pH-controlled at 5.5. Under the optimal conditions, the cumulative H2 production, H2 production rate, and H2 yield were 1476 ml/L, 246 ml/L/h, and 1.15 mol/mol RS, respectively. The results demonstrate that the C. vulgaris biomass has the potential to serve as effective feedstock for dark fermentative H2 production. 相似文献

Non-sterile operation of continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) augmented with Clostridium butyricum and fed with sugarcane juice was studied at various hydraulic retention time (HRT). The maximum hydrogen production rate and yield of 3.38 mmol H2/L/h and 1.0 mol H2/mol hexose consumed, respectively, were achieved at HRT 4 h. The relationship of the augmented microorganism and normal flora in the fermentation system under non-sterile condition were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE). Initially, at HRT 36 h, other species related to Lactobacillus harbinensis and Klebseilla pneumoniae were present as a major group in the reactor. When HRT was decreased to 12, 6 and 4 h, C. butyricum was present with a competition between L. harbinensis and K. pneumoniae. Results indicated that augmented C. butyricum could compete with contaminated microorganisms during non-sterile operation at low HRT (12-4 h) with the support of normal flora (K. pneumoniae). 相似文献

Biohydrogen production is measured using a variety of techniques, ranging from low cost intermittent gas release methods where yields are usually reduced due to high partial pressures of hydrogen, to expensive respirometers that can eliminate pressure buildup. A new large headspace volume technique was developed that reduces the potential for hydrogen gas inhibition without the need for a respirometer. We tested this method with two strains of clostridia, Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 and its mutant M5 that lacks a megaplasmid responsible for butanol and acetone production, and a mixed culture (heat-treated sludge). The hydrogen yield using M5 (2.64 mol-H2/mol-glucose) was 47% higher than that of the parent strain (1.79 mol-H2/mol-glucose), and 118% larger than that obtained in tests with the sludge inoculum (1.21 mol-H2/mol-glucose). The increased yield for M5 was primarily due to a decrease in biomass synthesis (38%) compared to the parent strain. Hydrogen yields measured using this new method were on average 14% higher than those obtained using a conventional respirometric method. These findings indicate enhanced biohydrogen production from the megaplasmid-deficient mutant of C. acetobutylicum ATCC 824, and that an intermittent gas-sampling technique can effectively measure high hydrogen gas by using a large headspace volume. 相似文献

This study investigates the mesophilic biohydrogen production from glucose using a strictly anaerobic strain, Clostridium butyricum CWBI1009, immobilized in a trickling bed sequenced batch reactor (TBSBR) packed with a Lantec HD Q-PAC® packing material (132 ft2/ft3 specific surface). The reactor was operated for 62 days. The main parameters measured here were hydrogen composition, hydrogen production rate and soluble metabolic products. pH, temperature, recirculation flow rate and inlet glucose concentration at 10 g/L were the controlled parameters. The maximum specific hydrogen production rate and the hydrogen yield found from this study were 146 mmol H2/L.d and 1.67 mol H2/mol glucose. The maximum hydrogen composition was 83%. Following a thermal treatment, the culture was active without adding fresh inoculum in the subsequent feeding and both the hydrogen yield and the hydrogen production rate were improved. For all sequences, the soluble metabolites were dominated by the presence of butyric and acetic acids compared to other volatile fatty acids. The results from the standard biohydrogen production (BHP) test which was conducted using samples from TBSBR as inoculum confirmed that the culture generated more biogas and hydrogen compared to the pure strain of C. butyricum CWBI1009. The effect of biofilm activity was studied by completely removing (100%) the mixed liquid and by adding fresh medium with glucose. For three subsequent sequences, similar results were recorded as in the previous sequences with 40% removal of spent medium. The TBSBR biofilm density varied from top to bottom in the packing bed and the highest biofilm density was found at the bottom plates. Moreover, no clogging was evidenced in this packing material, which is characterized by a relatively high specific surface area. Following a PCA test, contaminants of the Bacillus genus were isolated and a standard BHP test was conducted, resulting in no hydrogen production. 相似文献

Ethanoligenens harbinense is a promising hydrogen producing microorganism due to its high inherent hydrogen production rate. Even though the effect of media optimization and inhibitory metabolites has been studied in order to improve the hydrogen productivity of these cultures, the identification of the underlying causes of the observed changes in productivity has not been targeted to date. In this work we present a genome based metabolic flux analysis (MFA) framework, for the comprehensive study of E. harbinense in culture, and the effect of inhibitory metabolites and media composition on its metabolic state. A metabolic model was constructed for E. harbinense based on its annotated genome sequence and proteomic evidence. This model was employed to perform MFA and obtain the intracellular flux distribution under different culture conditions. These results allow us to identify key elements in the metabolism that can be associated to the observed production phenotypes, and that can be potential targets for metabolic engineering in order to enhanced hydrogen production in E. harbinense. 相似文献

This paper reports investigations carried out to determine the optimum culture conditions for the production of hydrogen with a recently isolated strain Clostridium butyricum CWBI1009. The production rates and yields were investigated at 30 °C in a 2.3 L bioreactor operated in batch and sequenced-batch mode using glucose and starch as substrates. In order to study the precise effect of a stable pH on hydrogen production, and the metabolite pathway involved, cultures were conducted with pH controlled at different levels ranging from 4.7 to 7.3 (maximum range of 0.15 pH unit around the pH level). For glucose the maximum yield (1.7 mol H2 mol−1 glucose) was measured when the pH was maintained at 5.2. The acetate and butyrate yields were 0.35 mol acetate mol−1 glucose and 0.6 mol butyrate mol−1 glucose. For starch a maximum yield of 2.0 mol H2 mol−1 hexose, and a maximum production rate of 15 mol H2 mol−1 hexose h−1 were obtained at pH 5.6 when the acetate and butyrate yields were 0.47 mol acetate mol−1 hexose and 0.67 mol butyrate mol−1 hexose. 相似文献

Immobilized Clostridium butyricum TISTR 1032 on sugarcane bagasse improved hydrogen production rate (HPR) approximately 1.2 times in comparison to free cells. The optimum conditions for hydrogen production by immobilized C. butyricum were initial pH 6.5 and initial sucrose concentration of 25 g COD/L. The maximum HPR and hydrogen yield (HY) of 3.11 L H2/L substrate·d and 1.34 mol H2/mol hexose consumed, respectively, were obtained. Results from repeated batch fermentation indicated that the highest HPR of 3.5 L H2/L substrate·d and the highest HY of 1.52 mol H2/mol hexose consumed were obtained at the medium replacement ratio of 75% and 50% respectively. The major soluble metabolites in both batch and repeated batch fermentation were butyric and acetic acids. 相似文献

A hydrogen producer was successfully isolated from anaerobic digested palm oil mill effluent (POME) sludge. The strain, designated as Clostridium butyricum EB6, efficiently produced hydrogen concurrently with cell growth. A controlled study was done on a synthetic medium at an initial pH value of 6.0 with 10 g/L glucose with the maximum hydrogen production at 948 mL H2/L-medium and the volumetric hydrogen production rate at 172 mL H2/L-medium/h. The supplementation of yeast extract was shown to have a significant effect with a maximum hydrogen production of 992 mL H2/L-medium at 4 g/L of yeast extract added. The effect of pH on hydrogen production from POME was investigated. Experimental results showed that the optimum hydrogen production ability occurred at pH 5.5. The maximum hydrogen production and maximum volumetric hydrogen production rate were at 3195 mL H2/L-medium and 1034 mL H2/L-medium/h, respectively. The hydrogen content in the biogas produced was in the range of 60–70%. 相似文献

An NADH dehydrogenase encoded by the nuo cluster was isolated and impaired by knocking out the nuoB gene in Enterobacter aerogenes to examine its effect on hydrogen production. Three nuoB-deleted mutant strains were constructed from the wild-type strain E. aerogenes IAM1183 and two recombinant strains, IAM1183-A (ΔhycA) and IAM1183-O (ΔhybO), from which the hycA and hybO genes had already been deleted previously, respectively. Compared with the performance of the wild-type strain, the overall hydrogen production of the mutants IAM1183-B (ΔnuoB), IAM1183-AB (ΔhycA/ΔnuoB) and IAM1183-BO (ΔhybO/ΔnuoB) was increased by 49.2%, 54.0%, and 52.4% in batch culture, respectively. The hydrogen yields from glucose by the three mutants IAM1183-B, IAM1183-AB, IAM1183-BO were 1.38, 1.49, and 1.39 mol H2/mol glucose, respectively, while it was 1.16 mol H2/mol glucose in the wild-type strain. Metabolic flux analysis indicated that all three mutants exhibited reduced fluxes to lactate production, and enhanced fluxes toward the generation of hydrogen, acetate, ethanol, succinate and 2,3-butanediol. Both the formate pathway and the NADH pathway contributed to increased hydrogen production in the mutant strains. The assay of 4 NADH-mediated enzyme activities (H2ase, LDH, ADH and BDDH) was in accordance with the redistributions of the metabolic fluxes in the mutant strains. 相似文献

The [FeFe]-hydrogenase (hydA) from Clostridium butyricum TERI BH05-2 strain was isolated to elucidate its molecular characterization. A 1953 bp DNA fragment encompassing the ORF and the putative promoter region of hydA gene was PCR amplified and subcloned into pGEM®-T-Easy cloning vector (pGEM®-T-hydA). The hydA DNA sequence revealed the presence of a 1725 bp length ORF (including the stop codon) encoding 574 amino acids with a predicted isoelectric point and molecular mass of 6.8 and 63097.67 Da, respectively. The hydA ORF was PCR amplified from pGEM®-T-hydA and inserted into a prokaryotic expression vector to create a recombinant plasmid (pGEX-5X-hydA) and transformed into Escherichia coli BL-21. The recombinant E. coli BL-21 was investigated for fermentative hydrogen production under anaerobic condition from glucose. Heterologous expression of the Clostridium butyricum hydA resulted in 1.9 fold increase in hydrogen productivity as compared to that from the wild type strain, C. butyricum TERI BH05-2. The hydrogen yield of the recombinant strain was 3.2 mol H2/mol glucose, 1.68 fold higher than the wild type parent strain. 相似文献

The biochemical hydrogen potential (BHP) tests were conducted to investigate the metabolism of glucose fermentation and hydrogen production performance of four Clostridial species, including C. acetobutylicum M121, C. butyricum ATCC19398, C. tyrobutyricum FYa102, and C. beijerinckii L9. Batch experiments showed that all the tested strains fermented glucose, reduced medium pH from 7.2 to a value between 4.6 and 5.0, and produced butyrate (0.37–0.67 mmol/mmol-glucose) and acetate (0.34–0.42 mmol/mmol-glucose) as primary soluble metabolites. Meanwhile, a significant amount of hydrogen gas was produced accompanied with glucose degradation and acid production. Among the strains examined, C. beijerinckii L9 had the highest hydrogen production yield of 2.81 mmol/mmol-glucose. A kinetic model was developed to evaluate the metabolism of glucose fermentation of those Clostridium species in the batch cultures. The model, in general, was able to accurately describe the profile of glucose degradation as well as production of biomass, butyrate, acetate, ethanol, and hydrogen observed in the batch tests. In the glucose re-feeding experiments, the C. tyrobutyricum FYa102 and C. beijerinckii L9 isolates fermented additional glucose during re-feeding tests, producing a substantial amount of hydrogen. In contrast, C. butyricum ATCC19398 was unable to produce more hydrogen despite additional supply of glucose, presumably due to the metabolic shift from acetate/butyrate to lactate/ethanol production. 相似文献

In this study, biohydrogen production from glucose by two fermentative bacteria (Clostridium butyricum, a typical strictly anaerobic bacterium, and Klebsiella pneumoniae, a well-studied facultative anaerobic and nitrogen-fixing bacterium) are stiochiometrically analyzed according to energy (ATP), reducing equivalent and mass balances. The theoretical analysis reveals that the maximum yield of hydrogen on glucose by Clostridium butyricum is 3.26 mol/mol when all acetyl-CoA entering into the acetate pathway (α=1), which is higher than that by Klebsiella pneumoniae under strictly anaerobic conditions. In the latter case, the maximum yield by Klebsiella pneumoniae is 2.86 mol hydrogen per mol glucose when five sevenths of acetyl-CoA is transformed to acetate. However, under microaerobic condition the maximum yield of hydrogen on glucose by Klebsiella pneumoniae could reach 6.68 mol/mol if all acetyl-CoA entered into tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle (γ=1) and a quantity of 53% of the reducing equivalents generated in the metabolism were completely oxidized by molecular oxygen. On the other hand, the relationship between hydrogen production and biomass formation is distinct by Clostridium butyricum from that by Klebsiella pneumoniae. The former yield of hydrogen on glucose increases as biomass. In contrast, the latter one decreases as biomass in a certain range of molar fraction of acetate in total acetyl-CoA metabolism (5/7?β?0). Microaerobic condition is favorable for high hydrogen production with low biomass formation by Klebsiella pneumoniae in a certain range of the molar fraction of all reducing equivalents oxidized completely by molecular oxygen (0.53?δ?0.83). 相似文献

A mesophilic alkaline tolerant fermentative microbe was isolated from estuarine sediment samples and designated as Clostridium butyricum TM-9A, based on 16S rRNA gene sequence. Batch experiments were conducted for investigation of TM-9A strain for its growth and hydrogen productivity from glucose, in an iron containing basal solution supplemented with yeast extract as organic nitrogen source. Hydrogen production started to evolve when cell growth entered exponential phase and reached maximum production rate at late exponential phase. Maximum hydrogen production was observed at 37 °C, initial pH of 8.0 in the presence of 1% glucose. Optimization of process parameters resulted in increase in hydrogen yield from 1.64 to 2.67 mol of H2/mol glucose. Molar yield of H2 increased further from 2.67 to 3.1 mol of H2/mol of glucose with the decrease in hydrogen partial pressure, obtained by lowering the total pressure in the head space of the batch reactor. Acetate and butyrate were the measure volatile fatty acids generated during hydrogen fermentation. TM-9A strain produced hydrogen efficiently from a range of pentose and hexose sugars including di-, tri and poly-saccharides like; xylose, ribose, glucose, rhamnose, galactose, fructose, mannose, sucrose, arabinose, raffinose, cellulose, cellobiose and starch. 相似文献

Genome-scale model was applied to analyze the anaerobic metabolism of Escherichia coli. Three different methods were used to find deletions affecting fermentative hydrogen production: flux balance analysis (FBA), algorithm for blocking competing pathways (ABCP), and manual selection. Based on these methods, 81 E. coli mutants possessing one gene deletion were selected and cultivated in batch experiments. Experimental results of H2 and biomass production were compared against the results of FBA. Several gene deletions enhancing H2 production were found. Correctness of gene essentiality predictions of FBA for the selected genes was 78% and 77% in glucose and galactose media, respectively. 33% of the mutations that were predicted by FBA to increase H2 production had a positive effect in experiments. Batch cultivation is a simple and straightforward experimental way to screen improvements in H2 production. However, the ability of FBA to predict the H2 production rate cannot be evaluated by batch experiments. Metabolic network models provide a method for gaining broader understanding of the complicated metabolic system of a cell and can aid in prospecting suitable gene deletions for enhancing H2 production. 相似文献

In this study, hydrogen gas was produced from starch feedstock via combination of enzymatic hydrolysis of starch and dark hydrogen fermentation. Starch hydrolysis was conducted using batch culture of Caldimonas taiwanensis On1 able to hydrolyze starch completely under the optimal condition of 55 °C and pH 7.5, giving a yield of 0.46–0.53 g reducing sugar/g starch. Five H2-producing pure strains and a mixed culture were used for hydrogen production from raw and hydrolyzed starch. All the cultures could produce H2 from hydrolyzed starch, whereas only two pure strains (i.e., Clostridium butyricum CGS2 and CGS5) and the mixed culture were able to ferment raw starch. Nevertheless, all the cultures displayed higher hydrogen production efficiencies while using the starch hydrolysate, leading to a maximum specific H2 production rate of 116 and 118 ml/g VSS/h, for Cl. butyricumCGS2 and Cl. pasteurianum CH5, respectively. Meanwhile, the H2 yield obtained from strain CGS2 and strain CH5 was 1.23 and 1.28 mol H2/mol glucose, respectively. The best starch-fermenting strain Cl. butyricum CGS2 was further used for continuous H2 production using hydrolyzed starch as the carbon source under different hydraulic retention time (HRT). When the HRT was gradually shortened from 12 to 2 h, the specific H2 production rate increased from 250 to 534 ml/g VSS/h, whereas the H2 yield decreased from 2.03 to 1.50 mol H2/mol glucose. While operating at 2 h HRT, the volumetric H2 production rate reached a high level of 1.5 l/h/l. 相似文献

A hydrogen producing facultative anaerobic alkaline tolerant novel bacterial strain was isolated from crude oil contaminated soil and identified as Enterobacter cloacae DT-1 based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. DT-1 strain could utilize various carbon sources; glycerol, CMCellulose, glucose and xylose, which demonstrates that DT-1 has potential for hydrogen generation from renewable wastes. Batch fermentative studies were carried out for optimization of pH and Fe2+ concentration. DT-1 could generate hydrogen at wide range of pH (5–10) at 37 °C. Optimum pH was; 8, at which maximum hydrogen was obtained from glucose (32 mmol/L), when used as substrate in BSH medium containing 5 mg/L Fe2+ ion. Decrease in hydrogen partial pressure by lowering the total pressure in the fermenter head space, enhanced the hydrogen production performance of DT-1 from 32 mmol H2/L to 42 mmol H2/L from glucose and from 19 mmol H2/L to 33 mmol H2/L from xylose. Hydrogen yield efficiency (HY) of DT-1 from glucose and xylose was 1.4 mol H2/mol glucose and 2.2 mol H2/mol xylose, respectively. Scale up of batch fermentative hydrogen production in proto scale (20 L working volume) at regulated pH, enhanced the HY efficiency of DT-1 from 2.2 to 2.8 mol H2/mol xylose (1.27 fold increase in HY from laboratory scale). 84% of maximum theoretical possible HY efficiency from xylose was achieved by DT-1. Acetate and ethanol were the major metabolites generated during hydrogen production. 相似文献
