Various metal ions play a key role in biohydrogen (H2) production by phototrophic bacteria through incorporation into or stimulating the responsible enzymes and/or related pathways. The Ni (II) and Mg (II) ions effects on growth and H2 production by Rhodobacter sphaeroides strain MDC6521 isolated from mineral springs in Armenia were established. The highest growth specific rate was obtained with 4–6 μM Ni2+ and 5 mM Mg2+. pH of the growth medium changed from 7.0 to 9.2–9.4 during the bacterial growth up to 72 h in spite of Ni2+ added but pH increased in different manner with Mg2+. In the presence of 2–4 μM Ni2+ external oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) decreased to more negative values (−800 ± 15 mV). This decrease of ORP indicated ∼2.7-fold enhanced H2 yield (9.80 mmol L−1) with Ni2+ compared with the control (without Ni2+). The H2 yield determined in the medium with Mg2+ was ∼2.2 fold higher than that with 1 mM Mg2+. These results reveal new regulatory ways to improve H2 production by R. sphaeroides those were depending on Ni2+ and Mg2+ of different concentrations. 相似文献

Some amino acids (alanine, asparagine, glutamate, glycine, proline, and tyrosine) were used as nitrogen sources in combination with carbon sources (succinate and malate) to study growth properties and H2 production by purple non-sulfur bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides strains A-10 and D-3. Both strains produced H2 in succinate–glutamate and malate–glutamate media. Succinate was a better carbon source than malate. In comparison with strain D-3, strain A-10 was able to utilize proline, alanine or tyrosine as nitrogen sources in succinate medium and to produce H2. Both strains were unable to produce H2 in the presence of asparagine or glycine as nitrogen sources. N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, the F0F1-ATPase inhibitor, led to marked inhibition of H2 production activity of R. sphaeroides. The results suggest that the R. sphaeroides cells growth can be achieved by the use of a large diversity of substrates but only some of them can increase the H2 production rate. 相似文献

Poly-β-hydroxy butyric acid (PHB) accumulation and gaseous H2 release are regarded as alternatives for expending reducing power. Some researchers suggested that quorum-sensing system affects PHB accumulation in Rhodobacter sphaeroides, but whether the system plays regulation role between hydrogen producing and PHB synthesis is still unknown. By adding autoinducer of R. sphaeroides into its culture solutions, measuring its total hydrogen production, PHB content and PHB synthase activity, the function of quorum-sensing on PHB accumulation and hydrogen production was preliminarily investigated. Compared with the control, the total gas productions in experimental groups increased accompanying slight decrease of PHB contents, which was partially caused by the reduction of PHB synthase activities. Biolog tests indicated the carbon source utilization profiles, especially those involving fatty acids and butanoate metabolism, had partly changed after exogenous signal molecules added. These results suggest that quorum-sensing is involved in signal regulation between PHB accumulation and hydrogen production in R. sphaeroides. 相似文献

This article aims to study hydrogen production and proton transport in two strains of purple non-sulfur bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides isolated from mineral springs of Armenia. This bacterium is able to grow and produce molecular hydrogen (H2) in anaerobic conditions upon illumination. Along with H2 production, a marked decrease in redox potential and the alkalization of the medium have been observed; the latter might be the evidence of proton influx. H2 production and alkalization of the medium by whole cells both are suppressed by the F0F1-ATPase inhibitors – N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD), sodium azide (NaN3) and protonophore – carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP). Membrane vesicles of two strains of R. sphaeroides demonstrate ATPase activity, inhibited by DCCD and NaN3, but not by CCCP. These results indicate a relationship between H2 production, proton transport and the F0F1-ATPase activity that might be a pathway to regulate bacterial activity under anaerobic conditions. 相似文献

Purple non-sulfur (PNS) bacteria can convert volatile fatty acids into hydrogen with a high substrate conversion efficiency. However, when PNS bacteria utilize sugars as a carbon source, such as glucose and sucrose, the substrate conversion efficiency is relatively low. In order to investigate the contributions of the glucose catabolic pathways in Rhodobacter sphaeroides 6016 to its hydrogen production, the cfxA gene from the Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) pathway, edd from the Entner–Doudoroff (ED) pathway, and kdg from the semi-phosphorylative ED bypass were knocked out to construct the mutant strains edd−, cfxA−, and kdg−, respectively. Additionally, two of these three genes were knocked out to construct the mutant strains kdg−edd−, kdg−cfxA−, and cfxA−edd−. Hydrogen productions by these mutant strains were compared to that of the wild type strain 6016 using 25 mM glucose as a carbon source. Compared to 6016, variations in hydrogen production and growth were detected in the edd mutant strains (kdg−edd−, cfxA−edd−, and edd−), while no obvious changes were detected in the others. Notably, the kdg−edd− mutant did not produce hydrogen, and its maximum growth was 70% less than that of R. sphaeroides 6016. These results indicate that the ED pathway and semi-phosphorylative ED bypass have a governing impact on cell growth and hydrogen production from glucose in R. sphaeroides 6016. The potential synergistic function of the ED pathway and semi-phosphorylative ED bypass and the reasons for the low hydrogen yield from sugar carbon sources in R. sphaeroides 6016 are discussed. 相似文献

Photofermentation of acid hydrolyzed oil palm empty fruit bunch is reported for hydrogen production in repeated-batch fermentations using the bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides S10. Photofermentations were carried out at 35 °C at an incident light level of 10 klux. At specified times, different specified volumes of the culture broth were removed and replaced with an equal volume of the fresh medium. The initial mixed carbon (glucose, xylose, acetic acid) content in the medium of the repeated-batch reactors was adjusted to 20 mM. The kinetics of hydrogen production were evaluated in repeated-batch fermentations carried out in various ways: different volume exchange levels, different switch times from batch to repeated-batch operation, and different cycle times. 相似文献

The study of photosynthetic hydrogen production by using Rhodobacter sphaeroides RV from acetate was described. We investigated the effects of light source (fluorescent, halogen and tungsten lamps), light intensity (1200–6000 lux), inoculum quantity (OD660 0.212–OD660 1.082) and initial pH (4.0–10.0) on biohydrogen production. The results indicated that the hydrogen production for halogen and tungsten lamps was better than it for fluorescent lamp as light source. The best light intensity of hydrogen production was 3600 lux for tungsten lamp as light source. Inoculum quantity experiments indicated that the higher hydrogen production volume and hydrogen conversion rate were obtained at initial OD660 of 0.931. The effect of initial pH on hydrogen production indicated that the maximum hydrogen yield reached to 653.2 mmol H2/mol acetate at initial pH 7.0. 相似文献

The genes coding for two PII-like proteins, GlnB and GlnK, which play key roles in repressing the nitrogenase expression in the presence of ammonium ion, were interrupted from the chromosome of Rhodobacter sphaeroides. The glnB–glnK mutant exhibits the less ammonium ion-mediated repression for nitrogenase compared with its parental strain, which results in more H2 accumulation by the mutant under the conditions. Rhodospirillum rubrum produces H2 by both nitrogenase and hydrogenase. R. rubrum containing the recombinant pRK415 with an insert of hydC coding for its own Fe-only hydrogenase showed twofold higher accumulation of H2 in the presence of pyruvate under photoheterotrophic conditions, which was not observed in the absence of pyruvate. The same was true with R. rubrum containing the recombinant pRK415 cloned with hydA coding for Fe-only hydrogenase of Clostridium acetobutylicum. Thus, Fe-only hydrogenase requires pyruvate as an electron donor for the production of H2. 相似文献

In this study, recombinant plasmid was constructed to analyze the effect of hydrogen production on the expression HupSL hydrogenase isolated from Rhodobacter sphaeroides in Escherichia coli. Although most of recombinant HupSL hydrogenase was produced as inclusion bodies the solubility of the protein increased significantly when the expression temperature shifted from 37 °C to 30 °C. Hydrogen production by expression of HupSL hydrogenase from recombinant E. coli increased 20.9-fold compared to control E. coli and 218-fold compared to wild type R. sphaeroides under anaerobic dark condition. The results demonstrate that HupSL hydrogenase, consisting of small and large subunits of hydrogenase isolated from R. sphaeroides, increases hydrogen production in recombinant E. coli. In addition conditions for enhancing the activity of HupSL hydrogenase in E. coli were suggested and were used to increase bacterial hydrogen production. 相似文献

Rhodobacter sphaeroides RV (RV) is a hydrogen-producing bacterium exhibiting the highest yield of hydrogen production from organic acids such as lactate and acetate, which are the byproducts of hydrogen fermentation by hydrogen-producing anaerobic bacteria. Co-fermentation of the RV strain with anaerobic bacteria is an efficient method of hydrogen production. However, less than 21 mM acetate is produced by the anaerobic bacteria, which is too low for efficient hydrogen production by the RV strain; it requires approximately 75 mM acetate. In this study, 2 distinct isozymes of aldehyde dehydrogenase from Rhodospirillum rubrum were separately overexpressed in the RV strain. The recombinant RV strains that were designated as RVAD1 and RVAD2, exhibited 13-fold higher ALDH activities than the wild-type RV strain. Hydrogen yields of both of the recombinant strains were 1.4-fold higher than that of the RV strain in 21 mM acetate. In 43 mM acetate, the RVAD1 strain showed higher yield, though the RVAD2 strain showed lower yield as compared to that of the RV strain. In 64 mM acetate and all concentrations of lactate tested (21, 43 and 64 mM), the yields of the recombinant strains were lower than those of the RV strain. The intact (empty) expression plasmid increased the ALDH activity and had little effect on the hydrogen production in acetate, however, it decreased the production in lactate. At the beginning of the fermentation process, when very little hydrogen had been produced, the recombinant strains expressing the ALDH gene consumed smaller amounts of acetate compared to the wild-type strain. We have discussed the effects of ALDH on hydrogen production in this report. 相似文献

Rhodobacter sphaeroides MDC6522 is able to produce hydrogen (H2) during photofermentation. Metronidazole (2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole-1-ethanol) has been shown to affect bacterial growth under anaerobic nitrogen-limited conditions in a concentration-dependent manner (within the range of 0.1–2 mM) by increasing lag phase duration and decreasing growth rate. The addition of metronidazole into the growth medium resulted in a delayed decrease of redox potential (Eh): by the addition of 0.1 mM metronidazole Eh decreased to −590 ± 25 mV, whereas in the presence of 2 mM Eh drop down was to −175 ± 15 mV. H2 production during R. sphaeroides growth disappeared in the presence of metronidazole. By addition of 0.5 mM metronidazole H2 yield was ∼8 fold lower in comparison with control; whereas the bacterium was unable to produce H2 in the presence of 1–2 mM. The effects of metronidazole on nitrogenase-dependent H2 production by R. sphaeroides might be explained by change of general photosynthetic electron transport with metronidazole as an alternative electron acceptor instead of nitrogenase. ATPase activity of membrane vesicles was determined with and without N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD), an inhibitor of the F0F1-ATPase. It was revealed that DCCD-inhibited ATPase activity increased in the presence of metronidazole. It is possible that this effect may be resulted in either by direct affect of metronidazole on the F0F1-ATPase, or by its effect on Eh regulating ATPase activity. 相似文献

In this study, hydrogen production by Rhodobacter sphaeroides RV from acetate was investigated. Ammonium sulphate and sodium glutamate were used to study the effects of nitrogen sources on photosynthetic hydrogen production. The results showed the optimal concentrations for ammonium sulphate and sodium glutamate were in the range of 0.4–0.8 g/L. Orthogonal array design was applied to optimize the hydrogen-producing conditions of the concentrations of yeast, FeSO4 and NiCl2. The theoretical optimal condition for hydrogen production was as follow: yeast 0.1 g/L, FeSO4 100 mg/L and NiCl2 20 mg/L. 相似文献

Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U. 001 (concentration of inoculum-0.36 g dry wt/l) and brewery wastewaters were applied in photobiogeneration of hydrogen under illumination of 116 W/m2. The best results were obtained with filtered wastewaters sterilized at 120 °C for 20 min and maximal concentration of waste in medium equal 10% v/v. The main product in generated biogas was hydrogen (90%). After sterilization the amount of generated hydrogen was tripled (from 0.76 to 2.2 l H2/l medium), whereas waste concentration of 10% v/v resulted in the best substrate yield (0.22 l H2/l of waste). Under these conditions the amount of generated hydrogen was 2.24 l H2/l medium and light conversion efficiency reached value of 1.7%. The modified Gompertz equations served in modeling of the kinetics of the studied process. 相似文献

Rhodobacter sphaeroides RV was employed to produce hydrogen for the photo-fermentation of sole (acetate, propionate, butyrate, lactate, malate, succinate, ethanol, glucose, citrate and sodium carbonate) and compound carbon sources (malate and succinate, lactate and succinate). The concentrations of sole carbon sources on hydrogen production were investigated in batch assays at 0.8 g/L sodium glutamate and the maximum hydrogen yield was 424 mmol H2/mol-substrate obtained at 0.8 g/L sodium propionate. The maximum hydrogen yield reached 794 mmol H2/mol-substrate for 2.02 g lactate and 2.0 g succinate as the compound carbon source. The results showed hydrogen production for the compound carbon source was better than the sole carbon source. 相似文献

Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 is one of the candidates for photobiological hydrogen production among purple non-sulfur bacteria. Hydrogen is produced by Mo-nitrogenase from organic acids such as malate or lactate. A hupSL in frame deletion mutant strain was constructed without using any antibiotic resistance gene. The hydrogen production potential of the R. sphaeroides O.U.001 and its newly constructed hupSL deleted mutant strain in acetate media was evaluated and compared with malate containing media. The hupSL−R. sphaeroides produced 2.42 l H2/l culture and 0.25 l H2/l culture in 15 mM malate and 30 mM acetate containing media, respectively, as compared to the wild type cells which evolved 1.97 l H2/l culture and 0.21 l H2/l culture in malate and acetate containing media, correspondingly. According to the results, hupSL−R. sphaeroides is a better hydrogen producer but acetate alone does not seem to be an efficient carbon source for photoheterotrophic H2 production by R. sphaeroides. 相似文献

The effect of ferrous ion (0–3.2 mg/l) on photo heterotrophic hydrogen production was studied in batch culture using sodium lactate as substrate. The results showed that hydrogen production by Rhodobacter sphaeroides was significantly suppressed when Fe2+ was limited. Hydrogen production increased linearly with an increase in Fe2+ concentration in the range of 0–1.6 mg/l; reaching a maximum at 2.4 mg/l. When hydrogen production was suppressed in the above medium, a pH increase to 8.9 was observed, and the ratio of lactate utilized to total organic carbon removal was found to be increased, indicating that more soluble organic products were produced. Under the Fe2+ limited conditions, ferrous iron was shown to have a greater effect on hydrogen production by Rb. sphaeroides than that by the anaerobic heterotrophic bacterium Clostridium butyricum. 相似文献

Biohydrogen has gained attention due to its potential as a sustainable alternative to conventional methods for hydrogen production. In this study, the effect of light intensity as well as cultivation method (standing- and shaking-culture) on the cell growth and hydrogen production of Rhodobacter sphaeroides ZX-5 were investigated in 38-ml anaerobic photobioreactor with RCVBN medium. Thus, a novel shaking and extra-light supplementation (SELS) approach was developed to enhance the phototrophic H2 production by R. sphaeroides ZX-5 using malate as the sole carbon source. The optimum illumination condition for shaking-culture by strain ZX-5 increased to 7000–8000 lux, markedly higher than that for standing-culture (4000–5000 lux). Under shaking and elevated illumination (7000–8000 lux), the culture was effective in promoting photo-H2 production, resulting in a 59% and 56% increase of the maximum and average hydrogen production rate, respectively, in comparison with the culture under standing and 4000–5000 lux conditions. The highest hydrogen-producing rate of 165.9 ml H2/l h was observed under the application of SELS approach. To our knowledge, this record is currently the highest hydrogen production rate of non-immobilized purple non-sulphur (PNS) bacteria. This optimal performance of photo-H2 production using SELS approach is a favorable choice of sustainable and economically feasible strategy to improve phototrophic H2 production efficiency. 相似文献

Statistically based experimental designs were applied to optimize the fermentation process parameters for hydrogen (H2) production by co-culture of Clostridium acidisoli and Rhodobacter sphaeroides with sucrose as substrate. An initial screening using the Plackett–Burman design identified three factors that significantly influenced H2 yield: sucrose concentration, initial pH, and inoculum ratio. These factors were considered to have simultaneous and interdependent effects. A central composite design and response surface analysis were adopted to further investigate the mutual interactions among the factors and to identify the values that maximized H2 production. The optimal substrate concentration, initial pH, and inoculum ratio of C. acidisoli to R. sphaeroides were 11.43 g/L sucrose, 7.13, and 0.83, respectively. Using these optimal culture conditions, substrate conversion efficiency was determined as 10.16 mol H2/mol sucrose (5.08 mol H2/mol hexose), which was near the expected value of 10.70 mol H2/mol sucrose (5.35 mol H2/mol hexose). 相似文献
