Optimization of immobilization parameters of Thermoanaerobacterium thermosaccharolyticum W16 on a new carrier for enhanced hydrogen production

Abstract

A new biological carrier mycelia pellet was adopted for enhanced hydrogen production by Thermoanaerobacterium thermosaccharolyticum W16. Immobilization parameters were optimized by response surface methodology for achieving maximum hydrogen yield. To our best knowledge, this is the first report detailing the interaction of immobilization parameters of this bacterium on a mycelia pellet.
