Title: Low oxygen levels contribute to improve photohydrogen production in mixotrophic non-stressed Chlamydomonas cultures

Abstract

Currently, hydrogen fuel is derived mainly from fossil fuels, but there is an increasing interest in clean and sustainable technologies for hydrogen production. In this context, the ability of some photosynthetic microorganisms, particularly cyanobacteria and microalgae, to produce hydrogen is a promising alternative for renewable, clean-energy production. Among a diverse array of photosynthetic microorganisms able to produce hydrogen, the green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is the model organism widely used to study hydrogen production. Furthermore, the well-known fact that acetate-containing medium enhances hydrogen production in this algae, little is known about the precise role of acetate during this process.

Fig. 1 Fig. 1: Determination of H2, O2, acetic acid, and CO2 levels in non‑ aerated cultures incubated at different light intensities. H2 (a, e), O2 (b, f) and CO2 (d, h) levels were determined for the headspaces. Acetic acid (c, g) was determined in the media. Panels a to d correspondmore » to measurements done in TAP media, whereas panels e to h correspond to measurements done in TAP media supplemented with DCMU. Represented data are average from at least three independent experiments« less
