Hydrogen generation from complex substrates composed of simple sugars has the potential to mitigate future worldwide energy demand. The biohydrogen potential of a sequential microaerobic dark- and photo-fermentative system was investigated using immobilized Rhodobacter capsulatus JP91. Biological hydrogen production from glucose was carried out using a batch process and a bench-scale bioreactor.

Biohydrogen production via fermentative routes offers considerable advantages in waste recycling and sustainable energy production. This can be realized by single-stage dark or photofermentative processes, or by a two-stage integrated process; the latter offering the higher production yields due to complete conversion of sugar substrates into H and CO. However, problems arising from the integration of these two processes limit its scale-up and implementation.
