Single-stage photofermentative biohydrogen production from sugar beet molasses by different purple non-sulfur bacteria.

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.
