Hydrogen Oxidizing Bacteria as Poly(hydroxybutyrate) Producers
Batch culture of Ralstonia eutropha using the recycled gas closed circuit culture system was conducted in order to develop a practical fermentation system for industrial autotrophic culture for poly (hydroxybutrate) production. The gas phase of the culture system consisted of substrate gas so that gases in this culture could be recycled as long as the amount of the gas consumed would be repleni...
متن کاملHydrogen metabolism in aerobic hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria.
A survey on organisms able to use molecular hydrogen as electron donor in the energy-yielding process is presented. In the group of the aerobic hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria so far two types of hydrogenases have been encountered, a NAD-reducing, soluble enzyme (H2 : NAD oxidoreductase) and a membrane-bound enzyme unable to reduce pyridine nucleotides. With respect to the distribution of both type...
متن کاملAtmospheric hydrogen scavenging: from enzymes to ecosystems.
We have known for 40 years that soils can consume the trace amounts of molecular hydrogen (H2) found in the Earth’s atmosphere.This process is predicted to be the most significant term in the global hydrogen cycle. However, the organisms and enzymes responsible for this process were only recently identified. Pure culture experiments demonstrated that several species of Actinobacteria, including...
متن کاملMinimum threshold for hydrogen metabolism in methanogenic bacteria.
Methanogenic isolates did not consume hydrogen below partial pressures of 6.5 Pa. Thus, in contrast to a previous report, results from pure-culture studies do not invalidate the threshold model for methane production from hydrogen in sediments.
متن کاملPretreatment to Increase Hydrogen Producing Bacteria (HPB)
This Chapter focuses on the investigation of an easy and efficacious method of obtaining a hydrogen-producing bacteria (HPB) culture to the detriment of hydrogen-consuming bacteria (HCB), such as methanogens and homoacetogenic bacteria. Although the use of mixed microflora is more viable from both the practical and biological points of view, important limitations arise from the co-activity of H...
