TI  - Effect of pH on hydrogen production from glucose by a mixed culture.
PG  - 87-93
AB  - The effect of pH on the conversion of glucose to hydrogen by a mixed culture of 
      fermentative bacteria was evaluated. At 36 degrees C, six hours hydraulic 
      retention, over 90% of glucose was degraded at pH ranging 4.0-7.0, producing 
      biogas and an effluent comprising mostly fatty acids. At the optimal pH of 5.5, 
      the biogas comprised 64 +/- 2% of hydrogen with a yield of 2.1 +/- 0.1 
      mol-H2/mol-glucose and a specific production rate of 4.6 +/- 0.4 l-H2/(g-VSS 
      day). The effluent was composed of acetate (15.3-34.1%) and butyrate 
      (31.2-45.6%), plus smaller quantities of other volatile fatty acids and alcohols. 
      The diversity of microbial communities increased with pH, based on 16S rDNA 
      analysis by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE).
