AB  - This study attempted to determine the optimal temperature and initial cultivation 
      pH by conducting a series of batch tests in stirred-tank bioreactor using 
      fructose-producing wastewater as an organic substrate. The bioreactor temperature 
      was controlled at 35-55 degrees C with an initial pH of 4-8. Hydrogen production 
      efficiency was assessed using specific hydrogen production potential (SHPP) and 
      the maximum specific hydrogen production rate (SHPR(m)). Experimental results 
      indicated that temperature and initial pH markedly affected SHPP and SHPR(m), 
      volatile fatty acids distribution as well as the ratio of butyrate/acetate 
      (BHu/HAc). Two-fold higher SHPP and SHPR(m) were obtained at thermophilic 
      condition (55 degrees C) than those at mesophilic condition (35 degrees C). The optimal initial 
      pH was 6 for hydrogen production with peak values of SHPP of 166.8 ml-H(2)/g-COD 
      and SHPR(m) of 26.7 ml-H(2)/g-VSS-h for fructose-processing wastewater. 
      Molasses-processing wastewater had a higher SHPP (187.0 ml-H(2)/g-COD) and 
      SHPR(m) (42.7 ml-H(2)/gVSS-h) than fructose-processing wastewater at pH 6. The 
      DGGE profiles indicated that molasses-processing wastewater is a better substrate 
      than fructose-processing wastewater for growth of hydrogen-producing bacteria due 
      to the high staining intensity of bands.
