Simultaneous bio-hydrogen production and pretreated corn stalk degradation by a new cellulose-degradation bactertom

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this study, Cellulolyticum sp. X9, anaerobic high efficiency cellulose degrading and hydrogen producing bacterium, was isolated from a continuous-flow H2 producing reactor(ZL92114474.1). Experimental results showed that strain X9 has high hydrogen yield (YH2) of 780 ml H2/L-culture, specific H2 production rate (YH2/s) of 5.1 mol H2/g-cellulose and cellulose degradation degree of 69.6% feeding with microcrystalline cellulose (MC). Then, strain X9 was adopted to investigate H2 production capabilities directly from corn stalks fermentation following with four different pretreatment methods. Of which, steam explosion pretreatment showed the highest H2 yield (YH2) and com stalk degradation degree. This indicated that Cellulolyticum sp. X9 has great potential for fermentative H2 production from lignocelluloses biomass like com stalks after effective pretreatment.
