Abstract | Three Chlorella species were screened to check their ability for biohydrogen production. Growth behavior of each Chlorella species was studied by cultivating it in normal BG-11 and sulfer-deprived BG-11 media. All species showed a suppressed growth in sulfer-deprived medium. Chlorella species were incubated for a specific time at 28 °C with 150 rpm in sulfer-deprived medium under anaerobic condition for biohydrogen production investigation. Chlorella sp. TISTR 8262 exhibited the maximum hydrogen production yield with 13.03% composition of total biogas produced, followed by Chlorella ellipsoidea TISTR 8260 showing 3.05% of hydrogen, while there was no hydrogen production observed from Chlorella vulgaris TISTR 8680. |
