Biohydrogen production from space crew's waste simulants using thermophilic consolidated bioprocessing.

摘要: Abstract Human waste simulants were for the first time converted into biohydrogen by a newly developed anaerobic microbial consortium via thermophilic consolidated bioprocessing. Four different BioH2-producing consortia (denoted as C1, C2, C3 and C4) isolated, using human substrate. The C3, which contained Thermoanaerobacterium, Caloribacterium, Caldanaerobius species main constituents, showed highest BioH2 production (3.999 mmol/g) from under optimized conditions (pH 7.0 60 °C). also produced significant amounts of (5.732 mmol/g 2.186 mmol/g) wastewater activated sludge, respectively. in this study is promising candidate H2 space applications situ resource utilization.
