Super Bacteria Ramp Up Hydrogen Production
Monday, March 10, 2008
"A team of researchers in the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur has claimed of making a significant breakthrough in isolating a hydrogen-producing bacterial strain that produces 40 per cent more hydrogen than other bacterial strains. The development is considered to be significant in the production of hydrogen gas, an efficient and clean fuel. According to Prof Debatrata Das, who is heading the research team, Enterobacter cloacae can produce about 3.85 moles of hydrogen from one mole of the substrate, which is very close to the theoretical limit of 4 moles of hydrogen during anaerobic fermentation."
