Title:
METHOD OF MICROBIAL PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN AND HYDROGEN PRODUCTION APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2004/011659
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A method of producing hydrogen which comprises a series of steps involving the step of obtaining a metabolic source for producing hydrogen by a microalga having a photosynthesis ability and the step of producing hydrogen by a bacterium having a photosynthesis ability with the use of the above metabolic source. In this method, the above-described microalga and/or the above-described bacterium is fixed on a support insoluble in a liquid and then pre-cultured as being in the liquid so as to elevate the cell density before supplying to the above steps. The microalga and the bacterium the cell densities of which have been preliminarily elevated are a microalgae and a bacterium which are in the latter logarithmic growth phase or the stationary phase where the growth of the cells has progressed and present in the saturated state in marine water and/or a solution containing a nitrogen source, inorganic matters and vitamins.
