Effect of prolonged hypoxia in autotrophic conditions in the hydrogen production by the green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in photobioreactor

Abstract

In the context of hydrogen production by the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, the control of light attenuation conditions is used to setup anoxia under illuminated and autotrophic conditions, without affecting photosynthetic capacities of cells (as with sulphur deprivation or PSII inhibitors like DCMU). This paper presents a full description of the protocol where the incident photons flux density (PFD) is adapted during cultivation in order to obtain a sufficiently low illuminated fraction c under 0.25 leading to anoxic hydrogen producing conditions during several days. The protocol is validated in a torus-shape photobioreactor (PBR) revealing after few days of anoxic conditions a peak of hydrogen production (1.44 ml H 2 /h/l of culture; [0.8-1.0] ml H 2 /h/g of dry weight biomass) concomitant with a decrease of bio-mass concentration, protein content and maximal photosynthetic yield. Effect of over-accumulating starch, as being known to increase hydrogen production by the PS II-independent pathway, is also investigated.
