TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of N2 sparging on hydrogen yield was investigated in non-sterile conditions using a hydrogen-producing mixed culture previously enriched from soya bean meal.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) on hydrogen fermentation of organic waste were investigated, and it was shown that the inhibitory effect of LAB on hydrogen production was caused by bacteriocins excreted from LAB which have a deleterious effect on other bacteria.

TL;DR: Investigation of the biological hydrogen production potential of individual organic fraction of municipal solid wastes by batch experiments found carbohydrate produced the most hydrogen through biological hydrogen fermentation compared with proteins or lipids.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the hydrogen production from organic wastes using batch experiments using bean curd manufacturing waste, rice bran and wheat bran as the organic wastes and found that the hydrogen yields from carbohydrate degradation were 2.54, 1.29 and 1.73 mol of H 2 mol −1 of hexose.

TL;DR: In this paper, the hydrogen production from bean curd manufacturing waste by anaerobic microflora was investigated using batch experiments at 35 °C. The results indicated that the metabolic pathway and the amount of hydrogen production would be significantly influenced by the carbohydrate concentration.
