Metabolic Pathways of Hydrogen Production in Fermentative Acidogenic Microflora

TL;DR: Tests indicated that no hydrogen-producing acetogens or they were unable to work effectively in the anaerobically activated sludge with a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of less than 8 h, and 69% of the hydrogen was produced from the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvic acid, whereas the remaining 31% was from the oxidation of NADH to NAD+.
