Biohydrogen production: prospects and limitations to practical application

TLDR
In this paper, the authors compare the hydrogen production rates of various bio-hydrogen systems by first standardizing the units of hydrogen production and then calculating the size of biohydrogen system that would be required to power proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells of various sizes.

Effect of Metal Cofactors of Key Enzymes on Biohydrogen Production by Nitrogen Fixing Cyanobacterium Anabaena siamensis TISIR 8012

TL;DR: Investigating the effect of metal cofactors on H2 production and hydrogenase activity by N2-fixing cyanobacterium Anabaena siamensis found that under nitrogen deprivation, an increase of iron, nickel, and molybdenum concentrations obviously enhanced H2Production rate, indicating that the iron metal assisted in the function of reversible hydrogen enzyme activity.

Characterization of a native cellulase activity from an anaerobic thermophilic hydrogen-producing bacterium Thermosipho sp. strain 3

TL;DR: A bacterial strain, designated as strain 3 and identified as a member of the Thermosipho species on the basis of its phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, was isolated from a deep sea hydrothermal vent and produced a thermostable endocellulase that hydrolyzes carboxymethylcellulose and β-glucan.

Biohydrogen Production: Status and Perspectives

TL;DR: A review of the state-of-the-art biohydrogen research focusing on the biological pathways, feedstocks, and bioreactor systems is provided in this paper, where economics, perspectives, and outlook of bio-hydrogen production are also outlined.

Bio-hydrogen and biomass supported palladium catalyst for energy production and waste minimisation. Ph.D. Thesis. University of Birmingham.

TL;DR: Palladised biomass was produced, producing Bio-Pd(0), which was useful in the construction of bioinorganic catalytic anodes for the electricity generation from bio-H2 using a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (‘downstream system’).
