Abstract
Optimum culture conditions and medium composition for hydrogen production by Clostridium beijerinckii KCTC 1785 were investigated. Initial pH and temperature for growth were 7.0 and $35^{\circ}C$, respectively. Agitation accelerated the hydrogen production. Although C. beijerinckii KCTC 1785 could grow up to 6%(w/v) glucose in the medium, the optimum glucose concentration for hydrogen production was 4% and hydrogen content in the biogas was 37%(v/v). However, the economical glucose concentration for hydrogen production was 1% regarding to the residual glucose which was not used in the medium. During hydrogen fermentation, acetic and butyric acid were produced simultaneously. High concentrations of acetic(>5,000 mg/L) or butyric(>3,000 mg/L) acid inhibited hydrogen production. When pH was maintained at 5.5 in the batch fermentation, 1,728 mL of hydrogen was produced from 0.5% glucose within 15 hr. $H_2$ yield was estimated to be 1.23 mol $H_2/mol$ glucose. It was found that yeast extract or tryptose in the medium was essential for hydrogen production.
