This study was performed to investigate the application of dark $H_2$ fermentation to two-stage bioprocesses for organic waste treatment and energy production. We reviewed information about the two-stage bioprocesses combining dark $H_2$ fermentation with $CH_4$ fermentation, photo $H_2$ fermentation, microbial fuel cells (MFCs), or microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) by using academic information databases and university libraries. Dark fermentative bacteria use organic waste as the sole source of electrons and energy, converting it into $H_2$. The reactions related to dark $H_2$ fermentation are rapid and do not require sunlight, making them useful for treating organic waste. However, the degradation is not complete and organic acids remain. Thus, dark $H_2$ fermentation should be combined with a post-treatment process, such as $CH_4$ fermentation, photo $H_2$ fermentation, MFCs, or MECs. So far, dark $H_2$ fermentation followed by $CH_4$ fermentation is a promising two-stage bioprocess among them. However, if the problems of manufacturing expenses, operational cost, scale-up, and practical applications will be solved, the two-stage bioprocesses combining dark $H_2$ fermentation with photo $H_2$ fermentation, MFCs, or MECs have also infinite potential in organic waste treatment and energy production. This paper demonstrated the feasibility of two-stage bioprocesses combining dark $H_2$ fermentation as a novel system for organic waste treatment and energy production.

Rhodopseudomonas palustris P4 can produce $H_2$ either from CO by water-gas shift reaction or from various sugars by anaerobic fermentation. Fermentative $H_2$ production by P4 is fast, but its yield is relatively low due to the formation of various organic acids. In order to increase $H_2$ production yield from glucose, P4 was investigated for the photo-fermentation of acetate which is a major by-product of fermentative $H_2$ production. Experiments were performed in batch modes using both light-grown and dark-grown cells. When the dark-grown P4 was challenged with light and acetate, $H_2$ was produced with the consumption of acetate after a lag period of 25 h. $H_2$ production was inhibited when a nitrogen source, especially ammonium, is present. When the dark-fermentation broth containing acetate was adopted for photo-fermentation with light-grown cells, $H_2$ production and concomitant acetate consumption occurred without a lag period. The $H_2$ yield was estimated as 2.4 - 2.8 mol $H_2/mol$ acetate and the specific $H_2$ production rate was as 9.8 ml $H_2/g$ cell${\cdot}$h, The fact that a single strain can perform both dark- and light-fermentation gives a great advantage in process development Compared to a one-step dark-fermentation, the combined dark- and light-fermentation can increase the $H_2$ production yield on glucose by two-fold.

Ale과 lager 효모를 이용하여 맥주발효 실험한 결과, lager 효모는 발효가 활발하게 일어나는 발효 초기에 많은 양의 황화수소를 발생하였으며 ale 효모보다 더욱 많은 양의 황화수소가 발생되었다. 효모의 증식이 활발한 발효 초기에 많은 양의 황화수소가 만들어지는 것을 보아 효모의 증식과 황화수소의 생성 사이에는 상관관계가 있음을 확인하였다. 온도 차이에 따른 실험 결과에서, lager 효모의 경우에는 발효 온도가 높은 것이 발효율이 더 높아 발효 시간을 줄일 수 있는 장점은 있으나, 많은 양의 황화수소가 발생되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 APL은 $15^{\circ}C$에서 발효시켰을 때, 발효 끝 부분에서 많은 양의 황화수소가 발생되었는데, 이것은 맥주에 좋지 않은 냄새의 원인이 되므로 장시간의 숙성기간을 필요로 한다는 것을 의미한다. EA의 경우에는 낮은 온도에서 오히려 더 많은 양의 황화수소가 생성이 되었으나, HA의 경우에는 lager 효모에서와 같이 높은 온도에서 더 많은 양의 황화수소가 생성되었는데, 이는 각 효모마다 $H_2S$를 생성하기에 적합한 온도가 있음을 의미한다.

Anaerobic fermentation using Clostridium butyricum NCIB 9576, and photo-fermentation using Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides E15-1 were studied for the production of hydrogen from Makkoli, fruits (orange & apple, watermelon & melon) and Tofu wastewaters. From the Makkoli wastewater, which contained $0.94g/{\ell}$ sugars and $2.74g/{\ell}$ soluble starch, approximately $49mM\;H_2/{\ell}$ wastewater was produced during the initial 18h of the anaerobic fermentation with pH control between 6.5-7.0. Several organic acids such as butyric acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, lactic acid and ethanol were also produced. From Watemlelon and melon wastewater, which contained $43g/{\ell}$ sugars, generated about approximately $71mM\;H_2/{\ell}$ wastewater was produced during the initial 24 h of the anaerobic fermentation. Tofu wastewater, pH 6.5, containing $12.6g/{\ell}$ soluble starch and $0.74g/{\ell}$ sugars, generated about $30mM\;H_2/{\ell}$ wastewater, along with some organic acids, during the initial 24 h of anaerobic fermentation. Makkoli and Tofu wastewaters as substrates for the photo-fermentation by Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides E15-1 produced approximately 37.9 and $22.2{\mu}M\;H_2/m{\ell}$ wastewaters, respectively for 9 days of incubation under the average of 9,000-10,000 lux illumination at the surface of reactor using tungsten halogen lamps. Orange and apple wastewater, which contained 93.4 g/l, produced approximately $13.1{\mu}M\;H_2/m{\ell}$ wastewater only for 2 days of photo-fermentation and the growth of Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides E15-1 and hydrogen production were stopped.

In the present work, it was attempted to produce $H_2$ from food waste by the two-stage fermentation system. Food waste was acidified to lactate by using indigenous lactic acid bacteria under mesophilic condition, and the lactate fermentation effluent (LFE) was subsequently converted to $H_2$ by photo-fermentation. $Rhodobacter$ $sphaeroides$ KD131 was used as the photo-fermenting bacteria. The optimal conditions for lactate fermentation were found to be pH of 5.5 and substrate concentration of 30 g Carbo. COD/L, under which yielded 1.6 mol lactate/mol glucose. By filtering the LFE and adding trace metal, $H_2$ production increased by more than three times compared to using raw LFE, and finally reached the $H_2$ yield of 3.6 mol $H_2$/mol lactate. Via the developed two-stage fermentation system $H_2$ yield of 5.8 mol $H_2$/mol glucose was achieved from food waste, whose value was the highest that ever recorded.

벌꿀 발효주의 발효 특성을 조사하였다. 벌꿀 희석액의 알코을 발효에는 Saccharomyces bayanus가 저온에서 발효력이 우수하였고 알코올 생성도 많았다. 벌꿀 발효주의 생산 최적조건은 pH 4.0, $20^{\circ}C$이었으며, 최적 발효액의 당도는 $24{\sim}27^{\circ}Brix$이었다. 벌꿀 희석액은 발효시 pH와 산도의 변화는 적었으나 과실 삼투압 추출액에서는 산도의 저하가 심하였다. 발효중 환원당은 점진적으로 감소하고 알코올은 증가하여 발효 종료후 가용성 고형분은 $8.5{\sim}9.1^{\circ}Brix$로 저하 하였으며 잔류환원당은 $1.90{\sim}2.32%$, 발효율은 $90{\sim}92%$이었다. 21일 발효후 알코올은 잡화꿀에서 13.3%, 아카시아 꿀에서 13.7%로 아카시아 꿀이 알코올 생성이 높았으나 벌꿀 종류에 따른 차이는 적었다. 과실의 벌꿀삼투압 추출액은 13일 발효 후 pH는 $2.92{\sim}2.97$로 급격히 저하하였으나 산도는 벌꿀 감귤주에서 0.30%로 벌꿀 매실주 0.53%에 비하여 적었다. 발효 후 잔류 환원당은 $2.03{\sim}2.87%$이었고 알코올생성은 벌꿀 감귤주가 13.1%로 벌꿀 매실주의 12.5% 보다 높았으며 발효도 벌꿀주에 비하여 양호하여 벌꿀 과실추출액이 벌꿀 희석액보다 벌꿀발효주 제조에 유리하였다.

메주를 만들 때 저온숙성의 경우 상온숙성보다 발효 특성과 관련이 있는 pH, 아미노산성 질소 등의 양이 낮았으며 동일한 아미노태 질소 함량에 도달하기까지 숙성기간이 약 2~3배정도 필요한 것으로 나타났고, 된장의 색상이 약 2배정도 밝은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 숙성초기 낮은 온도로 인해 산성생균의 활동성이 낮아지고 이로 인한 유기산 생성량이 낮아져 상온숙성 된장에 비해 pH가 높고, acidity I이 낮으며, 저온숙성된장은 가수분해 효소에 의한 분해속도의 저하로 낮은 아미노산성 질소 함량을 보였다.

To enhance the hyperproductive and low energy-consuming ethanol fermentation rate, the thermotolerant yeast S. cerevisiae RA-74-2 cells were immobilized. An efficient immobilization condition was proved to be $1.5{\%}$ (w/v) alginate solution, neutral pH and 20 h activation of beads. The fermentation characteristics and stability at various temperatures were examined as compared with free S. cerevisiae RA-74-2 cells. The immobilized cells had excellent fermentation rate at the range of pH 3-7 at 30-$42^{\circ}C$ in 15-$20{\%}$ glucose media. When the seed volume was adjusted to 0.12 (v/v) (6ml bead/50 ml medium), $11{\%}$ (w/v) ethanol was produced during the first 34 hand $12.15{\%}$ (w/v) ethanol [$95{\%}$ (w/v) of theoretical yield] during the first 60 h in $25{\%}$ glucose medium. In repetitive fermentation using a 2 litre fermentor, 5.79-$7.27{\%}$ (w/v) ethanol [76-$95{\%}$ (w/v) of theoretical yield] was produced during the 40-55 h in $15{\%}$ glucose media. These data suggested the fact that alginate beads of thermotolerant S. cerevisiae RA-74-2 cells would contribute to economic and hyperproductive ethanol fermentation at high temperature.
