5.  Improvements brought by the project

 

This project is a timely initiative to improve the knowledge and processes involved in the microbiological production of hydrogen

  

On the basis of the expertise of the different partners, we expect to :

  • Decifer the interactions of hydrogen evolution within the algal metabolism at the cellular level

  • Obtain new microalgal strains with improved hydrogen photoproduction

  • Obtain new bacterial consortia with improved hydrogen and organic by-products production

  • Design new bioreactors for dark-fermentation by bacteria and using waste

  • Develop a molecular toolbox for the diagnostics of functioning of bioreactors with mixed bacterial populations
