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
