The performance of this photosynthetic microorganism for producing H<sub>2</sub> was evaluated for the first time under specific experimental conditions (e.g., a biomass concentration of 0.34 ± 0.02 g, a light intensity of 150 μE.s<sup>-1</sup>.m<sup>-2</sup> and reaction times of 19.3 ± 1.2 h). The performance of this photosynthetic microorganism for producing hydrogen was successfully improved by the addition of sodium dithionite (a reducing agent) as an innovative method for increasing the gas production, and as a main contribution of this work. Quantitative gas chromatography (GC) analyses of H<sub>2</sub> to verify the production performance were successfully carried out at low concentration levels. GC analyses were performed by means of a conventional thermal conductivity detector coupled to a separation system of a Molecular Sieve column 500 mm × 3175 mm (L × ID). Low detection limits were consistently obtained with the GC system used. The separation of H<sub>2</sub> in culture samples was efficiently achieved in average retention times of 1.47 min. The H<sub>2</sub> produced in this process was subsequently used for power generation using a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC).展开更多
