Harnessing of bioenergy from different mixed microalgae consortia obtained from natural ecological niches

This study, has revealed that, after 40 days of cultivation, collected wet biomass is directly used for H2 and CH4 fermentation and the results indicated that, consortia OP1 is good for H2 production whereas consortia OP2 and LB showed nearly the similar CH4 production performances. Peak hydrogen production rate (HPR) and methane production rate (MPR) were achieved as 289 mL/L-d and 97 mL/L-d, respectively from consortia OP1 and OP2.
