The study of hydrogen production using photosynthetic bacteria rhodospirillum rubrum

Hydrogen has been considered a potential fuel for the future since it is carbon-free and oxidized to water as a combustion product. Photoproduction of hydrogen from synthesis gas has been carried out in a batch culture. Rhodospirillum rubrum, an anaerobic photosynthetic bacterium was used in this re...
