Abstract
Biohydrogen is considered a green fuel due to its eco-friendly nature since it only produces water and energy on combustion. However, their lower yield and production rate is one of the foremost challenges that need an instant sustainable approach. The use of nanotechnology is a potential approach for the enhanced generation of biohydrogen, owing to the significant characteristics of the nanomaterials such as greater specificity, high surface-area-to-volume ratio, better reactivity and dispersibility, enhanced catalytic activity, superb selectivity, greater electron transfer, and better anaerobic microbiota activity. This article explores the recent trends and innovations in the production of biohydrogen from wastewater through the applications of different nanomaterials. The potential of various nanomaterials employed for biohydrogen production from wastewater is evaluated and the impacts of important parameters such as the concentration and size of the nanomaterials, temperature, and pH on the production and yield of biohydrogen are explained in detail. Several pathways involved in the mechanistic approach of biohydrogen generation from wastewater are critically assessed. Lastly, numerous technological challenges are highlighted and recommendations regarding future research are also provided.

Abstract
An alternative to improve the production of biorefinery products, such as biohydrogen (H2) and volatile fatty acids (VFA), is the combination of nanotechnology and biological processes. In order to compare the use of both processes in two different reactor configurations, batch reactors and continuous anaerobic fluidized bed reactors (AFBR) were studied under the same conditions (37°C, pH 6.8, Clostridium butyricum as an inoculum and glucose as a substrate) to evaluate the influence of zero valence iron and nickel nanoparticles (NPs) on H2 and VFA production. There was a shift in the production of acetic and butyric acids to produce mainly valeric acid when NPs were added in batch reactors. Meanwhile, in AFBR the change was from lactic acid to butyric and acetic acids with the addition of NPs. It showed that the effect of NPs on the fermentation process was different when the configuration of batch and continuous reactors was compared. The H2 yield in both reactor configurations increased with the addition of NPs. In batch reactors from 6.6 to 8.0 mmol H2 g-1 of COD and in AFBR from 4.9 to 6.2 mmol of H2 g-1 of COD. Therefore, given the simplicity and low cost of the synthesis of metallic NPs, it is a promising additive to optimize the fermentation process in different reactor configurations.

Abstract
Depleting fossil fuels and net carbon emissions associated with their burning have driven the need to find alternative energy sources. Biofuels are near-perfect candidates for alternative energy sources as they are renewable and account for no net CO2 emissions. However, biofuel production must overcome various challenges to compete with conventional fuels. Conventional methods for bioconversion of biomass to biofuel include chemical, thermochemical, and biological processes. Substrate selection and processing, low yield, and total cost of production are some of the main issues associated with biofuel generation. Recently, the uses of nanotechnology and nanoparticles have been explored to improve the biofuel production processes because of their high adsorption, high reactivity, and catalytic properties. The role of these nanoscale particles and nanocatalysts in biomass conversion and their effect on biofuel production processes and yield are discussed in the present article. The applicability of nanotechnology in production processes of biobutanol, bioethanol, biodiesel, biohydrogen, and biogas under biorefinery approach are presented. Different types of nanoparticles, and their function in the bioprocess, such as electron transfer, pretreatment, hydrolysis, microalgae cultivation, lipid extraction, dark and photo fermentation, immobilization, and suppression of inhibitory compounds, are also highlighted. Finally, the current and potential applications of nanotechnology in biorefineries are also discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hydrogen is a promising source of alternative energy. Fermentative production is more feasible because of its high hydrogen generation rate, simple operating conditions, and utilization of various organic wastes as substrates. The most significant constraint for biohydrogen production is supplying it at a low cost with fewer impurities. RESULTS Leaf biomass of Calotropis procera was used as a feedstock for a dark fermentative production of hydrogen by Bacillus coagulans AH1 (MN923076). The optimum operation conditions for biohydrogen production were 5.0% substrate concentrationand pH 9.0, at 35 °C. In which the biohydrogen yield was 3.231 mmol H2/g dry biomass without any pretreatments of the biomass. A freshwater microalga Oscillatroia sp was used for upgrading of the produced biohydrogen. It sequestrated 97 and 99% % of CO2 from the gas mixture when it was cultivated in BG11 and BG11-N media, respectively After upgrading process, the residual microalgal cells exhibited 0.21mg/mL of biomass yield,high content of chlorophyll-a (4.8 µg/mL) and carotenoid (11.1 µg/mL). In addition to Oscillatroia sp residual biomass showed a lipid yield (7.5-8.7%) on the tested media. CONCLUSION Bacillus coagulans AH1 is a promising tool for biohydrogen production avoiding the drawbacks of biomass pretreatment. Oscillatroia sp is encouraged as a potent tool for upgrading and purification of biohydrogen. These findings led to the development of a multiproduct biorefinery with zero waste that is more economically sustainable.

Abstract
Hydrogenases are microbial metalloenzymes capable of catalyzing the reversible interconversion between molecular hydrogen and protons with high efficiency, and have great potential in the development of new electrocatalysts for renewable fuel production. Here, we engineered the intact proteinaceous shell of the carboxysome, a self-assembling protein organelle for CO2 fixation in cyanobacteria and proteobacteria, and sequestered heterologously produced [NiFe]-hydrogenases into the carboxysome shell. The protein-based hybrid catalyst produced in E. coli shows substantially improved hydrogen production under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions and enhanced material and functional robustness, compared to unencapsulated [NiFe]-hydrogenases. The catalytically functional nanoreactor as well as the self-assembling and encapsulation strategies provide a framework for engineering new bioinspired electrocatalysts to improve the sustainable production of fuels and chemicals in biotechnological and chemical applications.

Synergistic effects of paper mill sludge and sulfonated graphene catalyst for maximizing bio-hydrogen harvesting from sugarcane bagasse de-polymerization. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 326:116724. [PMID: 36372032 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2022.116724] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2022] [Revised: 11/04/2022] [Accepted: 11/04/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
In this study, hydrogen harvesting from fermentation of sugarcane bagasse (SCB) was promoted by maintaining synergism between sulfonated graphene (SGR) catalyst and paper mill sludge (PMS). The sulfonic acid (-SO3H) groups in the catalyst played a major role in destructing the β-1,4 glycosidic bonds of sugarcane bagasse, releasing readily biodegradable sugars into the fermentation medium. The cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin conversion efficiency were improved by 127.5%, 495.0%, and 109.2%, respectively with 20 mgSGR/gVS catalyst addition, compared with the control samples. These values were also higher than those obtained by non-sulfonated graphene catalyst. The hydrogenation of sugarcane bagasse was maximized at a sulfonated graphene catalyst dosage of 60 mgSGR/gVS, providing the highest hydrogen harvesting of 4104 ± 321 mL. This was associated with an increase of the Proteobacteria phyla up to 52.0%, Firmicutes phyla to 13.9%, and Acinetobacter sp. to 39.8% compared with only 37.0%, 11.3% and 11.1% in the control assay respectively. Moreover, sulfonated graphene catalyst supplementation promoted the acetate fermentation reaction pathway by increasing the acetate/butyrate ratio up to 4.1. Nevertheless, elevating the catalyst dosage up to 120 mgSGR/gVS reduced the hydrogen harvesting (1190 ± 92 mL) due to the release of furfural (1.76 ± 0.02 g/L) in the fermentation cultures, deteriorating the microbes' internal composition and metabolism bioactivities. Finally maximizing the hydrogen productivity from sugarcane bagasse is feasible by incorporation of paper mill sludge and sulfonated graphene catalyst at dosage not exceeding 60 mgSGR/gVS. However, investigating the recyclability and disposal of digestate containing sulfonated graphene catalyst and the associated economic feasibility needs more attention in the future.

Abstract
The positive effects of metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) on dark fermentation (DF) for biohydrogen synthesis have been increased, and the mechanism still needs to be further revealed. In this study, nickel-cobalt oxide (NiCo2O4) NPs were prepared to increase H2 yield via DF. The highest (259.67 mL/g glucose) and the lowest (188.14 mL/g glucose) yields were achieved at 400 and 800 mg/L NiCo2O4 NPs added, respectively, with their corresponding 33.97% increase and 2.93% decrease compared with the control yield (193.82 mL/g glucose). Meanwhile, the microbial community further confirmed that NiCo2O4 NPs increased the abundance of the dominant H2-producing Clostridium sensu stricto 1 by 23.05%. The gene prediction also showed that NiCo2O4 NPs increased the abundance of genes encoding the rate-limiting enzyme pyruvate kinase in glycolysis, thus increasing the substrate conversion. Moreover, the gene abundance of key enzymes directly related to H2 evolution was also increased at different levels.

Abstract
The issue of global warming calls for a greener energy production approach. To this end, bioenergy has significant greenhouse gas mitigation potential, since it makes use of biological products/wastes and can efficiently counter carbon dioxide emission. However, technologies for biomass processing remain limited due to the structure of biomass and difficulties such as high processing cost, development of harmful inhibitors and detoxification of produced inhibitors that hinder widespread usage. Additionally, cellulose pre-treatment is often required to be amenable for an enzymatic hydrolysis process. Nanotechnology (usage of nanomaterials, in this case) has been employed in recent years to improve bioenergy generation, especially in terms of catalyst and feedstock modification. This review starts with introducing the potential nanomaterials in bioenergy generation such as carbon nanotubes, metal oxides, silica and other novel materials. The role of nanotechnology to assist in bioenergy generation is discussed, particularly from the aspects of enzyme immobilization, biogas production and biohydrogen production. Future applications using nanotechnology to assist in bioenergy generation are also prospected.

Abstract
This review mainly determines novel and advance physical, chemical, physico-chemical, microbiological and nanotechnology-based pretreatment techniques in lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment for bio-H2 production. Further, aim of this review is to gain the knowledge on the lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment and its priority on the efficacy of bio-H2 and positive findings. The influence of various pretreatment techniques on the structure of lignocellulosic biomass have presented with the pros and cons, especially about the cellulose digestibility and the interference by generation of inhibitory compounds in the bio-enzymatic technique as such compounds is toxic. The result implies that the stepwise pretreatment technique only can ensure eventually the lignocellulosic biomass materials fermentation to yield bio-H2. Though, the mentioned pretreatment steps are still a challenge to procure cost-effective large-scale conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars along with low inhibitory concentration.

Abstract
In the scenario of alarming increase in greenhouse and toxic gas emissions from the burning of conventional fuels, it is high time that the population drifts towards alternative fuel usage to obviate pollution. Hydrogen is an environment-friendly biofuel with high energy content. Several production methods exist to produce hydrogen, but the least energy intensive processes are the fermentative biohydrogen techniques. Dark fermentative biohydrogen production (DFBHP) is a value-added, less energy-consuming process to generate biohydrogen. In this process, biohydrogen can be produced from sugars as well as complex substrates that are generally considered as organic waste. Yet, the process is constrained by many factors such as low hydrogen yield, incomplete conversion of substrates, accumulation of volatile fatty acids which lead to the drop of the system pH resulting in hindered growth and hydrogen production by the bacteria. To circumvent these drawbacks, researchers have come up with several strategies that improve the yield of DFBHP process. These strategies can be classified as preliminary methodologies concerned with the process optimization and the latter that deals with pretreatment of substrate and seed sludge, bioaugmentation, co-culture of bacteria, supplementation of additives, bioreactor design considerations, metabolic engineering, nanotechnology, immobilization of bacteria, etc. This review sums up some of the improvement techniques that profoundly enhance the biohydrogen productivity in a DFBHP process.

Abstract
As a clean energy carrier, hydrogen is a promising alternative to fossil fuel so as the global growing energy demand can be met. Currently, producing hydrogen from biowastes through fermentation has attracted much attention due to its multiple advantages of biowastes management and valuable energy generation. Nevertheless, conventional dark fermentation (DF) processes are still hindered by the low biohydrogen yields and challenges of biohydrogen purification, which limit their commercialization. In recent years, researchers have focused on various advanced strategies for enhancing biohydrogen yields, such as screening of super hydrogen-producing bacteria, genetic engineering, cell immobilization, nanomaterials utilization, bioreactors modification, and combination of different processes. This paper critically reviews by discussing the above stated technologies employed in DF, respectively, to improve biohydrogen generation and stating challenges and future perspectives on biowaste-based biohydrogen production.

Abstract
The need to develop sustainable alternatives for pretreatment and hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is a massive concern in the industrial sector today. Breaking down of LCB yields sugars and fuel in the bulk scale. If explored under nanotechnology, LCB can be refined to yield high-performance fuel sources. The toxicity and cost of conventional methods can be reduced by applying nanoparticles (NPs) in refining LCB. Immobilization of enzymes onto NPs or used in conjugation with nanomaterials would instill specific and eco-friendly options for hydrolyzing LCB. Nanomaterials increase the proficiency, reusability, and stability of enzymes. Notably, magnetic NPs have bagged their place in the downstream processing of LCB effluents due to their efficient separation and cost-effectiveness. The current review highlights the role of nanotechnology and its particles in refining LCB into various commercial precursors and value-added products. The relationship between nanotechnology and LCB refinery is portrayed effectively in the present study.

Abstract
Two various materials, copper and aluminum doped cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (NPs) were fabricated for investigating their effects of addition amounts on hydrogen (H2) synthesis and process stability. CoCu0.2Fe1.8O4NPs enhanced H2 production more than CoAl0.2Fe1.8O4 NPs under same condition. The highest H2 yield of 212.25 ml/g glucose was found at optimal dosage of 300 mg/L CoCu0.2Fe1.8O4 NPs, revealing the increases of 43.17% and 6.67% compared with the control without NPs and 300 mg/L CoAl0.2Fe1.8O4 NPs groups, respectively. NPs level of more than 400 mg/L inhibited H2 generation. Further investigations illustrated that CoCu0.2Fe1.8O4 NPs were mainly distributed on extracellular polymer substance while CoAl0.2Fe1.8O4 NPs were mostly enriched on cell membrane, which facilitated electron transfer behavior. Community structure composition demonstrated that CoCu0.2Fe1.8O4 and CoAl0.2Fe1.8O4 separately caused a 9.67% and 9.03% increase in Clostridium sensu stricto 1 compared with the control reactor without NPs exposure.

Abstract
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a biochemical process that converts waste organic matter into energy-rich biogas with methane as the main component. Addition of electric electro-conductive, such as that nanoparticles (NP), has been shown to improve biogas generation. Interspecies electron transfer and direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) using conductive materials is one of the mechanisms responsible for observed increases in CH4. This article discusses the effect of the type and size of electro-conductive NPs on improving microbial degradation within AD systems, as well as the effect of electro-conductive NPs on microbial community shifts and syntrophic metabolism. Limitations and future perspectives of using NPs in an AD system is also discussed.

Abstract
In biomass to biofuels production technology enzyme plays a key role. Nevertheless, the high production cost of cellulase enzyme is one of the critical issues in the economical production of biofuels. Nowadays, implementation of nanomaterials as catalyst is emerging as an innovative approach for the production of sustainable energy. In this context, synthesis of nickel cobaltite nanoparticles (NiCo2O4 NPs) via in vitro route has been conducted using fungus Emericella variecolor NS3 meanwhile; its impact has been evaluated on improved thermal and pH stability of crude cellulase enzyme obtained from Emericella variecolor NS3. Additionally, bioconversion of alkali treated rice straw using NiCo2O4 NPs stabilized cellulase produced sugar hydrolyzate which is further used for H2 production via hybrid fermentation. Total 51.7 g/L sugar hydrolyzate produced 2978 mL/L cumulative H2 production after 336 h along with maximum rate 34.12 mL/L/h in 24 h using Bacillus subtilis PF_1 and Rhodobacter sp. employed for dark and photo-fermentation, respectively.

Abstract
Biohydrogen is a clean and renewable source of energy. It can be produced by using technologies such as thermochemical, electrolysis, photoelectrochemical and biological, etc. Among these technologies, the biological method (dark fermentation) is considered more sustainable and ecofriendly. Dark fermentation involves anaerobic microbes which degrade carbohydrate rich substrate and produce hydrogen. Lignocellulosic biomass is an abundantly available raw material and can be utilized as an economic and renewable substrate for biohydrogen production. Although there are many hurdles, continuous advancements in lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment technology, microbial fermentation (mixed substrate and co-culture fermentation), the involvement of molecular biology techniques, and understanding of various factors (pH, T, addition of nanomaterials) effect on biohydrogen productivity and yield render this technology efficient and capable to meet future energy demands. Further integration of biohydrogen production technology with other products such as bio-alcohol, volatile fatty acids (VFAs), and methane have the potential to improve the efficiency and economics of the overall process. In this article, various methods used for lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment, technologies in trends to produce and improve biohydrogen production, a coproduction of other energy resources, and techno-economic analysis of biohydrogen production from lignocellulosic biomass are reviewed.

Abstract
A biological photoinduced fermentation process provides an alternative to traditional hydrogen productions. In this study, biohydrogen production was investigated at near IR region coupled to a near-field enhancement by silica-core gold-shell nanoparticles (NPs) over a range of acetate concentrations (5-40 mM) and light intensities (11-160 W/m2). The kinetic data were modeled using modified Monod equations containing light intensity effects. The yields of H2 and CO2 produced per acetate were determined as 2.31 mol-H2/mol-Ac and 0.83 mol-CO2/mol-Ac and increased to 4.38 mmol-H2/mmol-Ma and 2.62 mmol-CO2/mmol-Ma when malate was used. Maximum increases in H2 and CO2 productions by 115% and 113% were observed by adding NPs without affecting the bacterial growth rates (6.1-8.2 mg-DCM/L/hour) while the highest hydrogen production rate was determined as 0.81 mmol/L/hour. Model simulations showed that the energy conversion efficiency increased with NPs concentration but decreased with the intensity. Complete hydrogenation application was demonstrated with toxic 2-chlorobiphenyl using Pd catalysts.

Abstract
Utilizing light energy for hydrogen production by combining nano-bio inspired photosynthetic system has received remarkable attention in renewable energy production. In this study, we applied a sodium alginate encapsulation strategy to our previously developed nano-bio hybrid system for photocatalytic hydrogen production under aerobic condition by combining the inorganic semiconductor titanium dioxide (TiO2), electron mediator methylviologen (MV2+), along with E. coli (hydrogenases) in an encapsulated system under the given light intensity of 2000 W m-2 and its hydrogen production efficiency was studied. Under aerobic condition the encapsulated hybrid system produced hydrogen (2.4 mmol H2/ mmol glucose) 3-fold higher than the unencapsulated hybrid system (0.8 mmol H2/ mmol glucose), suggesting that encapsulation is essential to protect oxygen sensitive hydrogenase under aerobic condition. The encapsulated hybrid system was also feasible under direct sunlight for hydrogen production. Overall, this study could serve as a new strategy for biological hydrogen production under aerobic condition.

Abstract
The conversion of lignocellulosic biomass (LB) to sugar is an intricate process which is the costliest part of the biomass conversion process. Even though acid/enzyme catalysts are usually being used for LB hydrolysis, enzyme immobilization has been recognized as a potential strategy nowadays. The use of nanobiocatalysts increases hydrolytic efficiency and enzyme stability. Furthermore, biocatalyst/enzyme immobilization on magnetic nanoparticles enables easy recovery and reuse of enzymes. Hence, the exploitation of nanobiocatalysts for LB to biofuel conversion will aid in developing a lucrative and sustainable approach. With this perspective, the effects of nanobiocatalysts on LB to biofuel production were reviewed here. Several traits, such as switching the chemical processes using nanomaterials, enzyme immobilization on nanoparticles for higher reaction rates, recycling ability and toxicity effects on microbial cells, were highlighted in this review. Current developments and viability of nanobiocatalysts as a promising option for enhanced LB conversion into the biofuel process were also emphasized. Mostly, this would help in emerging eco-friendly, proficient, and cost-effective biofuel technology.

Abstract
Recalcitrant compounds degrading novel bacteria was isolated from lab scale hybrid UASB reactor treating distillery spent wash, enriched with biomass activity. The granules were subjected to SEM analysis to classify and isolate the bacterial strains. The strain was ubiquitous, mesophilic, gram-negative, motile, non-spore forming and cultivable optimally at 30°C at pH 7.

[PMID: 31014935 DOI: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2019.04.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2018] [Revised: 04/04/2019] [Accepted: 04/16/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
The insights of nanotechnology for cellulosic biohydrogen production through dark fermentation are reviewed. Lignocellulosic biomass to sugar generation is a complex process and covers the most expensive part of cellulose to sugar production technology. In this context, the impacts of nanomaterial on lignocellulosic biomass to biohydrogen production process have been reviewed. In addition, the feasibility of nanomaterials for implementation in each step of the cellulosic biohydrogen production is discussed for economic viability of the process. Numerous aspects such as possible replacement of chemical pretreatment method using nanostructured materials, use of immobilized enzyme for a fast rate of reaction and its reusability along with long viability of microbial cells and hydrogenase enzyme for improving the productivity are the highlights of this review. It is found that various types of nanostructured materials e.g. metallic nanoparticles (Fe°, Ni, Cu, Au, Pd, Au), metal oxide nanoparticles (Fe2O3, F3O4, NiCo2O4, CuO, NiO, CoO, ZnO), nanocomposites (Si@CoFe2O4, Fe3O4/alginate) and graphene-based nanomaterials can influence different parameters of the process and therefore may perhaps be utilized for cellulosic biohydrogen production. The emphasis has been given on the cost issue and synthesis sustainability of nanomaterials for making the biohydrogen technology cost effective. Finally, recent advancements and feasibility of nanomaterials as the potential solution for improved cellulose conversion to the biohydrogen production process have been discussed, and this is likely to assist in developing an efficient, economical and sustainable biohydrogen production technology.

Abstract
The present study assessed the efficiency of utilizing mixed culture bacteria (MCB) incorporated with individual nanoparticles (NPs), i.e., hematite (α-Fe2O3), nickel oxide (NiO), and zinc oxide (ZnO), dual NPs (α-Fe2O3 + NiO, α-Fe2O3 + ZnO, and NiO + ZnO), and multi-NPs (α-Fe2O3 + NiO + ZnO) for hydrogen production (HP) from industrial wastewater containing mono-ethylene glycol (MEG). When MCB was individually supplemented with α-Fe2O3 (200 mg/L), NiO (20 mg/L), and ZnO NPs (10 mg/L), HP improved significantly by 41, 30, and 29%, respectively. Further, key enzymes associated with MEG metabolism, such as alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), and hydrogenase (hyd), were rapidly and substantially enhanced in the medium. NiO and ZnO NPs notably promoted ADH and ALDH activities, respectively, while α-Fe2O3 exhibited superior impact on hyd activity. Maximum hydrogen production rate was concomitant with higher acetic acid production and lower residual acetaldehyde and ethanol. HP using MCB supplemented with individual NiO (20 mg/L) and ZnO NPs (10 mg/L) further improved by 8.0%-14% when dual and multi-NPs were used; the highest HP was recorded when multi-NPs were used. In addition, NPs incorporation resulted in substantial increase in the relative abundance of Clostridiales (belonging to family Clostridiaceae; > 83%). Overall, this study provides significant insights into the impact of NPs on hydrogen production from MEG-contaminated wastewater.

Seed Pretreatment for Increased Hydrogen Production Using Mixed-Culture Systems with Advantages over Pure-Culture Systems. ENERGIES 2019.

Abstract
Hydrogen is an important source of energy and is considered as the future energy carrier post-petroleum era. Nowadays hydrogen production through various methods is being explored and developed to minimize the production costs. Biological hydrogen production has remained an attractive option, highly economical despite low yields. The mixed-culture systems use undefined microbial consortia unlike pure-cultures that use defined microbial species for hydrogen production. This review summarizes mixed-culture system pretreatments such as heat, chemical (acid, alkali), microwave, ultrasound, aeration, and electric current, amongst others, and their combinations to improve the hydrogen yields. The literature representation of pretreatments in mixed-culture systems is as follows: 45–50% heat-treatment, 15–20% chemical, 5–10% microwave, 10–15% combined and 10–15% other treatment. In comparison to pure-culture mixed-culture offers several advantages, such as technical feasibility, minimum inoculum steps, minimum media supplements, ease of operation, and the fact it works on a wide spectrum of low-cost easily available organic wastes for valorization in hydrogen production. In comparison to pure-culture, mixed-culture can eliminate media sterilization (4 h), incubation step (18–36 h), media supplements cost ($4–6 for bioconversion of 1 kg crude glycerol (CG)) and around 10–15 Millijoule (MJ) of energy can be decreased for the single run.

[PMID: 30343791 DOI: 10.1016/j.wasman.2018.08.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2018] [Revised: 08/09/2018] [Accepted: 08/12/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
Different types of biomass are being examined for their optimum hydrogen production potentials and actual hydrogen yields in different experimental set-ups and through different chemical synthetic routes. In this review, the observations emanating from research findings on the assessment of hydrogen synthesis kinetics during fermentation and gasification of different types of biomass substrates have been concisely surveyed from selected publications. This review revisits the recent progress reported in biomass-based hydrogen synthesis in the associated disciplines of microbial cell immobilization, bioreactor design and analysis, ultrasound-assisted, microwave-assisted and ionic liquid-assisted biomass pretreatments, development of new microbial strains, integrated production schemes, applications of nanocatalysis, subcritical and supercritical water processing, use of algae-based substrates and lastly inhibitor detoxification. The main observations from this review are that cell immobilization assists in optimizing the biomass fermentation performance by enhancing bead size, providing for adequate cell loading and improving mass transfer; there are novel and more potent bacterial and fungal strains which improve the fermentation process and impact on hydrogen yields positively; application of microwave irradiation and sonication and the use of ionic liquids in biomass pretreatment bring about enhanced delignification, and that supercritical water biomass processing and dosing with metal-based nanoparticles also assist in enhancing the kinetics of hydrogen synthesis. The research areas discussed in this work and their respective impacts on hydrogen synthesis from biomass are arguably standalone. Thence, further work is still required to explore the possibilities and techno-economic implications of combining these areas for developing robust and integrated biomass-to-hydrogen synthetic schemes.

Abstract
Biological hydrogen (H2) production enhancement through the use of nanoparticles (NPs) supplement in the media is being recognized as a promising approach. The NPs, including those of metal and metal oxides have shown a significant improvement in the BHP. A number of organisms as pure or mixed cultures can produce H2 in presence of NPs from pure sugars and biowaste as a feed. However, their H2 production efficiencies have been found to vary significantly with the type of NPs and their concentration. In this review article, the potential role of NPs in the enhancement of H2 production has been assessed in dark- and photo-fermentative organisms using sugars and biowaste materials as feed. Further, the integrative approaches for commercial applications of NPs in BHP have been discussed.

Abstract
The high dependence on fossil fuels has escalated the challenges of greenhouse gas emissions and energy security. Biohydrogen is projected as a future alternative energy as a result of its non-polluting characteristics, high energy content (122 kJ/g), and economic feasibility. However, its industrial production has been hampered by several constraints such as low process yields and the formation of biohydrogen-competing reactions. This necessitates the search for other novel strategies to overcome this problem. Cell immobilization technology has been in existence for many decades and is widely used in various processes such as wastewater treatment, food technology, and pharmaceutical industry. In recent years, this technology has caught the attention of many researchers within the biohydrogen production field owing to its merits such as enhanced process yields, reduced microbial contamination, and improved homogeneity. In addition, the use of immobilization in biohydrogen production prevents washout of microbes, stabilizes the pH of the medium, and extends microbial activity during continuous processes. In this short review, an insight into the potential of cell immobilization is presented. A few immobilization techniques such as entrapment, adsorption, encapsulation, and synthetic polymers are discussed. In addition, the effects of process conditions on the performance of immobilized microbial cells during biohydrogen production are discussed. Finally, the review concludes with suggestions on improvement of cell immobilization technologies in biohydrogen production.

Abstract
Batch dark fermentation experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of initial pH, substrate-to-biomass (S/X) ratio, and concentrations of Fe2+ and magnetite nanoparticles on biohydrogen production from sugarcane bagasse (SCB) hydrolysate. By applying the response surface methodology, the optimum condition of steam-acid hydrolysis was 0.64% (v/v) H2SO4 for 55.7 min, which obtained a sugar yield of 274 mg g-1. The maximum hydrogen yield (HY) of 0.874 mol (mol glucose-1) was detected at the optimum pH of 5.0 and S/X ratio of 0.5 g chemical oxygen demand (COD, g VSS-1). The addition of Fe2+ 200 mg L-1 and magnetite nanoparticles 200 mg L-1 to the inoculum enhanced the HY by 62.1% and 69.6%, respectively. The kinetics of hydrogen production was estimated by fitting the experimental data to the modified Gompertz model. The inhibitory effects of adding Fe2+ and magnetite nanoparticles to the fermentative hydrogen production were examined by applying Andrew's inhibition model. COD mass balance and full stoichiometric reactions, including soluble metabolic products, cell synthesis, and H2 production, indicated the reliability of the experimental results. A qPCR-based analysis was conducted to assess the microbial community structure using Enterobacteriaceae, Clostridium spp., and hydrogenase-specific gene activity. Results from the microbial analysis revealed the dominance of hydrogen producers in the inoculum immobilized on magnetite nanoparticles, followed by the inoculum supplemented with Fe2+ concentration.

Abstract
Ferric oxide nanoparticles (FONPs) were used to facilitate dark hydrogen fermentation using Enterobacter aerogenes. The hydrogen yield of glucose increased from 164.5±2.29 to 192.4±1.14mL/g when FONPs concentration increased from 0 to 200mg/L. SEM images of E. aerogenes demonstrated the existence of bacterial nanowire among cells, suggesting FONPs served as electron conduits to enhance electron transfer. TEM showed cellular internalization of FONPs, indicating hydrogenase synthesis and activity was potentially promoted due to the released iron element. When further increasing FONPs concentration to 400mg/L, the hydrogen yield of glucose decreased to 147.2±2.54mL/g. Soluble metabolic products revealed FONPs enhanced acetate pathway of hydrogen production, but weakened ethanol pathway. This shift of metabolic pathways allowed more nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide for reducing proton to hydrogen.

Abstract
A crude β-glucosidase has been produced from Trichoderma viride and used to explore a simple method to prepare icariside II from icariin. The crude enzyme has been studied by zymography method and used for hydrolysis of ICA. To achieve a high conversion rate of ICA, various factors have been studied including pH, reaction time, temperature, initial concentration of enzyme, and initial concentration of ICA through central composite design experiments. In the condition of the optimum hydrolysis parameters with pH 4.0, 41°C, 1.0 mg/mL ICA, and 9.8 U/mL crude β-glucosidase, the conversion rate of ICA reached 95.03% at 1 h. Moreover, the cytotoxicity test showed that ICA II performed inhibition effects on proliferation of A549 cell, while ICA has no cytotoxicity. It indicated that the hydrolysis transformation study of ICA is valuable for exploration of active new drugs.

Abstract
This study was aimed to isolate soil fungi from Kolli and Yercaud Hills, South India with the ultimate objective of producing antimicrobial nanoparticles. Among 65 fungi tested, the isolate, Bios PTK 6 extracellularly synthesized both silver and gold nanoparticles with good monodispersity. Under optimized reaction conditions, the strain Bios PTK 6 identified as Aspergillus terreus has produced extremely stable nanoparticles within 12h. These nanoparticles were characterized by UV-vis. spectrophotometer, HR-TEM, FTIR, XRD, EDX, SAED, ICP-AES and Zetasizer analyses. A. terreus synthesized 8-20 nm sized, spherical shaped silver nanoparticles whereas gold nanoparticles showed many interesting morphologies with a size of 10-50 nm. The presence and binding of proteins with nanoparticles was confirmed by FTIR study. Interestingly, the myco derived silver nanoparticles exhibited superior antimicrobial activity than the standard antibiotic, streptomycin except against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. The leakage of intracellular components such as protein and nucleic acid demonstrated that silver nanoparticles damage the bacterial cells by formation of pores, which affects membrane permeability and finally leads to cell death. Further, presence of nanoparticles in the bacterial membrane and the breakage of cell wall were also observed using SEM. Thus, the obtained results clearly reveal that these antimicrobial nanoparticles could be explored as promising candidates for a variety of biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biohydrogen production through dark fermentation using organic waste as a substrate has gained increasing attention in recent years, mostly because of the economic advantages of coupling renewable, clean energy production with biological waste treatment. An ideal approach is the use of selected microbial inocula that are able to degrade complex organic substrates with simultaneous biohydrogen generation. Unfortunately, even with a specifically designed starting inoculum, there is still a number of parameters, mostly with regard to the fermentation conditions, that need to be improved in order to achieve a viable, large-scale, and technologically feasible solution. In this study, statistics-based factorial experimental design methods were applied to investigate the impact of various biological, physical, and chemical parameters, as well as the interactions between them on the biohydrogen production rates. RESULTS By developing and applying a central composite experimental design strategy, the effects of the independent variables on biohydrogen production were determined. The initial pH value was shown to have the largest effect on the biohydrogen production process. High-throughput sequencing-based metagenomic assessments of microbial communities revealed a clear shift towards a Clostridium sp.-dominated environment, as the responses of the variables investigated were maximized towards the highest H2-producing potential. Mass spectrometry analysis suggested that the microbial consortium largely followed hydrogen-generating metabolic pathways, with the simultaneous degradation of complex organic compounds, and thus also performed a biological treatment of the beer brewing industry wastewater used as a fermentation substrate. CONCLUSIONS Therefore, we have developed a complex optimization strategy for batch-mode biohydrogen production using a defined microbial consortium as the starting inoculum and beer brewery wastewater as the fermentation substrate. These results have the potential to bring us closer to an optimized, industrial-scale system which will serve the dual purpose of wastewater pre-treatment and concomitant biohydrogen production.

Back propagation neural network modelling of biodegradation and fermentative biohydrogen production using distillery wastewater in a hybrid upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor.

Abstract
In a hybrid upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (HUASB) reactor, biodegradation in association with biohydrogen production was studied using distillery wastewater as substrate. The experiments were carried out at ambient temperature (34±1°C) and acidophilic pH of 6.5 with constant hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 24h at various organic loading rates (OLRs) (1-10.2kgCODm(-3)d(-1)) in continuous mode. A maximum hydrogen production rate of 1300mLd(-1) was achieved. A back propagation neural network (BPNN) model with network topology of 4-20-1 using Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm was developed and validated. A total of 231 data points were studied to examine the performance of the HUASB reactor in acclimatisation and operation phase. The statistical qualities of BPNN models were significant due to the high correlation coefficient, R(2), and lower mean absolute error (MAE) between experimental and simulated data. From the results, it was concluded that BPNN modelling could be applied in HUASB reactor for predicting the biodegradation and biohydrogen production using distillery wastewater.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to synthesize gold nanoparticles by Trichoderma viride and Hypocrea lixii. The biosynthesis of the nanoparticles was very rapid and took 10 min at 30 °C when cell-free extract of the T. viride was used, which was similar by H. lixii but at 100 °C. Biomolecules present in cell free extracts of both fungi were capable to synthesize and stabilize the formed particles. Synthesis procedure was very quick and environment friendly which did not require subsequent processing. The biosynthesized nanoparticles served as an efficient biocatalyst which reduced 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol in the presence of NaBH₄ and had antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of such rapid biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles within 10 min by Trichoderma having plant growth promoting and plant pathogen control abilities, which served both, as an efficient biocatalyst, and a potent antimicrobial agent.

Abstract
Mangrove sediments host rich assemblages of microorganisms, predominantly mixed bacterial cultures, which can be efficiently used for biohydrogen production through anaerobic dark fermentation. The influence of process parameters such as effect of initial glucose concentration, initial medium pH, and trace metal (Fe2+) concentration was investigated in this study. A maximum hydrogen yield of 2.34, 2.3, and 2.6 mol H2 mol−1 glucose, respectively, was obtained under the following set of optimal conditions: initial substrate concentration—10,000 mg L−1, initial pH—6.0, and ferrous sulphate concentration—100 mg L−1, respectively. The addition of trace metal to the medium (100 mg L−1 FeSO4·7H2O) enhanced the biohydrogen yield from 2.3 mol H2 mol−1 glucose to 2.6 mol H2 mol−1 glucose. Furthermore, the experimental data was subjected to kinetic analysis and the kinetic constants were estimated with the help of well-known kinetic models available in the literature, namely, Monod model, logistic model and Luedeking-Piret model. The model fitting was found to be in good agreement with the experimental observations, for all the models, with regression coefficient values >0.92.
