(Fe)-hydrogenases in green algae: photo-fermentation and hydrogen evolution under sulfur deprivation (2002, background): “reinhardtii cells develop a high and long lasting H2-production activity [7].”
Hydrogen production by microalgae (2000, methodology): “Followingup on this suggestion, Melis et al. (2000) used 1-L cultures of sulfur-limited, mixotrophically (acetate and light) grown Chlamydomonas reinhardtiiand observed about 2 mL H2 h 1 L 1 over two days.”
Outdoor cultivation of microalgae for carotenoid production: current state and perspectives (2007, background): “Melis et al. (2000) have tried genetically modified strains of Chlamydomonas for hydrogen production as a biofuel.”
Potential of the micro and macro algae for biofuel production: a brief review. (2013, background): “Besides lipid extraction, some microalgae (blue green) (which produce glycogen instead of starch) can produce biohydrogen under anaerobic conditions (Hankamer et al. 2007; Melis et al. 2000), and their fermentation can also be used for the production of methane.”
Genetic Engineering of Algae for Enhanced Biofuel Production (2010, background): “In 2000, Melis and coworkers described the use of sulfur deprivation (203), which decreases photosynthetic activity, as an effective means of sustaining H2 photoproduction when respiration is able to consume all of the photosynthetic O2 produced by the cells (114).”
H2 production from marine and freshwater species of green algae during sulfur deprivation and considerations for bioreactor design (2008, background): “Bioreactors have been described specifically for this purpose [1,7,8].”
Radiation characteristics of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii CC125 and its truncated chlorophyll antenna transformants tla1, tlaX and tla1-CW+ (2008, background): “The former has been alleviated by reversibly shutting down the O2 production metabolism of the unicellular green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii by sulphur deprivation [13].”
Green alga hydrogen production: progress, challenges and prospects (2002, background): “The two-stage photosynthesis and H2-production protocol has the advantage of generating pure H2 gas [3], thus it may serve as a model for the operation of pilot photobioreactors.”
