Abstract:
In the present study, a dark fermentation system inoculated with mixed culture bacteria (MCB) was developed using prepared alkali-based magnetic nanosheets (AMNSs) to facilitate biohydrogen (BioH2) production. The highest BioH2 yields of 232.8 ± 8.5 and 150.3 ± 4.8 mL/g glucose were observed at 100 (mesophilic condition) and 400 (thermophilic condition) mg/L AMNSs groups, which were 65.4% and 43.3%, respectively, above the 0 mg/L AMNSs group. The fermentation pathway revealed that AMNSs enhanced the butyrate-type metabolic pathway and the corresponding nicotinamide adenine dinucleotides (NADH and NAD+) ratio, and hydrogenase activity was enhanced in mesophilic fermentation. The interaction of AMNSs and MCB suggested that AMNSs could assist in electron transfer and that the released metal elements might be responsible for elevated hydrogenase activity. AMNSs also promoted the evolution of the dominant microbial community and altered the content of extracellular polymers, leading to increased production of BioH2.
