Özet

The production of biohydrogen and 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) by Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 was investigated in a biorefinery concept. Waste barley was used as a substrate after acid hydrolysis. The hydrolysate was analyzed in terms of its total simple sugar, organic acid, ammonium, element and total phenol contents. Four different growth media having 5 g/L, 7 g/L, 9 g/L and 11 g/L sugar content were prepared using the waste barley hydrolysate to produce biohydrogen and 5-ALA. The increased sugar concentrations resulted in higher cell density and hydrogen accumulation. Accordingly, the highest cell density (OD660: 1.78) and hydrogen production (0.4 L H-2/L culture) were observed in the 11 g/L sugar-containing medium. A 67.4 mu M 5-ALA was produced upon vitamin B-12 and levulinic acid additions. These results showed that waste barley can be used as a substrate for R. sphaeroides for biohydrogen and 5-ALA production within a biorefinery concept.
