title: Hydrogen-producing consortium fed molasses
design: Hydrogen production and VFA production was characterized in a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) fed molasses wastewater as feedstock. An inoculum in this study was obtained from the hydrogen-producing seed culture with 48% of hydrogen contents and 7.4L of hydrogen gas volume. The reactor was mixed continuously using magnetic stirrer at 150 rpm. The reactor was fed continuously with the diluted molasses wastewater water at hydraulic retention times (HRT) of 24 hours. The reactor solution samples were collected from the sampling port of the CSTR reactor at influent molasses concentration of 19, 23, 31, and 35 g/L after acclimation of 17 days. Active microbial community was analyzed using rRNA-based massively parallel sequencing technique.
