Hydrogen Production by the Hyperthermophilic Bacterium Thermotoga Maritima Part II: Modeling and Experimental Approaches for Hydrogen Production.

Thermotoga maritima is a hyperthermophilic bacterium known to produce hydrogen from a large variety of substrates. The aim of the present study is to propose a mathematical model incorporating kinetics of growth, consumption of substrates, product formations, and inhibition by hydrogen in order to predict hydrogen production depending on defined culture conditions.
