Algae as promising feedstocks for fermentative biohydrogen production according to a biorefinery approach: A comprehensive review

Sambusiti, Cecilia; Bellucci, Micol; Zabaniotou, Anastasia - In: Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 44 (2015) C, pp. 20-36

Interest is growing in the production of biohydrogen from algae through dark fermentation, as alternative to fossil fuels. However, one of the limiting steps of biohydrogen production is the conversion of polymeric carbohydrates into monomeric sugars. Thus, physical, chemical and biological...
