ABSTRACT:
Useful products such as molecular hydrogen can be continuously produced by reacting a solution of a substrate in the presence of light with a photometabolically active microbe which has been stabilized on a support. In one embodiment, Rhodospirillium rubrum bacterial cells are mixed with agar gel and the mixture is spread over a plate which is placed in a transparent flow-through reactor. Then, an aqueous malate solution is passed through the reactor under essentially anaerobic conditions in the presence of light to yield molecular hydrogen. In another embodiment, Blue-Green algae are similarly stabilized for continuous biophotolysis of water by oxidizing the water and reducing NADP to NADPH. Other photosystems for producing useful products are disclosed.
