Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a green alga that can use light energy to produce hydrogen from water under anaerobic conditions. This work reports the enhancement of hydrogen production by controlling the light intensity in sulfur-deprived anaerobic C. reinhardtii cultures. The overall hydrogen production was dependent on light intensity in the range of 60–200μEm-2s-1. Maximum hydrogen production was obtained at a light intensity of 200μEm-2s-1as a result of the rapid initiation of hydrogen production and the greatest increase of chlorophyll during the initial 24h after sulfur deprivation. However, the hydrogen production was inhibited at an intensity of 300μEm-2s-1of light owing to photosystem II photodamage by excess light. The maximum hydrogen production and the maximum specific production rate of hydrogen were 225mlH2l-1culture and 2.01mlH2g-1cellsh-1, respectively. Thus, hydrogen production by sulfur-deprived C. reinhardtii cultures can be maximized by controlling the light intensity at levels below saturation.
