It was demonstrated that immobilized, sulfur-deprived algal cultures can photoproduce H2. After identifying the optimal material and procedures for immobilization of Chlamyodomonas reinhardtii at high cell density, we examined the effect of liquid mixing, sulfate content, acetate levels and light intensity on the H2-production activity of the culture. Our results indicate that (a) liquid mixing is important to provide homogeneous conditions for the immobilized culture; (b) sulfur deprivation is necessary for hydrogen production by immobilized cultures; and (c) high light intensity decreases H2production. The maximum total volume of H2produced by the system (160 mlof reactor volume) was 380ml over 23 days, and the highest rate of H2production observed was 45mlday-1. Cell immobilization significantly increased the duration of the H2-photoproduction phase (up to 4 weeks), maintained specific rates of H2photoproduction similar to those of suspension cultures and showed potential for large increases in H2production.
