Outline of Final Research Achievements

Aims of the study are to establishment of 1) continuous culture system and 2) biorefinery of hydrogen producing marine vibrios as biocatalysts. We did succeeded 1) continuous hydrogen production for 70 days with appropriate hydrogen producing rates and yields, 2) alginate-hydrogen conversion using 2 kinds of biocatalysts, and 3) bioprospects of new and rare carotenoid producers and their genome information.
