Green Car Congress: Researchers discover two novel algal strains that can produce hydrogen under aerobic conditions
Eukaryotic algae and cyanobacteria can produce hydrogen under anaerobic and limited aerobic conditions. Now, a research team from South Korea and the US reports finding two novel microalgal strains (Chlorella vulgaris YSL01 and YSL16) that can produce hydrogen via photosynthesis using CO2 as the sole source of carbon under aerobic conditions with continuous illumination.
A paper on their discovery is published in the journal Nature Communications.
