Summary:碩士 === 國立高雄第一科技大學 === 環境與安全衛生工程所 === 94 === ABSTRACT In order to find the characteristics of co-culture of hydrogen-producing predominate, Clostridium beijerinckii, Clostridium butyricum, and Bacillus thermoamylovorans were subsequently performed according to a central composite design and a mixture design. Experimental results indicated that co-culture of the C. beijerinckii and C. butyricum could convert waste yeast into hydrogen, and B. themoamylovorans was hard to use the organics converting to hydrogen alone. However, the B.themoamylovorans plays an important role on the enhancement of C. beijerinckii and C. butyricum producing hydrogen. That was because the B.themoamylovorans could stimulate hydrogen-producing potential and specific hydrogen production rate, and shorten the lag of their co-culture. A hydrogen-producing yield of 3.34 (ml H2/g COD added waste yeast) from a 100-ml co-culture experiment could be found when 14.4 ml of C.beijerinckii (6.5 × 106 cuf) was mixed with 14.4 ml of B.thermoamylovorans (9.8 × 106 cuf). In addition, its main by-product of volatile fatty acid was butyric acid.
