ABSTRACT
Over the years, extensive research has gone into fermentative hydrogen production using pure and mixed cultures from waste biomass with promising results. However, for up-scaling of hydrogen production mixed cultures are more appropriate to overcome the operational difficulties such as a metabolic shift in response to environmental stress, and the need for a sterile environment. Mixed culture biotechnology (MCB) is a robust and stable alternative with efficient waste and wastewater treatment capacity along with co-generation of biohydrogen and platform chemicals. Mixed culture being a diverse group of bacteria with complex metabolic functions would offer a better response to the environmental variations encountered during biohydrogen production. The development of defined mixed cultures with desired functions would help to understand the microbial community dynamics and the keystone species for improved hydrogen production. This review aims to offer an overview of the application of MCB for biohydrogen production.
