Ergal et al. report that biohydrogen production from glucose by an engineered microbial consortium of Clostridium acetobutylicum and Enterobacter aerogenes can be 40% higher than the “Thauer limit”. They further show that the volumetric H2 production rates of their system are superior compared to any mono-, co- or multi-culture system reported to date.
