Download or read book NADH the Biological Hydrogen written by George D. Birkmayer and published by Basic Health Publications, Inc.. This book was released on 2009 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most promising natural substance in our body is NADH, the biological form of hydrogen. It reacts with the oxygen present in every living cell, producing energy and water. The more NADH a cell has available, the more energy it can produce, the better it functions, and the longer the cell-and the entire organism-lives. ATP is the life energy for every cell. If less NADH is present in the cell, less ATP is synthesized. Certain diseases, particularly Alzheimers̲ dementia and Parkinsons̲ disease, are caused by impairment in ATP production. We can increase the ATP content in a cell by supplementing with NADH. Men and women are better protected against health problems the more NADH they have available in their bodies. NADH has numerous functions in the body: it repairs DNA and revitalizes damaged cells, acts as a potent antioxidant, lowers cholesterol and high blood pressure, and boosts the immune system. NADH has proven effective for the following conditions: -Parkinsons̲ disease Depression -Chronic fatigue syndrome Cancer -Alzheimers̲ dementia Strokes Diabetes NADH has therapeutic uses for menopause, obesity, skin problems, jet lag, and sexual dysfunction. Athletes have also found it useful for boosting athletic performance, and it may even help you live a longer and healthier life. Though NADH is present in foods, we take up only marginal amounts from our daily diet. Fortunately, a safe and effective NADH supplement is now available. Written by the developer of oral NADH, this book will inform readers about NADH, its functions that are essential for life and its multiple healthful effects in the human body.

Book excerpt: The production of H2 by fermentative conversion of photosynthetic glucose into H2, CO2, and residual hydrocarbons is one potential method for renewable fuel production. One of the main theoretical issues with fermentative H2 production is the low stoichiometric yield of H2 per glucose. Numerous studies on the engineering of microorganisms for H2 synthesis have been reported, although none have, as yet, successfully demonstrated H2 yields beyond 33% of the maximum stoichiometric potential. The low yields are due principally to two main reasons, described herein as potentially insurmountable hurdles. The first hurdle is the thermodynamic limitation attributed to the energetically unfavorable link among fermentative metabolism, the maintenance of reduced to oxidized ratios of central electron acceptor/donors, and the use of H2 as a final electron sink. The second hurdle is incomplete oxidation of glucose in the absence of O2. In light of these issues, natural and potential engineering solutions for H2 synthesis are discussed. The main conclusion that can be drawn from this is that these hurdles will be exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, to overcome and will therefore require alternative approaches if fermentative H2 is to become an important method of fuel production in the future.

Download or read book Systems Biology of Thermotoga Neapolitana for Biological Hydrogen Production written by Sarah Ann Munro and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hyperthermophile Thermotoga neapolitana was evaluated for hydrogen production in three phases of iterative experimental and computational modeling work. First, the effect of environmental perturbations and fermentation stoichiometry were experimentally determined. Variation of growth temperature within the permissible range did not affect product yields. Maximum H2 production rates were achieved in both 77 and 85 [DEGREE]C experiments. Low pH inhibited glucose consumption; when pH was raised, glucose consumption was complete. Oxygen exposure tests confirmed that O2 addition did not increase H2 production. The fermentation balance at 85 [DEGREE]C was 2.8 mol H2, 2 mol CO2, 1.8 mol acetate, and 0.1 mol lactate per mol of glucose consumed. Constraint-based analysis can increase understanding of metabolic network interactions and can predict effects of metabolic engineering thereby decreasing the need for costly experiments. A comparative reconstruction method was created to convert a constraint -based model for Thermotoga maritima into a model for T. neapolitana based on synteny between the two annotated genome sequences. Flux balance analysis simulations of T. neapolitana batch growth were validated with previously obtained experimental results. The T. neapolitana model was examined to identify mechanisms to allow growth with cysteine as a sole sulfur source, because unlike T. maritima which can only use elemental sulfur in a defined medium, T. neapolitana can also use cysteine. The results were inconclusive ; all genes with known functions related to sulfur metabolism were found in both species. Recent evidence in the literature that both species have a bifurcating hydrogenase that simultaneously utilizes ferredoxin and NADH was also incorporated into the T. neapolitana model. The modified model required the inclu sion of a membrane bound NADH:Ferredoxin oxidoreductase to maintain the correct NAD+/NADH ratio to support growth. Experimental validation of T. neapolitana model-derived hypotheses was conducted. Initial carbon substrate utilization predictions indicated that glycerol, Lrhamnose, and cellotetraose could not support growth. Experimental results showed that both glycerol and L-rhamnose did not support growth, however cellotetraose did support growth. Further analysis comparing protein expression data from cellotetraose and glucose grown cells suggests that the model can be updated to include a more complete cellotetraose pathway.
Download or read book Biohydrogen written by Patrick C. Hallenbeck and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-06-11 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A variety of methods are available and under study for the biological production of hydrogen, each with its own advantages and challenges. These include two light-dependent process: biophotolysis with wither green algae or cyanobacteria or photofermentation with photosynthetic bacteria. Here the major challenge is how to harvest the requisite light energy effectively and efficiently. Two processes that do not depend on light—dark fermentation or microbial electrolysis cells (MEC)—have the advantages of being able to use a variety of waste streams as substrate and a wide variety of different types of microbes as catalysts. However, these suffer either from low yields (dark fermentation) or low volumetric hydrogen productivities and challenges in reactor configuration (MECs). Here, the fundamental principles underlying these different processes are reviewed and recent progress in each are highlighted.
Download or read book BioH2 BioCH4 Through Anaerobic Digestion written by Bernardo Ruggeri and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-02-02 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a Two-Stage Anaerobic Digestion (TSAD) technique for producing hydrogen and methane, following a step-by-step approach in order to guide readers through the experimental verification of the related hypothesis. In the first stage of AD, the reaction conditions are optimized to obtain the maximum amount of hydrogen, while in the second the liquid residue from the first phase is used as a substrate to produce fuel-methane. AD has traditionally been used to reduce the organic content of waste; this results in a biogas that is primarily constituted of CH4 and CO2. Over the last few decades, the conversion of organic matter into hydrogen by means of AD and selecting Hydrogen Producing Bacteria (HPB) has matured into a viable and sustainable technology among the pallet of H2 generation technologies. The combined bio-production of hydrogen and methane from Organic Waste Materials (OWM) is considered to be an ideal way of utilizing waste, and can increase energy efficiency (the substrate Heat Value converted into H2 and CH4 fuel) to roughly 80%, since the energy efficiency of H2-production alone (15%) is not energetically competitive. The two gas streams can be used either separately or in combination (Hytane®), be supplied as civilian gas or used for transportation purposes. All the aspects of this sustainable technology are taken into account, from the basic biochemical implications to engineering aspects, establishing the design criteria and the scale-up procedures for full-scale application. The sustainability of the TSAD method is assessed by applying EROI (Energy Return On Investment) and EPT (Energy Payback Time) criteria, and both the general approach and application to the field of Anaerobic Digestion are illustrated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world needs clean and renewable energy and hydrogen represents an almost ideal resource. Hydrogen is the simplest and most abundant molecule in the universe, yet one that is a challenge to produce from renewable resources. Biohydrogen, or hydrogen produced from renewable resources such as water or organic wastes by biological means, is a goal worthy of increased global attention and resources. The purpose of BioHydrogen '97 was to bring together leaders in the biological p- duction of hydrogen from the United States, Japan, Europe, and elsewhere to exchange scientific and technical information and catalyze further cooperative programs. Parti- pants came from at least different countries representing academia, industry, and g- ernment. Especially important participants were young research scientists and engineers: the next generation of contributors. The conference consisted of plenary presentations, topical sessions, posters, and mini-workshop discussions on key areas of biohydrogen. It was designed to maximize - formation exchange, personal interaction among participants, and formulate new inter- tional initiatives. BioHydrogen '97 was an outgrowth of an international workshop convened by the Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth (RITE) and was held in Tokyo, Japan, November 24-25, 1994. The RITE workshop was highly successful but largely l- ited to traditional biochemical and biological studies and not engineering research topics.
