Biohydrogen production from corn stalk: The superior performance of light-independent bacteria and microbial community dynamics

Key Points

• Biohydrogen production increased significantly when utilizing light-independent bacteria for energy conversion.
• The microbial community dynamic showed notable shifts, particularly favoring certain bacterial populations over others in the process.
• Assessment using microbial community analysis highlighted the supportive role of light-independent bacteria in biohydrogen generation from agricultural waste.
• These findings suggest a viable method for renewable energy production, yet further exploration of community interactions is warranted.
