Isolation and characterization of hydrogen producing marine photosynthetic bacteria

Photosynthetic bacteria are widely distributed in nature and are a good source of sustainable products. The aim of this work is to investigate the potential of photosynthetic bacteria from marine environments to produce hydrogen, a renewable, clean and efficient fuel. Marine environments have been i...
