Miscanthus+ thermophillic bacteria = High hydrogen yield.

Given below is the summary of the research of efforts of efficient hydrogen production from the lignocellulosic energy crop Miscanthus by the extreme thermophilic bacteria.

Efficient hydrogen production in combination with simultaneous and complete utilization of all saccharides has been obtained during the growth of thermophilic bacteria on
hydrolysate of the lignocellulosic feedstock Miscanthus. The use of thermophilic bacteria will therefore significantly contribute to the energy efficiency of a bioprocess for hydrogen production from biomass.

For those of the scientific bent - Full article.
