Research ArticleOpen accessIMPROVED PREDICTION FOR MEDIUM OPTIMIZATION USING FACTORIAL SCREENING FOR DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID PRODUCTION BY SCHIZOCHYTRIUM SP. SW1Vidyah Manikan, Mohd Sahaid Kalil, Mohd Hafez Mohd Isa, Aidil Abdul HamidDocosa Hexaenoic Acid (DHA) is an essential fatty acid that plays major role in human health. It is typically extracted from fatty fish and this puts pressure on global fish stock. DHA obtained from fish is also prone to contamination. Schizochytrium is a potential alternative source, having the ability of accumulating considerable amounts of DHA. Modification of medium components and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 15 Jan 2014 · 7,845 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEffect of Nitrogen Source and Carbon to Nitrogen Ratio on Hydrogen Production using C. acetobutylicumMohd Sahaid Kalil, Hisham Salem Alshiyab, Wan Mohtar Wan YusoffProblem statement: One of the main factors influenced the bacterial productivity and total yield of hydrogen is the nitrogen source and its concentration. Approach: Using different nitrogen source with different concentration on bacterial productivity of hydrogen showed to affect on both bacterial productivity of hydrogen and biomass concentration. Results: Yeast extract as nitrogen source at concentration of 13 g L-1 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,846 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessMedia Improvement for Hydrogen Production Using C. acetobutylicum NCIMB 13357Mohd Sahaid Kalil, Hisham Salem Saleh Alshiyab, Wan Mohtar Wan YusoffProblem statement: Some component of fermentation medium showed to reduce the bacterial production of hydrogen. Approach: Reinforced clostridium medium is a selected medium for Clostridium species. Reformulation this medium regarding hydrogen production may focus on such medium composition that enhance or reduce the bacterial productivity. The optimum pH and temperature for hydrogen production were at initial pH of 7.0 and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,257 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEffect of Environmental Parameters on hydrogen Production using Clostridium Saccharoperbutylacetonicum N1-4(ATCC 13564)Walid M. Alalayah, Mohd Sahaid Kalil, Abdul Amir H. Kadhum et al.Problem statement: Hydrogen gas production by Clostridium can be improved by several ways through media formulation, or suitable environment condition. This study was carried out to investigate the environmental factors effects on hydrogen production using Clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum N1-4 (ATCC 13564). Approach: The environmental factor studied includes initial substrate concentration, initial medium pH, temperature, sparging nitrogen and addition of Fe2+. Results: … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,785 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessImprovement of Biohydrogen Production under Increased the Reactor Size by C. acetobutylicum NCIMB 13357Hisham Salem Alshiyab, Mohd Sahaid Kalil, Aidil Abdul Hamid, Wan Mohtar Wan YusoffProblem statement: One of the main factors influenced the bacterial productivity and total yield of hydrogen is the partial pressure of produced gas. A novel solution to enhance the bacterial productivity was through reduction of gas pressure. Approach: Increasing the reactor size showed to enhance the bacterial production of hydrogen. Results: The technique of increasing reactor size resulted to enhance … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,367 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessTrace Metal Effect on Hydrogen Production Using C.acetobutylicumHisham Alshiyab, Mohd Sahaid Kalil, Aidil Abdul Hamid, Wan Mohtar Wan YusoffThis study was carried out to study the effect of trace metal addition for hydrogen production The results show that this bacterial need a selected nutrient with selected concentration. The optimum parameters for cultivation were at initial pH of 7.0 and temperature of 30°C. Trace metal addition to the new medium showed that only iron enhanced the H2 yield. The … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,641 accessesView PDF Cite
