Abstrakt: Hydrogen production from Saccharina Japonica by simultaneous dark fermentation (DF) and microbial electrolysis cell (MEC), called sDFMEC, was studied. In the novel sDFMEC process, substrates were converted to H 2 and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) by DF in the bulk phase, and VFAs are simultaneously oxidized by the exoelectrogens in the microbial film on anode electrode with further production of H 2 at the cathode. The sDFMEC process was compared with DF and a combined process of DF and MEC in series (DF-MEC) in terms of H 2 production. The overall H 2 production from S. Japonica in sDFMEC process was higher (438.7 ± 13.3 mL/g-TS), than DF (54.6 ± 0.8 mL/g-TS) and DF-MEC (403.5 ± 7.9 mL/g-TS) process, respectively, which is approximately 3-times higher than those reported in the literature.
