Comparison of hydrogen amounts produced by different Chlamydomonas mutants.
| Mutant | H2 volume (ml/L culture) | Chlorophyll (μg/ml) | H2 volume (μmol H2/μg chl) | PBR size (ml, ø in cm) | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Absolute H2 volumes are taken from specified publications. For a better comparison, H2 amounts are equalized to chlorophyll content (column 4). Photobioreactor (PBR) sizes are given as one possible factor introducing some variance between studies due to differences in experimental set-ups.
