β¦ Synopsis
A bioenergetic model has been developed for the fermentation of glucose by Bacillus polyrnyxa. This model uses energy balances to determine which pathways are utilized by the substrate. The model can predict substrate consumption, biomass formation, and the product distribution for this fermentation. The products are carbon di- oxide, water, 2,3-butanediol, and ethanol, where ethanol represents lumped anaerobic products.

## Abstract For the transition to the hydrogen economy, hydrogen must be produced sustainably, e.g., by the fermentation of agricultural material. Continuous fermentative production of hydrogen from an insoluble substrate in nonsterile conditions is yet to be reported. In this study hydrogen produc
