✦ Synopsis

Several bacteria strains were choosen from pre-selected strains for further testing and characterisation. Hydrolytic activity of lipases from thermophilic bacteria was examined using olive oil as a substrate at different reaction temperatures. Alcoholytic activity was also investigated. Lipases from thermophilic bacteria have been successfully produced on a large scale.

To be able to predict if these lipases can be used for transesterification reactions, these preparations need to be purified further or to be cloned.

Thermophilic, aerobic bacteria isolated from Icelandic hot springs were screened for xylanase activity. Of 97 strains tested, 14 were found to be xylanase positive. Xylanase activities up to 12 nkat/ml were produced by these strains in shake flasks on xylan medium. The xylanases of the two strains p

Dark fermentative hydrogen production from glucose by a thermophilic culture (33HL), enriched from an Icelandic hot spring sediment sample, was studied in two continuous-flow, completely stirred tank reactors (CSTR1, CSTR2) and in one semi-continuous, anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) at 588
