  abstract = {{T}he hydrogen-producing strain {PROH}2 pertaining to the genus {C}lostridium was successfully isolated from a shallow submarine hydrothermal chimney ({P}rony {B}ay, {N}ew {C}aledonia) driven by serpentinization processes. {C}ell biomass and hydrogen production performances during fermentation by strain {PROH}2 were studied in a series of batch experiments under various conditions of p{H}, temperature, {N}a{C}l and glucose concentrations. {T}he highest hydrogen yield, 2.71 mol {H}-2/mol glucose, was observed at initial p{H} 9.5, 37 degrees {C}, and glucose concentration 2 g/{L}, and was comparable to that reported for neutrophilic clostridial species. {H}ydrogen production by strain {PROH}2 reached the maximum production rate (0.55 m{M}-{H}-2/h) at the late exponential phase. {Y}east extract was required for growth of strain {PROH}2 and improved significantly its hydrogen production performances. {T}he isolate could utilize various energy sources including cellobiose, galactose, glucose, {M}altose, sucrose and trehalose to produce hydrogen. {T}he pattern of end-products of metabolism was also affected by the type of energy sources and culture conditions used. {T}hese results indicate that {C}lostridium sp. strain {PROH}2 is a good candidate for producing hydrogen under alkaline and mesothermic conditions.},
