Dataset on the effect of six antibiotics on the gas production capacity of anthracite hydrogen-producing bacteria
Description
The impact of antibiotics on H2-producing bacteria must be considered in the industrialization of biological H2 production using livestock manure as raw resources. However, whether antibiotics that may be contained in excreta will threaten the safety of biohydrogen production needs to be researched. In this research, six single antibiotics and three combined antibiotics were tested and analyzed by gradient experiment method. The H2 production rate, CHO content, pH and OD600 were used to analyze the effects of various antibiotics introduction on the hydrolysis, fermentation and Hz production. Four typical representative samples were selected for biodiversity analysis from the single antibiotic experiment groups. Total more than 1600 pieces of data were obtained in the experiment. Data confirmed that most antibiotics have different degrees of H2 production inhibition, while some antibiotics, which like Penicillin G, Streptomycin Sulfate, and their compound antibiotics, could promote the growth of Ethanoligenens sp. and improve H2 yield on the contrary. According to the changes of key metabolic intermediates and end products, the effect mechanism of each antibiotic type and dose on H2 production were summarized as follows: the main inhibitory mechanisms were: (1) board-spectrum inhibition, (2) partial inhibition, (3) H2 consumption enhancement; and the enhancement mechanisms were: (1) enhance the growth of H2-producing bacteria, (2) enhanced starch hydrolysis, (3) inhibitory H2 consumption or release of acid inhibition. Meanwhile, data analysis found that the effect of antibiotics on H2 producing was not only related to type, but also to dosage. Even one kind of antibiotic may have completely opposite effects on H2-producing bacteria under different dosage conditions. Inhibition of H2 yield was highest with Levofloxacin at 6.15 mg/L, gas production was reduced by 88.77%; and enhancement of H2 yield was highest with Penicillin G at 7.20 mg/L, the gas production increased by 72.90%. In the selection of raw material, the type and content of antibiotics demand a detailed investigation and analysis to ensure that the sustainability of H2 yield.
