To develop an integrated process of CO2-fixation and H2 photoproduction by marine green microalga Platymonas subcordiformis, the impact of algal cells grown in CO2-supplemented air bubble column bioreactor was investigated on H2 photoproduction regulated by carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhrazone. Highest cell growth (3.85 ¡Á 106 cells ml−1), starch content (0.25 ¡À 0.08 mg per 106 cells) and hydrogen production (50 ¡À 3 ml l−1) were achieved at 3 % CO2-supplemented culture, which are respectively 1.4, 2.1, 1.5-fold of the air-supplemented culture. Improved H2 production correlated well with the increase in starch accumulation. In this process, the algal cells have been recycled for stable H2 production of 40–50 ml l−1 over five cycles.
