Human waste simulants were for the first time converted into biohydrogen by a newly developed anaerobic microbial consortium via thermophilic consolidated bioprocessing. Four different BioH2-producing consortia (denoted as C1, C2, C3 and C4) were isolated, and developed using human waste simulants as substrate. The thermophilic consortium C3, which contained Thermoanaerobacterium, Caloribacterium, and Caldanaerobius species as the main constituents, showed the highest BioH(2) production (3.999 mmol/g) from human waste simulants under optimized conditions (pH 7.0 and 60 degrees C). The consortium C3 also produced significant amounts of BioH2 (5.732 mmol/g and 2.186 mmol/g) using wastewater and activated sludge, respectively. The developed consortium in this study is a promising candidate for H-2 production in space applications as in situ resource utilization.
