    abstract = {Enhancement of bio-hydrogen production by green microalgae <I>Chlamydomonas reinhardtii</I> has
captivated tremendous interest. The yield of bio-hydrogen production by <I>C. reinhardtii</I> was enhanced
by co-culturing with ragi tapai followed by immobilization and culturing in the right TAP-S medium. In this
study, the three factors that affects the bio-hydrogen production by <I>C. reinhardtii</I> were evaluated with
Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The amount of microalgae and ragi tapai as well the pH of the culture
medium were simultaneously altered to determine the maximum bio-hydrogen yield. The maximum bio-hydrogen
production yield obtained was 702317 ppm under conditions of 2.46 g of microalgae, 0.45 g of ragi tapai and pH
medium of 7.23.}
