Thermotoga maritima and T. neapolitana. Both species metabolised all sugars with
hydrogen yields of 2.7–3.8 mol mol− 1 sugar. Both pentoses were at least comparable to
glucose with respect to their qualities as substrates for hydrogen production, while glycerol
was not metabolised by either species. Glycerol was also not metabolised by T. elfii. We also
demonstrated that T. neapolitana can use wet oxidised wheat straws, in which most sugars …
