In this study, we investigated biohydrogen production potentials of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii strains as CC124, D1 mutants, PGRL1 mutants, mitochondrial mutant AOX, and control strains as WT and T-1. Among all cultures, D240-41, PGRL1xΔnd4 Véro and PGRL1 mt (+) mutants produced the highest amount biohydrogen as 150 ± 2, 170 ± 2 and 140 ± 2 mL H2 L−1, respectively during TAP-TAP (-S) strategy. Then, the three biohydrogen production strategies (TAP-TAP (-S), TAP-HS, and HS-HS) were compared to each other by using the CC124 strain. The culture was capable of producing biohydrogen during the performing TAP-TAP (-S), and HS-HS strategies. The voltage differences were observed at 225 ± 1 mV and 24 ± 1 mV, respectively. Then, D240-41, PGRL1xΔnd4 Véro and PGRL1 mt (+) cultures were evaluated according to HS-HS strategy. The D240-41 strain caused the highest difference in the voltage measurement, which was attained at 80 ± 1 mV. As a result, all selected strains were able to produce hydrogen during this new HS-HS strategy.
