A novel polyethylene glycol (PEG) gel was fabricated and used as a carrier to immobilize Clostridium butyricum EB6 to improve biohydrogen (bio-H2) production from palm oil mill effluent (POME). POME is used as a substrate that can act as a carbon source. The resulting PEG-immobilized cells were foun...
