Carrier induced granular particles comprising Enterobacter cloacae and Citrobacter freundii were used to generate H(2) from sucrose in an anaerobic fluidized bed bioreactor. At a hydraulic retention time of 4.5 h, 95.8% of the sucrose was consumed and the rate of H(2) production reached 180 mmol H(2) l h(-1). Biogas composition for H(2) and CO(2) was 42 and 55%, respectively.
