Description Six high biomass sorghum lines (IS 22868,
IS 27206, IS 15957, IS 16529, ICSV 93046 and
CSH 22SS were evaluated for their potential as
a substrate material for biohydrogen production
by anaerobic fermentation using methanogens
deactivated cow dung based mixed microbial
consortia. The data revealed that all selected
high biomass sorghum lines differed significantly
for candidate biomass traits as well as for
biomass composition. The high biomass lines,
IS 27206 and IS 22868 recorded higher stalk and
stover yield compared to others. Least biomass
yield (stalk and stover) was noticed with ICSV
93046. The lignin content is low in IS 27206 and
IS 15957. Highest biohydrogen yield was
observed in IS 27206 followed by IS 22868 and
ICSV 93046. The lignin content is negatively
correlated with biohydrogen production.
