L-lysine is being produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum in a bioreactor using glucose as the carbon source, ammonia as the nitrogen source. The bacteria grow aerobically in a continuous process at steady-state. All streams of this process are aqueous. In the inlet stream, 8 grams of glucose is included per 100 grams of stream liquid, which flows at a rate of 500 kg/h. The flow rate of glucose in the outlet steam is 1 kg/h. The reaction occurs at 25 °C. What is the mole percentage of glucose that was consumed during cell growth inside the bioreactor?

Question

L-lysine is being produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum in a bioreactor using glucose as the
carbon source, ammonia as the nitrogen source. The bacteria grow aerobically in a continuous process at
steady-state. All streams of this process are aqueous. In the inlet stream, 8 grams of glucose is included per
100 grams of stream liquid, which flows at a rate of 500 kg/h. The flow rate of glucose in the outlet steam
is 1 kg/h. The reaction occurs at 25 °C.

What is the mole percentage of glucose that was consumed during cell growth inside the
bioreactor?
