L-lysine is being produced by Corynebacterium glutamicumin a bioreactorusing glucose as the carbon source, ammonia as the nitrogen source. The bacteria grow aerobicallyin 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.  According this does the growth of Corynebacterium glutamicum cells inside this bioreactor release or absorb heat? Should heat be supplied to the bioreactor, or removed from, to maintain the operation temperature?
