Abstract The total heat production from luminous bacteria growing on glycerol as a sole source of carbon and energy was measured in an isothermal microcalorimeter and compared to the light emitted and growth yield. Substrate concentration was measured before and after growth to calculate the amount of substrate utilized. From these data the total energy flux was determined for Vibrio harveyi: a 25 ml culture consumed 328 micromoles of glycerol (130 cal) and produced 54 calories of heat, 76.3 cal of biomass, and 3.5 millicalories of light. Bioluminescence was then only a very small fraction (0.007%) of the total energy expended.
