Abstract:The fermentation kinetics of a bacterial cellulose-producing strain QAX993 was studied and the kinetic models of microorganism growth, product formation and substrate consumption were developed based on the Logistic equation and then the kinetics parameters of the batch fermentation in rotating biodisc reactor for bacterial cellulose production were obtained. Results showed that the model predicted very well the kinetics characteristics of the stain QAX993 mediated batch fermentation in rotating biodisc reactor.
