Abstract: The fermentation process of bacterial cellulose-producing strain QAX993 was studied. A kinetic model was proposed based on the Logistic equation for microorganism growth, product formation and substrate consumption. With the evaluated model parameters, the model appeared to provide a reasonable description for the fermentation process under various conditions.

Key words: bacterial cellulose, fermentation kinetics, model parameters
