In order to meet the increased needs for metabolic products of the zooglue mushrooms Medusomyces gisevi - "tea" mushroom and Oryzamyces indicia RSC - "rice" mushroom (hereinafter CHG and RG), it became necessary to establish their production on an industrial scale. However, the design, calculations of technological parameters and equipment require knowledge about the kinetics of the development of metabolic processes and the availability of mathematical models (hereinafter MM) that adequately reflect their course.

The search for MM is based on the results of research by various authors on the cultivation of two zooglea fungi, on the basis of which equations describing the kinetic patterns of their development are selected. It was confirmed that at the initial stage of cultivation there were three periods of development of CHH and RG, during which, due to the presence of oxygen dissolved in the culture medium, acids of high activity are formed. The time limits between the periods have been clarified. The essence of the processes occurring in cultural media at various stages and periods is revealed. The physical and biological meaning of some empirical coefficients included in the MM equations is explained.
