Summary:A study has been made of the influence of medium rheological properties on microorganism culturing, utilizing the biotransformation of fruit and vegetable wastes to nutrient protein as an example. The medium was shown to have pronounced non-Newtonian properties and to be classifiable as a pseudoplastic liquid. Application of mathematical modeling methods yielded equations for biomass yield as a function of dry matter concentration and medium viscosity, which make it possible to predict biomass yield on specific media
