This paper prsents the results of teh study of rheological behaviour of antibiotic biosynthesis liquids obtained by submerged aerobic cultivation of microorganisms belonging to the actinomycete and fungi classes, in stirred tank bioreactors with turbine impellers. These liquids have a non-Newtonian behaviour which follows the power-law rhcological model with a correlation index of over 0.95.The studied liquids are pseudoplastic, and alter their rheological properties, such as consistency index, (K), flow index, (n), apparent viscosity, (ηa), maximum Newtonian viscosity (η0), with the culture age, microrganism strain and batch conditions. Also, these liquids are time dependent, exhibiting thixotropy.The most viscous liquids are produced by Streptomyces aureofaciens and Streptomyces rimosus cultivation, while that produced by Streptomyces griseus is the least viscous. A higher pseudoplasticity appears after 30 hours culture age.Since all these biosynthesis are aerobic, a careful observation of the rhelogical behaviour dynamics is necessary to avoid the oxygen culture supply limitation and the decrease of the bioreactor performance during biosynthesis.
