Chemical changes, lactic acid bacteria and yeast counts in kimchi prepared by a commercial manufacturer in large scale were monitored at different fermentation temperature. The optimum pH of kimchi, around pH 4.2, reached within 2 days at $25^{circ}C$, 3 days at $15^{circ}C$ and 23 days at $5^{circ}C$ fermentation, respectively. The optimum acidity calculated as lactic acid was not exactly coincident with pH. The total viable count reached at maximum within 2 days at $25^{circ}C$, 6 days at $15^{circ}C$ and 12 days at $5^{circ}C$ fermentation, respectively. The identified strains of Lactobacilli during kimchi fermentation were L. brevis, L. plantarum and L. acidophilus with 3 unidentified strains. L. brevis, L. plantarum appeared from the first stage of fermentation to the terminal at $15^{circ}C$ and $25^{circ}C$ with keeping a constant level of viable number. In case of Leuconostoc species, L. mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides was identified. This strain increased in viable number at the beginning of fermentation and dropped sharply at all fermentation temperatures. Pediococcus species including P. pentosaceus and one unidentified strain increased at the first stage of fermentation and decreased after on. Streptococcus faecium subsp. casseliflavus which appeared at the middle stage and Aerococcus viridans which was sole strain were also confirmed during kimchi fermentation. Cryptococcus laurenti was identified at all fermentation temperature and disappeared at the first stage of fermentation. It was reappeared 10 days only after fermentation at $25^{circ}C$.
