  Strangeness production was investigated during the equilibration of a gluon
dominated parton plasma produced at RHIC and LHC energies. The time evolution
of parton densities are followed by a set of rate equations in a 1-dimensional
expanding system. The strangeness production will depend on the initial
chemical equilibration level and in our case the parton densities will remain
far from the full equilibrium. We investigate the influence of gluon
fragmentation on final strangeness content.
