Penicillin is an antibiotic that's becoming more and more common these days. Bacteria are becoming increasingly resistant to it. So the affect it causes on the bacteria actually has to do with what resistance the bacteria strain is.
Coming back to your answer, all antibiotics are known to attack the cell walls (without which a bacterium cannot survive). So if the cell wall isn't present, the bacteria can do no harm and will eventually die. But if it is, the penicillin will destroy it.
so yes

What is the active metabolite of pencilin?
The active metabolite of penicillin is penicilloic acid, which is formed when penicillin is hydrolyzed. This metabolite retains some antibacterial activity but is generally less effective than the parent compound. Penicillin itself works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. Overall, while penicilloic acid is a product of penicillin breakdown, it is not primarily responsible for the therapeutic effects of the drug.
Are archaea bacteria resistant to penicillin?
Without fully explaining how the penicillin antibitic works: yes, archaea are resistant to penicillin. This is because they don't have peptidoglycan in their cell wall. Penicillin works by lowering the newly formed peptidoglycan in multiplying bacteria. It also does other things. The reason it works (this is natural penicillin G) only on Gr+ is because the can't get through the GR- cell wall. (I say this because both + and - HAVE peptidoglycan in their cell wall)
What is the percentage of penicillin in cottage cheese?
Cottage cheese contains no penicillin. It is formed by the introduction of enzymes, such as Rennet, to the milk. It is a very simply product to make at home, and good for you!
In bacterial endocarditis the mass of bacteria that is formed is called what?
vegetation
How do protoplast differ from L form?
Protoplasts are formed from gram-positive cells in the presence of lysozyme, which destroys the cell wall. L forms are gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria that do not make a cell wall. Therefore, L forms never had or made a cell wall as opposed to protoplasts which used to have a cell wall, but no longer do because it was destroyed. Penicillin can be used to destroy the cell wall of a bacterial gram-positive cell and form a protoplast, but in the presence of Penicillin, if a new bacterial cell is forming and cannot create a cell wall, then it will become an L form.
What is bacterial spore?
Bacterial spores are resistant and dormant structures formed in certain Bacteria and are ment for survival . They are of 2 types endospore and exospores .
What is the bacterial growth phase after death phase?
If endospores are formed there can be the survival phase.
How does penicillin get energy?
penicillin comes from a fungus. the fungus grows and lives by breaking down organic molecules of decomposing animal and plant life. penicillin itself doesnt "get energy" but rather is derived from the fungus. if you are asking how penicillin destroys some microorganisms - the answer is that it interferes with the ability of a newly formed bacterium to develop a cell wall. a bacterium cannot survive without a cell wall.
Semisynthetic are more effective than natural penicillin?
Yes, because the semi-synthetic penicillin contains additional feature in its side chain which some how protects the beta-lactam moiety from beta-lactamenase, an enzyme which works against the beta-lactam moiety of natural penicillin.
What was the solar system when the moon formed?
When the Moon was formed, the Solar System WAS already a solar system.
How is soil formed in moon?
i already said YOUR MOON!~
The type of rock that is formed from rocks that already exist?
METAMORPHIC
