Penicillin was discovered as a product of the mold Penicillium notatum. This mold is generally found on the skin of Oranges and lemons and Alexander Fleming was eating an orange and plating bacteria at the same time. Some mold contaminated the culture dish and when it was incubated, zones of inhibition appeared around the mold colonies. This was investigated and penicillin was discovered! This mold is also commonly found on stale bread.
Penicillin is a waste product of fungi of the genus Penicillium. Penicillium tends to grow on citrus fruit.
Penicillin originally came from mould.
the bacteria can still grow in an isotonic solution with penicillin present.
Mold will not grow on bread while it is in the freezer.
Many different onesMost bread molds are found in the phylum Zygomycota. See the related link.Some common bread mould are rhizopus (a black fuzzyish fungi), penicillium (the mould which can produce penicillin), and nigrican.
In heat because bread needs moisture to grow mold
penicillin is the most common mold to grow on bread
yes, yes it can.
Bread mold does not turn into penicillin. Bread mold makes penicillin as aby-product of its metabolic processes. Penicillin is manufactured by growing bread mould in a nutrient and stripping off the produced penicillin in the same manner that alcohol is made by yeast and the alcohol recovered.
Penicillin originally came from mould.
you just let it grow on a citrus fruit in a warm humid climate. Make sure the fruits are bruised up.Also bread
No. Penicillin was originally found on bread mold, not cheese mold. Not that moldy bread will have enough penicilllin to 'cure' anything.
Banana do grow penicillin i found out when my daughter did a piece of homework she let a banana rot. she shook the pot and penicillin came out
penicillin
Penicillin is a natural occurring antibiotic. The kind you get from a pharmacy has been measured and regulated for safety, but Flemming, the scientist who discovered penicillin noticed that bacteria could not grow where mold from a piece of bread had been. Mold on citrus also contains penicillin.
Penicillin is obtained from the Penicillium notatum mold.
penicillin grows on fruits that are bruised. Mainly citrus fruits
