Antibiotic in gene cloning?

If antibiotic resistance is added to the gene being cloned, antibiotics can be used to isolate the transformed bacteria (ones with the gene being cloned) by killing off all non-transformed bacteria, that don't have the antibiotic resistance. There is a chance that the non-transformed bacteria can mutate to develop antibiotic resistance.

Who first discovered mold?

Nobody "discovered" mold. It has been around for eons. Alexander Fleming discovered that mold can inhibit the growth and spread of bacteria, and subsequently invented penicillin which led to most modern antibiotics. This discovery was a case of serendipity, as mold from a neighboring scientist's experiment contaminated Fleming's bacteria cultures - at first Fleming was angry, until he realized that the mold was killing his bacteria...
