Far as I concern, the claim on low temperature is not accurate. Usually what branded a biological washing powder is inclusion of enzyme to help remove grease and protein. Higher temperature give more kinetic energy and so the enzyme activity increase. However, when the temperature is too high the enzyme may denature. For the Lipase enzyme, optimum temperature is 37 C. I don't think 37 C is considered low temperature. It is rather stated best use at human body temperature.

The use of micrognism and fermenters to manufacture the antibiotic penicilin and enzymes for use in biological washing powders?

Penicillium from fungi is mixed with sugar in a fermenter. Fungi grows for about 15-24 hours and then begins to secrete penicillin. The solution is filtered off and is concentrated to give penicillin. Enzymes lipase in biological washing powders are used to break down fats or grease on clothes and protease used to break down proteins such as blood stains.
