In Sir Alexander Fleming's experiment, the control was the Petri dishes that did not contain penicillin. These control dishes allowed Fleming to observe bacterial growth without the influence of the antibiotic, providing a baseline for comparison. By comparing the growth of bacteria in the control dishes to those treated with penicillin, Fleming could clearly demonstrate the antibiotic's effectiveness in inhibiting bacterial growth.
