What role of fungus penicillium in production of penicillin?
Penicillin is a normal product of fungal metabolism that is capable of killing germs(bacteria).Penicillium notatum was the first fungal species from which penicillin was isolated.Production involves fermentation of the fungal spores in carefully -regulated nutrient media.
The nutrients consists of glucose and nitrogen-source,phosphate and calcium in addition to minerals(phenyl-acetic acid) which helps to make the penicillin molecule.
Penicillin is the secondary metabolite that is produced after the initial rapid growth phase of the fungus.The primary metabolites include carbon dioxide and ethanol from respiration.
The temperature and pH(6.5-7) are carefully regulated as production is very sensitive to temperature. The fungus mycelium is then removed by filtration and the penicillin remains behind in solution in the liquid part of the medium.
All impurities are then removed by extraction and vacuum to leave penicillin as a sodium or potassium salt.

What is the source of the antibiotic pencillin?
Joseph Lister, an English surgeon and the father of modern antisepsis, was prompted by Burdon-Sanderson's discovery to investigate and describe in 1871 that urine samples contaminated with mould did not allow the growth of bacteria. He also described the antibacterial action on human tissue on what he called Penicillium glaucum. A nurse at King's College Hospital whose wounds did not respond to any antiseptic, was then given another substance that cured her, and Lister's registrar informed her that it was called Penicillium.
Greeks often used mouldy bread to treat wounds, so penicillin/illium has been used since ancient times, even though it had no name, and wasn't entirely understood.
