Team JKSSB Mock Tests · Accepted Answer

Fleming accidentally discovered penicillin in 1928 when a mold contaminant (later identified as Penicillium notatum/now Penicillium chrysogenum) inhibited bacterial growth. This led to the first widely used antibiotic. Aspergillus species produce some toxins and acids, Saccharomyces is yeast, Agaricus bisporus is the common mushroom. Penicillin acts by disrupting bacterial cell wall synthesis.
