Answer 1

a Penicillin is produced by fungal fermentation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The industrial production of penicillin (PEN) occurs via fermentation using the filamentous fungus Penicillium chrysogenum

Penicillin G (benzylpenicillin) was first produced from a penicillium fungus that occurs in nature. The strain of fungus used today for the manufacture of penicillin G was created by genetic engineering to improve the yield in the manufacturing process.
