Penicillin Production by Penicillium chrysogenum PCL 501: Effect of UV Induced Mutation
Penicillin production by Penicillium chrysogenum (PCL501) fermented on glucose, lactose and four agro-wastes (cassava shavings, corncob, sawdust, and sugarcane pulp) was monitored with HPLC. The highest amount of penicillin was obtained with sugarcane pulp.
