PENICILLIN
Penicillins are a group of β-lactam antibiotics obtained
from Penicillium moulds, mainly P. chrysogenum and P. rubens.
Most penicillins in clinical use are synthesised by P. chrysogenum .
 First discovered Antibiotic.
 Discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928.
 Cell wall inhibitor – Inhibits peptidoglycan synthesis.
 Penicillin is a group of antibiotics which includes Penicillin G, Penicillin
V, Amoxillin, Ampicillin, Methicillin, Oxacillin, Dicloxallin, Carbenicillin,
Propicillin and Benzathine penicillin
 Narrow spectrum antibiotic
 More effective against Gram positive bacteria.

Steps Involved In Penicillin Production
1. Selection of microorganism
2. Selection of raw materials
3. Preparation of inoculum
4. Fermentation process
5. Product recovery
1. Selection of Microorganisms
• Fungi mold – Penicillium notatum (in begining) and
Penicillium chrysogenum (used in present days due to
high yield).
The production strain Penicillium chrysogenum was stored
by three methods.
i. Mixing of spore suspension with sterile inert support
(soil or sand) and dessicated (extreme dryness).
ii. Lyophilization of spore suspension (Freeze drying).
iii. Storage of spore suspension in Liquid nitrogen in a
frozen state.
2. Selection Of Raw Materials
i. Abundant growth of mycelium
ii. Maximum accumulation of penicillin
iii. Ease of extraction and purification of antibiotic
• Carbon sources – Lactose acts as a satisfactory carbon source.
Glucose and Sucrose may be used as a substitutes for Lactose.
Glycerol and Sorbitol are less used.
• Nitrogen sources – Ammonium sulphate, Ammonium acetate
and Ammonium lactate. Nitrogen is often supplied as
Ammonia gas. Corn steep liquor also supplies cheap and
readily available nitrogen.
• Mineral sources – Potassium, Phosphorous, Magnesium,
Sulphur, Iron and Copper.
3. Preparation Of Inoculum
• The aim is to develop a pure inoculum in sufficient volume.
• Two types of inoculum:
i. Seed stage culture: Fungal spores are collected by
microchapper and inoculate in fermentation medium.
ii. Production stage culture: Fungal mycelium is directly
inoculated in fermenter. Liquid medium is used.
Microbial Inoculation Methods
Three inoculation methods:
i. Dry spores: Inoculation of dry spores in the fermentation
medium.
ii. Suspension of spores: A non – toxic, lauryl sulfonate or sterile
water is used to make suspension. Such suspension may be
applied by Spray guns or Pipettes.
iii. Pellet inoculum: Suspension of germinated spores, with the
formation of mycelial growth at the surface of medium – pellets.
Fermentation Medium
• The medium suggested by Moyer and Coghill (1946) was used
for the industrial production of Penicillin.
Glycerol – 7.5 g/L
Cane Molasses – 7.5 g/L
Corn Steep Liquor – 2.5 g/L
MgSO4. 7H2O – 0.050 g/L
KH2PO4 – 0.060 g/L
Peptone – 5.0 g/L
NaCl – 4.0 g/L
Iron Tartarate – 0.005 g/L
CuSO4. 5H2O – 0.004 g/L
Agar – 2.50 g/L
4. Fermentation Process
Raw material / synthetic medium is added in fermenter
Inoculation of fungal mycelium
Temperature 20-24 °C
pH 6.5 - 7
Incubation 6 - 7 days
5. Recovery Process
Filteration mycelial removal (vacuum filter)
Add phosphoric acid - lowers pH
Precipitation of penicillin
Broth is extracted by counter current extraction method with
organic solvent (alkyl butyl acetate/ amyl acetate)
Recocvery Process – Contd
Back extract penicillin by adding inorganic solvent KOH /
NaOH to form salt of penicillin
Salt of penicillin
Wash, filter, dry
Chemical / enzymatic modification of penicillin
