Question

What is the precursor for penicillin g biosynthesis during fermentation process

Answer 1

utilization of the side chain precursors phenoxyactic acid(POA) and phenylacetic acid (PA) for penicillin biosynthesis by penicillium chrysogenum was studied in shake flask.precursor uptake and penicillin production were followed by HPLC analysis of precursors and products in the medium and in the cell

Answer 2
