Question

Why cannot ecoli be used to overproduce penicillin?

Answer 1

Because Penicillin is Intracellular Product, if use we E.Coli to overproduce this intracellular product cause increasing of number of product and cellular weight results metabolic imbalance and physically cell disruption and loss of cells
