| Description | Penicillium chrysogenum is a fungus from the family Aspergillaceae found in temperate and subtropical regions. It is renowned as a source of several important Beta-lactam antibiotics including penicillin. Penicillin works by disrupting cell wall synthesis in gram-positive bacteria such as staphylococci and streptococci. It is now produced on an industrial scale and is used to treat a variety of different bacterial infections throughout the world. The sequenced isolate Wisconsin 54-1255 is an industrial production strain of P. chrysogenum. Its nuclear genome is 32.19 Mb with 13, 653 ORFs (based on a minimum size of 100 amino acids) and the mitochondrial genome is 27,017bp with 16 protein coding genes. |
