Microbes in Industrial Products: Antibiotics
- Antibiotics produced by microbes are regarded as one of the most significant discoveries of the twentieth century and have greatly contributed towards the welfare of the human society.
- Antibiotics are chemical substances, which are produced by some microbes and can kill or retard the growth of other (disease-causing) microbes.
- Penicillin was the first antibiotic to be discovered by Alexander Fleming while working on Staphylococci bacteria.
- He observed a mould growing in one of his unwashed culture plates around which Staphylococci could not grow.
- He found out that it was due to a chemical produced by the mould and he named it Penicillin after the mould Penicillium notatum.
- However, its full potential as an effective antibiotic was established much later by Ernest Chain and Howard Florey.
- This antibiotic was extensively used to treat American soldiers wounded in World War II. Fleming, Chain and Florey were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1945, for this discovery
