Description

Penicillium, a genus of fungi, has had a transformative impact on medicine and food production. Its discovery led to the development of the first antibiotic, penicillin, revolutionizing healthcare by treating bacterial infections. Additionally, various Penicillium species are used in cheese-making, contributing to the unique flavors and textures of different cheeses. However, exposure to certain Penicillium species can trigger allergies or respiratory issues in sensitive individuals. Proper handling, containment, and controlled use of Penicillium in pharmaceuticals and food processing are crucial to harness its benefits while minimizing potential health risks.
"We think AC’s technology can revolutionise the way farmers detect mildew and save millions of lost crops."
