Solution
The correct option is D Penicillium notatum
- Alexander Fleming was working on a Bacterial culture of Staphylococcus to studying the action of lysozyme and its role in the fighting of the infection.
- While he was working with the culture he noticed that the bacterial culture's growth is inhibited due to the growth of fungal infection on it.
- The fungus that infected the culture was Penicillium notatum , whose secretion was later to be discovered as antibiotic penicillin.
- So the answer Penicillium notatum is correct.
