Gene clusters for β-lactam antibiotics and control of their expression: why have clusters evolved, and from where did they originate? [PDF]
While β-lactam compounds were discovered in filamentous fungi, actinomycetes and gram-negative bacteria are also known to produce different types of β-lactams. All β-lactam compounds contain a four-membered β-lactam ring.

Respiration of Penicillium chrysogenum in Penicillin Fermentations [PDF]
Spore-inoculated penicillin fermentations using Penicillium chrysogenum W 48–701 were carried out in two different types of equipment: stirred and aerated laboratory fermentors, or shaken flasks. The respiration of the mycelium was measured in Warburg manometers. The maximum oxygen demand in the fermentations occurred at approximately 40 hr.
