Examples
Eighty-one years later, the substance produced by the Penicillium notatum fungus is still in wide use as an antibiotic.
More or less of the pale gray-green fruit of the characteristic Penicillium Camemberti can usually be seen.
Some years since, a quantity of dead box leaves were collected, on which flourished at the time a mould named Penicillium roseum.
When collected, these leaves were examined, and nothing was observed or noted upon them except this Penicillium.
Aspergillus glaucus and Penicillium crustaceum are examples of these universal Mucedines.
There could be no mistake about the genus to which this mould belonged; it had all the essential characters of Penicillium.
