Abstract :

 Penicillin is a well–known antibiotic that is produced by fungi belong to species Penicillium. Due to the immense applicability of penicillin antibiotic in the field of medicine, it has gained a very vital position in the industrial sector. In view of the importance of penicillin in the field of industry and medicine, the current works aim to compare and standardize the effect of penicillin antibiotic production by Penicillium chrysogenum. The mutant strain was prepared by exposing wild strain to Ultraviolet (UV) light exposure. The antibiotic produced was estimated using titrimetric protocol and the comparative study was done on the productivity of wild strain and mutant strain of Penicillium chrysogenum. In mutant strain, a productivity of penicillin at pH 5.5 and 2 ml of inoculum size is higher as compare to wild strain in the same condition.
