1. INTRODUCTION Here stated is the introduction for penicillin notatum which makes clear the reason for selecting this microorganism for this term paper .Species of Penicillium are ubiquitous saprobes‚ whose numerous conidia are easily distributed through the atmosphere and are common in soils. In soil analyses‚ using dilution plate techniques‚ Penicillium species are detected with high frequency (Domsch et al.‚ 1993). However‚ very little is known of interactions between Penicillium species and

from the environment. Traditional methods for cleaning up contaminated sites such as dig and haul‚ pump and treat‚ soil venting‚ air sparging and others are generally harmful to habitats. Some methods strip the soil of vital nutrients and microorganisms‚ so nothing can grow on the site‚ even if it has been decontaminated. Typically these mechanical methods are also very expensive. Most of the remediation technologies that are currently in use are very expensive‚ relatively inefficient and generate
