The ability of these Penicillium species to grow on seeds and other stored foods depends on their propensity to thrive in low humidity and to colonize rapidly by aerial dispersion while the seeds are sufficiently moist. [10] Some species have a blue color, commonly growing on old bread and giving it a blue fuzzy texture.
Penicillium chrysogenum (formerly known as Penicillium notatum) is a species of fungus in the genus Penicillium. It is common in temperate and subtropical regions and can be found on salted food products, [ 1 ] but it is mostly found in indoor environments, especially in damp or water-damaged buildings. [ 2 ]
Penicillium rubens is a species of fungus in the genus Penicillium and was the first species known to produce the antibiotic penicillin. It was first described by Philibert Melchior Joseph Ehi Biourge in 1923. For the discovery of penicillin from this species Alexander Fleming shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1945.

Penicillium roqueforti is a common saprotrophic fungus in the genus Penicillium.Widespread in nature, it can be isolated from soil, decaying organic matter, and plants. The major industrial use of this fungus is the production of blue cheeses, flavouring agents, antifungals, polysaccharides, proteases, and other enzymes.
A 1957 fermentor (bioreactor) used to grow Penicillium mould. Penicillin is produced by the fermentation of various types of sugar by the fungus Penicillium rubens. [123] The fermentation process produces penicillin as a secondary metabolite when the growth of the fungus is inhibited by stress. [123]
Penicillium camemberti is used to make camembert and brie cheese, which have a white mold surface, Worobo explains. ... Discard all food growing mold. Do not sniff moldy food (to avoid inhaling ...
Penicillium expansum grows best in wet, cool (<25C) conditions. [13] P. expansum was found to grow most efficiently in a temperature range of 15–27 degrees Celsius, with slower growth at lower and higher temperatures. [13] P. expansum grows best in wet conditions; growth rate was fastest at a relative humidity of 90%. [13]
