Is this penicillin mold?

Ok, This showed up in one of my plates and got me a little interested.



I took a sample of the yellow liquid that the mold seems to be producing, suspended it in an acetate solution, and ran it through the spectrophotometer. It showed peeks at 314.00nm, 321.50nm, and 324.50nm which seems about right for penicillin. Most of the testing data states that it will absorb around 322.00nm but it is based on a purified product.
So does anyone know if this is penicillin mold?

Looks like a form of Penicillium to me.
Has the macroscopic characteristics, white leading edge, banding etc...
Swipe some bacteria on that dish and see if it keeps away from the mould.
Got any pics through a microscope?
Have a look at http://bioinfo.bact.wisc.edu/themicrobialworld/antimicrobial.html There are some cool pics and a bit of info.

Do you own your own spectrophotometer?

Fucking awesome!
If I was to send you some reishi alcohol or acetone extract could you run a test for me?
I want to know the ganoderic acid content of my wild Puerto Rican Ganoderma.

I would need 2x20ml samples of the ethanol extract and 1x20ml sample of the same ethanol that you used to make the extract, to run as a background. I could run it and send you the raw absorbency data but calculating the mg/g would be up to you. Drop me a PM and I'll see what we can do and discuss the sample preparation.
