The ways by which fungi and molds protect themselves by bacterial infection.
Answer to Problem 5TE
Antibiotics produce by the fungi and molds protect them from bacterial infection.
Explanation of Solution
Penicillin is an antibiotics closely related to the compound known as cephalosporin. Which kills bacteria by inactivating receptors sites responsible for strengthening the bacterial cell wall with these receptor sites inactivated,bacterial cell walls grows weak and eventually burst. Hence, fungi and molds protect themselves by producing antibiotics.
Conclusion:
Therefore, Antibiotics produce by the fungi and molds protect them from bacterial infection.
