What is the precursor of penicillin?(a) Benzylpenicillin(b) Isopenicil

1.	What is the precursor of penicillin?(a) Benzylpenicillin(b) Isopenicillin N(c) phenylacetic acid(d) L-α aminoadipic acidThis question was addressed to me in examination.Query is from Production of Antibiotics (Isolation of Fermentation Products) topic in division Antibiotics & Enzyme Immobilization of Drug Biotechnology
Answer» Correct option is (c) phenylacetic acid Easiest explanation: Benzylpenicillin (Penicillin G) is a narrow spectrum antibiotic used to treat infections caused by some bacteria. It is a NATURAL penicillin antibiotic administered intravenously or intramuscularly. Penicillin G MAY ALSO be used in CASES such as prophylaxis against susceptible organisms.
