1 00:00:00,430 --> 00:00:06,219 Penicillium spores 2 00:00:06,219 --> 00:00:27,820 Spores are covered by a very resistant layer. 3 00:00:27,820 --> 00:00:29,820 Spores can be airborne. 4 00:00:29,820 --> 00:00:36,920 They can last for years until they germinate in the right place. 5 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:58,979 They have a nucleus inside, so they are eukaryotes. 6 00:00:58,979 --> 00:01:01,979 They also have several organelles. 7 00:01:01,979 --> 00:01:17,269 When they germinate, they develop hyphae 8 00:01:17,269 --> 00:01:22,950 and produce an antibiotic penicillin that can kill bacteria.
