This fermentation vessel comes from a short period in penicillin’s history. We had figured out that penicillin could kill bacteria, but we didn’t know how much medicine people needed or how to mass-produce it. The vessel's car-muffler shape proved ideal for growing the mold from which penicillin is extracted.
