Penicillin Output Fails to Fill Need Despite Increases By Science Service Washington, Feb. 19 Penicillin, doubled and redoubled, seems to be the American bid for a quick victory over infection and disease among our fighting men. So rapidly have production facilities been expanding lately that a good two-fifths of all penicillin turned out in this country during 1943 was produced in December. Thirteen American and two Canadian firms are now manufacturing the germ-killing drug, and within another five months the list of American firms will have grown to 21. the Office of War Information Quantities of penicillin for civilian use will still be extremely limited, however, tor army and navy requirements absorb the lion's share of total production, and still more is needed.

To stretch the limited supply, the service doctors use penicillin only in cases where the sulfa drugs fail to produce results. If casualty lists go up steeply, even the limited supply now permitted for civilian use may be diverted to the war fronts. The U. S. Department of Agriculture, whose biologists and chemists have been responsible for many of the improvements in mass-culturing the mold that secretes penicillin, warns against attempts to "produce penicillin in the kitchen." Molds cultured and processed under any but the most critical conditions are liable to be worthless and may even become dangerous through the growth of "wild" contaminating organisms.

Neither is it correct to say that penicillin is the product of the molds you find growing on spoiled oranges. These usually belong to the genus Penlcilllum or one of its near relatives, but 99 times in 100 they are not of the right species for the production of penicillin.
