The lesson states:

If you've ever heard of or taken penicillin to fight off an infection, you can thank a member of the imperfect fungi called penicillium. Some mold species of penicillium are also important in the flavoring and aging of cheese. Roquefort and Camembert cheese owe their distinctive flavors to these fungi. Aspergillus is an imperfect fungus that is found on decaying food. It also contributes to the production of organic acids like citric acid. Both penicillium and aspergillus produce enzymes that are purified and used in various industrial compounds and in medicine.
