Fungi: mushrooms, mould and yeast, sentence 10

In 1928 Alexander Fleming came back from a holiday to a messy lab and, instead of throwing out a spoiled dish, looked closely and saw that a mould called Penicillium had killed the bacteria around it on a dish; it made penicillin, which other scientists turned into a medicine in the 1940s, saving millions of lives.

Who acts: Alexander, mould, dish, other scientists · What happens: come back, throw out, spoil, look, see, call · To what, where: 1928, spoiled dish, mould, bacteria, penicillin, medicine · Speech: someone speaks here
