Penicillin biosynthetic pathway. Steps of the penicillin biosynthetic pathway, indicating in red letters the precursors, intermediates and final product. The enzymes/genes are shown at the right side. A peroxisome is shown as a green circle in which the last enzymes of the pathway are included. In the peroxisomal membrane a blue ellipse indicates the PenM protein involved in isopenicillin N transport, and an orange ellipse shows the PaaT protein for phenylacetic acid import into the peroxisomes
