What inspired Fleming to search for a drug to treat bacterial infections?
Fleming found that some bacteria produce antibiotics but by mistake. He made a streak plate and it became contaminated by a fungi. He noticed around the bacteria that there was a clear space and deducted that the clear space contained antibiotics made by the fungi. This fungi was called penicillin notatum. Later Florey and Chain actually isolated the substance called an antibiotic. This term means against life. This antibiotic was mass-produced and eventually was used by the troops in World War II.
How is a clear zone in bacteria created?
A clear zone in bacteria, such as seen in a bacterial lawn on an agar plate, is usually formed when bacteria produce substances like antibiotics or enzymes that can inhibit the growth of other bacteria in the vicinity. This inhibitory effect leads to a clear or transparent zone around the bacteria that produced the inhibitory substance.
What is the container used for growing mold or bacteria called?

What had happened to the bacteria in the clear area around the paper disc soaked in spot lotion?
The bacteria in the clear area around the paper disc soaked in the spot lotion were likely killed or inhibited from growing. The spot lotion contains chemicals that are effective against bacteria, creating a zone of inhibition where bacterial growth is suppressed.
