Dear student,
The odd one is Penicillin . This antibiotic is obtained from filamentous fungi Penicillium. All the rest of the mentioned antibiotics are derived from bacteria(actinomycete).
Streptomycin- derived from the actinomycete Streptomyces griseus
Erythromycin- produced by an actinomycete, Streptomyces erythraeus
Neomycin- produced by an actinomycete, Streptomyces fradiae
Regards.
