Which is normally killed in an hour when growing in a medium

Suppose you have a bacterium, which is normally killed in an hour when growing in a medium containing penicillin. This bacterium is an auxotroph and requires tryptophan for growth. When placed in a medium lacking both tryptophan and penicillin, the bacterium neither grows nor dies for several hours. Question: Is it killed in an hour in a medium lacking tryptophan but containing penicillin?
