Yes. For some reason, all molds grow quicker, and "easier" if your growing it. In your question, no, not ALL bacteria requires moisture for growth. But if you are growing some, I suggest putting it in a warm, moist, and dark area. Thanks,

Do grapes mold at all?
Yes, the growth of mold is encouraged by moisture and grapes have moisture in them so they can mold.
Why do bacteria grow weak in the freezer?
Bacteria all have a specific optimum growth temperature. When the temperature is not at the optimum, growth is slowed down. When it is too cold, the bacteria will still be alive, but growth will be very slow and spoilage will happen slower.
What is confluent growth?
A continuous bacterial growth covering all or part of the filtration area of a membrane filter in which the bacteria colonies are not discrete.
What is dentrifying bacteria and why are they harmful to crops?
They are little micro-bugs that sucks all moisture and out of the crops.
Do all fungi require organic material for growth?
Yes
Can you prevent bacteria from multiplying by removing all the moisture from the food?
Yes. Drying is a form of food preservation.
Can all bacteria grow on culture?
No, not all bacteria can grow on a culture. Some bacteria require extreme environmental factors to grow, and survive, which you can't really try on a culture plate.
Why is all iron in the body found in iron protein complexes?
To discourage the growth of bacteria.
What are the major requirements for bacterial growth?
The major requirements for bacterial growth are; Temperature (98.6°F is optimal), Ph Balance (ph7 or close to), Moisture (any amount), Light (Dark places grow more bacteria faster), and a food source.
Why does mold grow on walls?
Mold grows on walls because of moisture do to water damage in the home sometimes in in the basement. Moisture can get trapped inside the walls and can create mold growth. Mold can also cause problems with ones allergies and can also cause skin and eye irritation.
Were does a fungi spore grow?
Fungi spores grow on moist surfaces. Some fungi require lots of moisture on a growth surface, other requires less moisture, but they all require moisture. Most homes are not moist enough for mold and that is why most homes are not over run by mold growth. Molds that require lots of moisture are known as hydrophilic fungi. Chaetomium Fusarium, and Stachybotrys are just three hydrophilic fungi. Other require moderate amounts of moisture, these are known as mesophilic fungi, Many common species of Penicilliumm Aspergillius, and Cladosporium fit into thig group. Others require only the moisture found in humid environment and do not even require a leak. These are known as xerophilic fungi. Moisture from the humid air enters surfaces, and these xerophilic humidity loving molds grows on these surfaces. Penicillium chrysogenum seems to be mesophylic at times and grows around leaks, often it will act more xerophilic and grow in humid environments. Fungi do not require warmth as many people like to report, If you do not believe me go dig through the vegetable crisper of your cold refrigerator and you will likely find some moldy food sooner or later. Molds require suitable temperatures some where above freezing and below very high intolerable temperatures will do just fine. They also require food, but when you are a fungal spore a speck of dust or grain of dirt on a otherwise inorganic nutrient poor surface may be all the food you will need. In summary fungi require moisture, this is what is lacking and what needs to be added for spores to grow into mold.
What are six growth conditions for bacteria?
To allow bacteria to multiply there are four main requirements that the bacteria needs to undergo this process food, warmth, moisture, and time, however there is six conditions altogether that allows the bacteria to multiply. The Bacteria needs a food source, acidity environment, warmth or a temperature somewhere between 41°F and 140°F (5° and 60°C), time, oxygen requiring environment and some moisture. There is a acronym to help remember all six conditions, FATTOM. Six Conditions Bacteria Need to Multiply F Food - High in protein A Acid - pH of 4.6 to 7.0 T Temperature - 41º to 140ºF T Time - two hours, four hours, etc. O Oxygen - different oxygen requiring environments M Moisture - enough water or humidity References: Food Safety, (n.d.) sighted 6/11/2008 from http://isu.indstate.edu/ebermudez/hlth210/lessonseven.html J.
