Does an open or covered container affect mold growth?
Well, if something that can grow mold is in a open container, it is more likely to grow mold because oxygen can get to it easier. If it is sealed, it is harder for oxygen to get through the seal.
Mold on expired bread?
Answer:To get moldy bread you have to let it sit out in the open or leave it out in a moist room for a few days. In the dust you will find tiny micro-organisms, and fungi will be among it.The type of fungi found in air is called a spore, and it has the same job as a dandelion seed. A spore will float around until it lands on something, and if that something is food, that spore will germinate and grow into a nice healthy fungus. In other words, if a piece of bread is left unprotected in the open air, germs and bacteria infect it and take over the whole bread. Bacteria will then form green or brown mold.Mold needs moisture and food to form. Moisture is important because mold grows faster when it is very moist. Controlling indoor moisture helps limit mold growth. Mold doesn't need a ton of water, you could put a piece of bread in a bathroom or around a window sill for mold to grow on it.Besides moisture, mold needs nutrients, or food, to grow. A fungus is a plant without chlorophyll. Because they don't have chlorophyll, fungi cannot receive energy directly from the sun. And now they have to live off plants or animals.Some fungi are parasites, always attacking something for nutrients. Most are scavengers turning organic matter into soil. Without fungi, many plants would die because they need rich soil to thrive. Fungi are flexible about food choices. They diet on a huge variety of organic molecules. Fungi produce a ton of digestive enzymes and acids, which dig into material as they grow over it.In bread, these enzymes break down the cell walls of organic material. Unlike us humans, mold digests first then eats.There are some kind of fungi that eat anything but metal. Special fungi that are produced through selective breeding, are sometimes used for clean up on special stuff.Though it does not necessarily need to be in the open, as I was doing an experiment where bread was in sealed zip-lock bags ... and they still got mold on them.
Which type of bread turns moldy first store bought or bakery?
Probably bakery bread because store bought is likely to have more preservatives in it. yea i say bakery too It proabably wouldn't because to grow mold on bread it can't have any preservatives in it..... :)
How do you mold fruit?
Grab your piece of food (Bread works too, which I would say is better to experiment mold with) and place it in a zip lock plastic bag or one of those that clip closed at the top. Seal the plastic and leave it somewhere out of harm's way. After a day or two you will notice that the fruit will start getting wrinkly and black (Or green from the mold Tricholoma on breads) and it will eventually become a black lump day by day. NEVER OPEN THE BAG UP ONCE THE MOLD HAS STARTED. After a week of first spotting the mold, dispose of the plastic bag with the fruit or bread STILL SEALED INSIDE carefully.
What is the procedure for mold growing on bread and cheese?
Procedure:Step 1: Wipe one of the two slices of bread on the kitchen bench or any other surface regularly used for food preparation. The second slice acts as a control for the first; it shows what would happen without wiping it on the surface. Step 2: Spray both slices very lightly with waterStep 3: Seal the slices in separate pieces of cling wrap or separate sandwich bags.Step 4: Place the wrapped bread slices somewhere warm and wait for the mold to grow. Once the difference between the two slices is significant enough, remove them and inspect the results.Step 5: Examine the mold colonies with a magnifying glass. Note that caution must be taken not to breathe in the dust from the mold colonies as it can cause medical complications.What is Happening?The mold colonies have ended up on the bread either from landing on the bread from the air, or as a result of being collected from the bench in the process of wiping. The difference in the quantity and types of mold present show that wiping the bread on the bench results in far greater mold growth as well as diversity.Possible Extension: School Activity to Test DisinfectantsThis bread mold experiment can be extended to test different brands of disinfectants. Student work benches such as those found in secondary school science laboratories are easily as dirty as a standard kitchen bench.To test different brands of disinfectants, divide a standard school bench into sections, one for each brand of disinfectant. Clean the bench section in accordance with the instructions on the bottle of disinfectant. Then wipe the treated area with a slice of bread and keep the bread as previously described. Repeat this process for as many different brands of disinfectant as are available.
