Science classes often use bread mold for experiments. It contains a very interesting kind of fungus that grows very quickly and can even reproduce. While moldy bread is usually thrown away because you can't eat it, the mold fungus was found by the scientist Alexander Fleming to have a very important purpose: it could be transformed into a medicine that kills germs, which today we call Penicillin. Some molds can also be turned into flavoring for such foods as soy sauce or blue cheese.
