Black bread mold, Rhizopus stolonifer, is not a sac fungi but a zygospore fungi or zygomycota. Red bread molds (neurospora) are in fact sac fungi/ascomycota. They are a form of sexual sac fungi (along with truffles). (from the Mader Biology textbook 10th edition. copyright 2010. Mc-Graw Hill companies)
Mould spores are all around us, in the air and on the ground. When some of these spores make contact with bread, it sets the scene for mould growth. the mould grows faster under certain conditions, such as moisture and warmth.
MOLD IS A CONSUMER?
bread mold is not in fact a plant. it is just simply mold composed of fungi. Mold is made out of many many microscopic fungi tubes that inter-twine with each other as they absorb nutrients from the host. the mold releases spores into the air and eventially these spores land on another nutrient filled candidate and begin growing. plants need male and female in order to become pollinated and produce flowering bodies to replicate. molds however do not need these because they are composed of fungi, wich is comepletly different then a plant.
Some molds are dangerous, in fact, to my knowledge, most are. Some are used for medicines, such as penicillin, which is used to combat many sicknesses. Others are very dangerous, such as black mold, which will grow in damp places in places such as indoors. Most molds on foods are forms of penicillin, but it is not wise to eat it. -Molds can be toxic in high amounts. Not all black mold is is dangerous, however stachybotrys chartarum is dangerous in very small amounts. It is a blackish slimy mold, and it's spores do not become airborn easily.
well I accidentally left a mug of green tea for a week, and yes it did in fact have mold growing on the surface
Yes in fact I recently justgotdone doing a experiment on rotting on strawberries and outcomes say both mold and rot were present
any bread molds after about a week if you want it to mold faster keep it damp...if you want it to mold less keep it dry...little fun fact no preservative wheat bread molds the fastest
Wood fencing does in fact mold easier. Mostly due to the fact that it is constantly in contact with the outside world and things such as rain weaken it and make it susceptible to things such as mold over time. It may last longer if you paint and prime your fence in order to give it a seal and some protection.
mostly oxygen and the yeast, due to the fact yeast is a living organism
Yes, there are some types of bugs that do in fact eat mold. There are also insects that dine on mildew and other things which grow in and out of the home.
yes. in fact, the only food mould doesn't grow on is honey!
Yes . In fact, a type of LSD can be found in moldy rye.
Yes colby jack cheese molds all cheese mold in fact i just did an experiment and it grows a blue like mold talk about yuk but please tell me you are kinding it is common sense well i hope i was able to help have a good day u hear
The reason that bread kept at room temperature molds faster then bread kept in the fridge is due to the fact that warmer temperatures promote mold to grow. Mold flourishes in room temperature and has a harder time in colder climates.Yes, it would be much slower to mold kept refrigerated, but it will also dry the bread out more quickly.
Yes. In fact, when plating food samples for microbiological testing, the media is acidified to prevent the over-growth of bacteria while waiting for the mold to grow. It doesn't seem to stop the yeast, though.
MOLD is made of mold
