A 10% bleach solution works.
A culture is done only when specific identification of the mold or yeast is necessary. The specimen is spread on a culture plate designed to grow fungi, then incubated. Several different biochemical tests and stains are used to identify molds and yeasts.
pencilin is used by fungi to kill bacteria.
Chlorine is a non-metal. It is used to kill fungi.
Neurospora crassa, or the common red mould is a fungi belonging to the fungal group Ascomycota.Evidence from 2000 stated that any member of the genus Neurospora are harmful. This genus of fungi are obligate aerobes, they need oxygen to carry out their metabolism, hence they can't live inside a human body, which lacks airation.Indeed, N. crassa is model organism, that is widely used as a research tool in genetics, physiology and biotechnology. It can only be harmful to plants, like corn or sugar cane.
Chlorophyll has nothing to do with fungi. Fungi is a type of simple plant that does not have any chlorophyll, which is a green pigment that is used in photosynthesis.

Both. There are unicellular fungi, like Saccharomyces cerevisae, the yeast used to fermentate sugars and produce beer, bread and wine. Moreover, there are multicellular fungi, like Agaricus bisporus, the Parisian mushroom, widely spread in food cravings.Unicellular fungi holds all yeasts, molds and some slime molds. Multicellular fungi holds mushrooms, toadstools, earthballs, some molds and some slime molds.

Molds are necessary in making soy sauce and blue cheeses like Roquefort. A mold called Rhizopus is used to produce the steroid drug cortisone. Molds and other fungi play a critical role as environmental decomposers, working to break down organic materials such as dead trees. Some molds are used in the industrial process because of the chemicals they produce. For example, the mold Aspergillus terreus is used in making plastic.
Fungi is definitely more useful than it is harmful. Yeast (which IS fungi) is used to convert sugar to alcohol in the making of beer and wine. Fungi is even used to make penicillin. Also club fungi is good for you too. The fungi that are bad for you can be Jockitch, Tiena, Candida, and ugaa
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.
Yes, moldy bread would be in the protista kingdom. Zygote fungus is in the protista kingdom and can cause bread to develop mold.
Potato dextrose agar is the most commonly used medium for growing fungi and bacteria. It is used for the cultivation of yeast and molds.
Conditions that make material harmful is that when it is used for harming/destroying/killing/polluting the environment and the people.
Some cheese are made with molds - Roquefort, Gorgonzola, and Brie are a few. But not all cheeses are made using mold. See Related Links.
Yeast - used to make bread Penicillin - used to make antibiotic medicines Mycorrhizae - the symbiotic associations that form between the roots of most plant species and fungi Mushrooms - good to eat wet/dry rot - fungi that get rid of dead wood so that the nutrients return to the soil.
Fungi is the word used to describe a whole group of organisms, just like "animals", "plants" or "bacteria". In fungi we can find mushrooms, toadstools, yeasts, molds and more.According to the newest classification, fungi are eukaryotic (genetic material surrounded by a membrane, i.e nucleus), haploid (only one set of cromosomes) or diploid (two sets of cromosomes) that make zygotic meiosis. Fungi are conjugating organisms, they fuse their cells in an arrengement called hypha. All the cell walls in fungi are primarily built with a molecule called chitin, but some have cellulose (like plants and some algae).All fungi reproduce by spores, all of them posses an asexual phase, but not every fungi is known to posses sexual phase. Also, fungi lack an autotrophic metabolism, instead, all fungi are heterochemiotrophic organisms, that is, they use organic and, minorly, inorganic molecules to produce their energy.Fungus (plural) refers to any member of a group of eukaryotic organisms like yeasts and molds
