Does mould reproduce from spores?

Yes, mould reproduces by releasing spores into the environment. These spores can travel through the air and land on surfaces where they can grow and form new mould colonies under the right conditions.


What happens to mould growth when you change the amount of moisture?

Mould growth increases when moisture levels are higher because mould spores need water to germinate and thrive. Conversely, reducing moisture levels can inhibit mould growth as it makes the environment less conducive for spores to develop. Mold spores are everywhere, but without sufficient moisture, they typically remain inactive.


What did sir Alexander Fleming discover?

In 1928, Fleming was working on the staphylococcibacteria - the kind that cause boils and sore throats, when, whilst he was examining some old bacterial plates that he noticed a mould had grown on one of his cultures. He saw what he believed was unusual in that some of the colonies of staphylococci that should have been growing near the mould had disappeared. Fleming thought that the mould could be making something that was capable of destroying the bacteria. He did some more experiments and found that this was indeed the case. He cultured the mould by growing it in broth. The mould was later identified as Penicillium notatum which had produced what we now call penicillin.


Explain why covering and refrigerating food helps to reduce spoilage from moulds?

Covering food helps to prevent exposure to mould spores in the environment, while refrigeration slows down the growth of mould by reducing the temperature and limiting moisture. This combination inhibits mould spores from germinating and multiplying, thus reducing the likelihood of spoilage.
