old.
but it depends on what kind you get.
-Krista thanks Krista - real uselesss response. Molds grow better on moist bread but that means fresh bread and that still has enough preservative (organic acid) to inhibit mold. Dry bread too much and no mold will grow. so the answer is moderately old.
Yes, bread mold can reproduce through the formation of spores. These spores are released into the air and can land on new surfaces, where they can germinate and grow under favorable conditions. Mold growth on bread can be prevented by storing it in a cool, dry place and avoiding moisture buildup.
The air would help mold grow but very slowly. In a week when air helps a new sort of mold so what I'm saying is Yes it does help but in a cery slow proggress...
The reproductive structure of a bread mold is called a sporangium. A sporangium is a sac-like structure that contains spores, which are reproductive cells capable of developing into new organisms. When the sporangium bursts, the spores are released into the environment, where they can germinate and grow under favorable conditions.
Bread mold undergoes both mitosis and meiosis during its life cycle. Mitosis is responsible for growth and asexual reproduction, while meiosis is involved in sexual reproduction to produce spores for genetic variability. Mold spores are then released to spread and germinate into new mold colonies.
Mold in your boots...?I'd suggest buying a new pair and taking better care of them.
That would depend upon what the goal would be. If it is to help a youngster learn how to put together a science project, it could be worthwhile. Unless you have a particularly new twist on bread mold, it is a very common experiment and has been beaten to death. There is plenty of research material out there already which should be able to give you an answer.
potatoes man,its potatoes....go to school and learn this crap! Creativity means a new way of looking at something, a new way of categorizing. When you look at the bacterial culture and you notice that the bacteria is pushed off by the bread mold, you get angry because now you have to grow a new bacteria culture. No, not if your are Dr. Fleming. Instead, you wonder why the mold pushes off the bacteria. Could mold make something that kills bacteria? The Penicillin story, a step in creativity...
they should be alright if you take the moldy bits off, but I wouldn't recommend it because there could still be fungi on the bread and that fungi could spread. Just go to the store and buy a new loaf of bread
Yes, because the fungus may have multiplied in the bag and has grown and will infect the new bread faster.
In sexual reproduction a bread mold reproduces when each parent contributes half of the DNA necessary to form the offspring a zygote appears as a result of sexual reproduction and when the two halves join together the offspring can begin development
Bread going moldy is considered a chemical change because it involves the transformation of the bread's composition through microbial activity. Mold, a type of fungus, breaks down the carbohydrates and proteins in the bread, leading to the formation of new substances and changes in texture, flavor, and appearance. This process is irreversible; once the bread has molded, it cannot return to its original state. Therefore, the mold growth signifies a fundamental chemical alteration in the bread.
Yeast are not a natural grouping. The yeast growth form has arisen a couple times in the evolutionary history of the fungi. Any unicellular fungus that reproduces primarily by budding or fission is called a yeast.
