Most bread molds of the genus Penicillium, which readily grow on bread, produce the antibiotic Penicillin, which has been used for several millennia to heal wounds! Penicillin kills Gram-Positive bacteria, although modern-day resistant strains outnumber strains it is effective against by a ratio of 9 to 1!
Louis Pasteur, although not the first to discover the antimicrobial qualities of this substance, famously ran an experiment that was mistakenly contaminated with the substance and was observed to kill bacterial cultures of Anthracis bacillus when applied near the active colonies.

What types of bread will mold grow fastest on?
Mold needs a few factors to grow1) high humidity2) warm temperatures3) food sourceIf you were to keep humidity and temperature constant, I would say that wheat bread would grow mold faster. Rye bread is often more acidic because Lactobacillus maybe used in the dough raising process. The anaerobic respiration of lactobacillus can mean higher acidity of the dough and therefore a lower pH value.Mold will grow quicker on white bread than it will grow on rye or plain brown wheat bread.It also depends on the formulation of the bread, whether or not it contains artificial or natural preservatives, the quality of the ingredients - and their original state of freshness - and then, of course, the conditions under which the bread was produced and the conditions in which it is being stored.It depends on what moldy environment you'd prefer to keep your bread in my friends...Put five to 10 drops of water on the piece of bread and store in a warm, dark place.After 5 to 10 days, you should notice some fuzzy white, black, orange or green spots on the bread. Once visible, the mold will grow noticeably each day.
