Molds are fungi that are found everywhere – both indoors and outdoors all year round. The terms fungi and mold are often used interchangeably‚ but mold is actually a type of fungi. Concern about indoor exposure to mold has increased along with public awareness that exposure to mold can cause a variety of adverse health effects. There are many thousands of species of mold and most if not all of the mold found indoors comes from outdoor sources. It seems likely to grow and become a problem only when

find out how mold happens. Mold happens when bread is left out in moist areas. Mold grows because it seeks moisture warmth and food. Mold forms because in dust there are tiny micro-organisms and fungi along with it. The type of fungi found in air is called a spore‚ and it does the same thing as the dandelion seeds when you blow them in the air. A spore will float around until it lands on something and if that something is food‚ that spore will germinate and grow into a fungus. Mold happens in places

Title: Bread Mold Lab Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to test the effect of water on bread mold growth. Hypothesis: I hypothesized bread mold would grow faster if the bread was exposed to water. Materials: 1. Bread 2. Plastic cup 3. Water 4. Rubber band 5. Plastic wrap 6. Light 7. Scale 8. Seizers Procedures: Day 1 1. Cut two pieces of bread 1 by 1 2. Place the beard in two separate cups 3. Put 11 drops of water on one of the pieces of bread

Environment ’s effect on Growth of Bread Molds I. INTRODUCTION A. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Molds are species of fungi. There are many different kinds of molds‚ some of which are specially adapted to grow in particular environments or on particular surfaces. Unlike plants‚ molds cannot produce their own food‚ so they need an external source of energy and nutrients. Molds (and mildew) are fungi. Fungi are neither plant nor animal but‚ since 1969‚ have their own kingdom. The fungi kingdom

BACKGROUND RESEARCH Mold is a type of fungus that grows on plant and food and is most often associated with damp‚ musty locations such as bathrooms‚ basements‚ and attics. Mold travels through the air as tiny spores which like to make their home in wet areas‚ where they will breed. If mold is spotted‚ it is best to take care of it right away so that it does not spread to other areas. It is also a good indication of a moisture problem. In addition to molds ugly appearance‚ it can also

a method that allows further growth of fungal mycelia on prepared baits. Major groups of fungi isolated using baiting techniques are those from Kingdom Chromista‚ particularly in the Class Oomycetes. The Oomycetes or “egg fungi”‚ also called water molds were previously grouped with fungi based on their filamentous growth and the presence of coenocytic hyphae‚ one of the morphological traits and characteristic of fungi. However‚ their life cycle‚ unlike that of many fungi‚ includes a diploid‚ asexually

In today’s laboratory session you will examine some common molds and attempt to identify them. While the identification of bacteria relies heavily on biochemical testing‚ the identification of molds tends to focus on their structural features. You will examine the appearance of growing cultures of several different molds and then

Kentaurus Webster Ms. Mulvanny 8th Grade Science December 13‚ 2012 What Causes Mold on bread? The question I am trying to answer is what causes mold on bread. I think that mold is fungus. Mold spores are everywhere: in the air‚ on your kitchen counters‚ on your skin etc. Mold likes to grow in environments where they can find nutrients like bread. When mold spores find a nice environment‚ they "hatch" and then begin to eat and reproduce. This is when you see the lovely green and white fuzz
