Bread mold is a fungus known as rhizopus stolonifer. It is identified as a "sporangium fungi" or common mold. Bread mold has an asexual reproductive structure called sporangium, and it produces sporangiospores for reproduction. This mold is has columnar hemispherical aerial sporangia anchored by rhizoids which also release digestive enzymes and absorb food that helps the mold grow. The cells are enclosed in membranes and organized into complex structures. These cells have chitenous cell walls. It is heterotrophic and filamentous, lacks chlorophyll, and is non-motile. Bread mold is considered saprophytic and parasitic. Bread mold grows very quickly and has wide hyphae. The hyphae lacks septa or is coenocyte. It has a columella which is a swollen growth on the sporangiophore that looks like a balloon has been inflated in the sporangium.Domain: Eukarya Kingdom: Fungi Phylum: Zygomycota Class: Zygomycetes Order: MucoralesFamily: MucoraceaeGenus: Rhizopus Species: Rhizopus stolonifer

Does mold grow faster on store bought bread or homemade bread?

The purpose of the experiment was to discover how the type of bread affected the amount of mold. The bread was cut and placed in separate Ziploc bags. The bread was measured for mold every day and was recorded on the data sheet. My hypothesis was "If the white, wheat, whole wheat, sourdough, and sweet bread were placed in Ziploc bags and left for 20 days, then the sweet bread would grow the most mold because the sweet bread had the most energy (sugar) that the mold can use to grow." Whole Wheat bread was the type of bread that grew the most mold, while white, wheat, and sourdough did not grow any mold. When Whole Wheat bread was left to mold, it grew an average of 60.91 square cm. When sweet bread was left to mold, it grew an average of .58 square cm. of mold. When white, wheat, and sourdough were left to mold, they grew no visible mold.

Why does wheat bread mold faster than other breads?

If in your experiment, whole wheat bread has molded faster than other breads, you should look at the ingredients used to make the bread and the processing conditions where the bread was produced. The wheat bread could have been exposed to more mold to begin with or the other breads may have used mold inhibitors.
