Detailed explanation-1: -The factors responsible for the rapid spreading of bread mould on slices of bread are the presence of a large number of spores in the air and the presence of moisture and nutrients in bread that act as food for the fungi.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bread mold grows profusely on a moist slice of bread rather than on a dry slice of bread because microorganisms need optimum temperature and moisture to grow and if there is no moisture they will not grow profusely.
Detailed explanation-3: -Rhizopus stolonifer is commonly known as white bread mold. It is a member of Zygomycota and considered the most important species in the genus Rhizopus. It is one of the most common fungi in the world and has a global distribution although it is most commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions.
