Common Molds
![Picture](/uploads/5/0/4/0/50409869/3300722_orig.png)
Habitat:
They live near water and in moist areas due to their lack of vascular system.
Milestones:
Eukaryotic
Anatomical Features:
-Hyphae
-Cell walls of chitin
Eating and Fleeting:
Mold can gain energy from practically any substance with carbon in it. Some bacteria have the ability to digest mold.
Symmetry:
Radial, bilateral, or asymmetrical
Mobility:
Does not move
Reproduction:
Reproduce with asexual spores that can grow very rapidly.
Development:
After spores begin to spread, mold will grow very rapidly compared to other fungi.
Examples:
-Mortierella romanniana
-Mortierella vinacea
-Mucor indicus
Other Information:
-Molds and yeasts are the perfect balance to each other. Yeasts are single celled fungi that make bread, and molds are multi celled fungi that decay bread.
