This mould does not however, benefit from the death of the bacteria in anyway. It is identified by the greenish, blueish and yellowish spores created with these spores being found everywhere, from the air to the soil.

Spoilt bread contains the fungi penicillium which creates penicillin. This fungi then destroys the bacteria that is found within the bread. ]]> 2016-04-27 05:02:30 UTC https://padlet.com/elisegrant924/3sxzice8vxw4/wish/107939390 elisegrant924 https://padlet.com/elisegrant924/3sxzice8vxw4/wish/108586328 Amensalism is a type of competition where one organism is inhibited or harmed and the other organism is neither harmed or inhibited. Therefore this relationship is detrimental to one species  and for another species, has a neutral effect.

Amensalism also explains the situation where one organism secretes a poison that kills the other organism. However the organism that secretes the poison remains unharmed.]]> 2016-04-30 10:34:11 UTC https://padlet.com/elisegrant924/3sxzice8vxw4/wish/108586328 elisegrant924 https://padlet.com/elisegrant924/3sxzice8vxw4/wish/108587227 Examples of Amensalism are tall trees that dramatically reduce the amount of sunlight that reaches the ground beneath it, therefore killing or severely decreasing a species population as the grasses or such plants do not have adequate light to grow.

Another example is the relationship between the mood penicillium and bread with the bread being the one harmed in the relationship.]]> 2016-04-30 11:01:58 UTC https://padlet.com/elisegrant924/3sxzice8vxw4/wish/108587227 elisegrant924 https://padlet.com/elisegrant924/3sxzice8vxw4/wish/108587848 Abigail's Bakery, Bread Mold Causes, retrieved 1/05/16, http://www.abigailsbakery.com/bread-recipes/bread-mold-causes.htm

Due to this, there is an abundance of the spores. 

As for bread it has a very short lifespan due to these spores infecting the bread as once they settle on the loaf, the spore begins to grow. ]]> 2016-04-30 11:43:16 UTC https://padlet.com/elisegrant924/3sxzice8vxw4/wish/108588049 elisegrant924 https://padlet.com/elisegrant924/3sxzice8vxw4/wish/108704725 2016-05-02 08:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/elisegrant924/3sxzice8vxw4/wish/108704725 elisegrant924 https://padlet.com/elisegrant924/3sxzice8vxw4/wish/108704746 2016-05-02 08:51:55 UTC https://padlet.com/elisegrant924/3sxzice8vxw4/wish/108704746 elisegrant924 https://padlet.com/elisegrant924/3sxzice8vxw4/wish/108705663 In this relationship between bread and penicillium, the bread is the one that is effected as the penicillin (which is created by the Penicillium) destroys the bacteria within the bread. The Penicillium however neither benefits or is affected by this process.]]> 2016-05-02 09:00:33 UTC https://padlet.com/elisegrant924/3sxzice8vxw4/wish/108705663 elisegrant924 https://padlet.com/elisegrant924/3sxzice8vxw4/wish/108707259 Bread is found in most households as it is a a staple in every house. Penicillium spores however are found everywhere. They are in the air around us but can also settle in dust, etc. before it settles on bread where it can start destroying the bacteria in the bread.]]> 2016-05-02 09:16:31 UTC https://padlet.com/elisegrant924/3sxzice8vxw4/wish/108707259
