Detailed Description

Red bread mould. Commonly used for genetics and growth experiments. Keep in the fridge to restrict its growth, and keep the slope culture inside a tightly-sealed plastic bag to prevent the spores from contaminating your fridge. Grow on glucose nutrient agar or potato starch agar. Note: there is a risk of allergy/asthma if large numbers of spores are inhaled.
