WikiAnswers - Does mold grow faster white bread wheat bread or multi-grain bread

  • Mould would grow the fastest on the Wheat Bread since it has no preservatives. second in number would be Multi-grain bread and the last would be White bread.


    Mould Growth Speed: -


    Fastest --- Wheat/brown bread.


    second fastest --- multi grain bread


    slowest --- White bread


    More information



    There is no way that anyone can tell you which will mold the fastest since we don't know all the variables, like moisture, the formulation of the bread or the conditions under which they were produced. In the U.S., all breads could have preservatives. And white bread is a wheat bread.


    Given that white flour is 'cleaned up' - bran and germ removed - it would seem logical that those exterior parts of the grain would carry more mold and that white flour would then naturally contain less mold than a whole grain flour. But if the white flour is milled and packaged in a facility where sanitation is poorly controlled or the grain was of poor quality, the mold might not be greatly reduced.

Paperless Tiger « buckenglish

  • While these paper management questions are logical, legitimate questions to ask, I will suggest that as teachers we should be asking instead, must we continue to think of our role as paper creators, paper controllers, paper graders?  I say without a doubt, no!
    • How does a teacher go paperless? I like the fact that she used the word creator here to define the role of the teacher. - on 2009-03-22

  • So how does an English teacher, of all people, go paperless?  How can other teachers do it?  It is simple.  Just change everything you know and believe about how class is run and then the paper doesn’t seem like such a big deal.
    • What a profound statement- so hard to do though. - on 2009-03-22

  • When I share the fact of my newly declared paperlessness with other teachers, they usually ask how I am facilitating the exchange of handouts and how I am grading student work.  Teachers in my twitter network want to know if I am using Google docs for the paper shuffle.  While these paper management questions are logical, legitimate questions to ask, I will suggest that as teachers we should be asking instead, must we continue to think of our role as paper creators, paper controllers, paper graders?  I say without a doubt, no!  If, however, paper is removed from the list of roles just stated, the teacher remains as creator, controller, and grader; in order for true innovation to occur these long-standing teacher titles must, like the paper piles, be banished from the classroom.

Introduction to the Bacteria

  • Bacteria are often maligned as the causes of human and animal
    disease (like this one, Leptospira, which causes
    serious disease in livestock). However, certain bacteria,
    the actinomycetes, produce
    antibiotics such as streptomycin and nocardicin; others live symbiotically
    in the guts of animals (including humans) or elsewhere in their bodies, or
    on the roots of certain plants, converting nitrogen into a usable form.
    Bacteria put the tang in yogurt and the sour in sourdough bread; bacteria
    help to break down dead organic matter; bacteria make up the base of the
    food web in many environments. Bacteria are of such immense importance
    because of their extreme flexibility, capacity for rapid growth and
    reproduction, and great age - the oldest fossils known, nearly 3.5 billion
    years old, are fossils of bacteria-like organisms.

Collaborative Classrooms & Web2.0 «

  • Project Based Learning uses a ‘Social Contructavist’ approach to learning. This can happen in a single classroom - and much of what I am interested in is generally called ‘Collaborative Learning’


    Social Constructivism is the label given to a set of theories about learning which fall somewhere between cognitive and humanistic views. If behaviorism treats the organism as a black box, cognitive theory recognises the importance of the mind in making sense of the material with which it is presented. Nevertheless, it still presupposes that the role of the learner is primarily to assimilate whatever the teacher presents. Constructivism — particularly in its “social” forms — suggests that the learner is much more actively involved in a joint enterprise with the
