Photo Prints from Science Photo Library
White bread mould, SEM
White bread mould. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the fruiting bodies of two types of mould growing on white bread. The moulds are Penicillium sp. and Mucor mucedo. Spores from these moulds circulate freely in the air. On a favourable medium, they germinate and form an extensive network of threads (hyphae) that absorb food for growth and spore production. The Mucor spores are borne in the sac-like bodies seen, which are called sporangia. The Penicillium spores, known as conidia, are borne directly on special hyphae called conidiophores.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of white bread mould, revealing a mesmerizing display of nature's decay and fungal growth. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are presented with the fruiting bodies of two distinct types of mould thriving on a slice of white bread. The first type is Penicillium sp. , known for its characteristic blue-green appearance in other contexts. Its spores, called conidia, are directly borne on specialized hyphae called conidiophores. The second type is Mucor mucedo, whose spores are housed within sac-like structures known as sporangia. Both these moulds have their own unique way of spreading through the air; their microscopic spores circulate freely, waiting for a favorable environment to germinate and initiate an extensive network of threads called hyphae. These hyphae serve as conduits for absorbing nutrients necessary for growth and eventual spore production. In this image, we witness the remarkable complexity and beauty that lies within seemingly mundane objects like bread. The filaments intertwine to form an intricate net-like structure that serves as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of fungi in our ecosystem. With a magnification factor of 40 times at 6x7cm size, this SEM snapshot allows us to appreciate the hidden world teeming with life even in unexpected places such as decaying food items. It reminds us that there is always more than meets the eye when it comes to exploring nature's
