 What is Rhizopus nigricans?
Rhizopus nigricans is a type of black mold which
is known to grow on bread, therefore known as
breadmold. It is a member of the genus Rhizopus,
which contains fungi with columnar
hemispherical aerial sporangia anchored to the
substrate by rhizoids. It can also cause infection if
not taken care of properly. It may cause allergetic
reactions. Rhizopus nigricans is a spore that floats
around in air. It is a known producer of allergens.

Rhizopus is closely related to Mucor and
inhabits the same ecological niches.R.
nigricans is one of the most common
members of the Mucorates and has a
worldwide distribution, although most
commonly occurring in warmer areas. It
has frequently been reported from dry
habitats. The spores are dispersed in hot,
dry weather.

 Bread Mold Lifecycle
Bread mold has a very simple lifecycle. It
appears on the bread surface as a wind blown
spore. With adequate moisture and nutrients
from the bread, this spore sprouts and grows hair
like structures on the bread surface. Once the
mold attains a particular growth with paint brush
like structures, it starts producing fruiting
structures. These structures, sometimes called
conidia, contain spores that are blown by wind
and spreads to other bread surfaces.
