Introduction
We are testing the affect of substances on bread mould growth. The question we’re hoping to carry out is what antiseptic and cleaning substances would have on the effect of the growth of bread mould. And whether it would inhibit the mould, increase the growth of the mould or have no effect at all.
Hypothesises: it is expected that antiseptic substances such as Jik, Mr Muscle and Handy Andy will inhibit the growth of fungi, as these antiseptic substances will effectively stop the growth of fungi.
Aim: to determine the effect of household substances, such as Jik, Mr Muscle and Handy Andy on the growth of bread mould.
The bread mould will be grown and the household substances will be provided. Factors affecting the growth of fungi …show more content…
Their experiment was aimed to determine the effect of substances such as Dettol and Savlon on the growth of the fungi – Candidia albicans. Their hypothesis was that Dettol would stop the growth of the fungi or slow it down because of its main substances, and that Savlon would have little to no effect on the fungal growth, the conclusion was correct as Dettol stopped the growth and Savlon had no effect at all.
There was a research paper similar to the one by Mahmood et al(2008)(3), which was from the same journal it was done by Emeka et al 2007 where they were testing the effect of Methylated Spirits, Jik and Dettol on bacterial and fungal growth.
Their experiment was to determine the effect of certain types of antimicrobial substances on bacteria and fungus; they tested Methylated spirits, Jik and Dettol. They expected that Methylayted Spirits would inhibit both substances and Dettol would only affect the fungi and not the bacteria. The conclusion was correct as Methylated Spirits did inhibit the growth of …show more content…
Results
Changes in fungal development with the addition of Jik, Handy Andy, Mr Muscle Petri dish A Petri dish B Petri dish C Petri dish D
12 hours no change No distinct change No distinct change No distinct change
24 hours No change Slight decrease Slight decrease Slight decrease
36 hours No change Green coloration decreases Green colouration decreases No change
48 hours No change Mould starts to detach Green coloration decreases Slight decrease
Discussion
With the results that were acquired from the experiment, in addition to the hypothesis and literature review, some results correlated and others didn’t. petri dish B with jik added to the mould seems to have most change, by decreasing the mould growth and therefore detaching itself. In the review of Emeka et al, in this experiment they tested Jik, Methylated Spirits and Dettol. Methylated Spirits did have a more significant change on the fungal growth than the others did. But nonetheless Jik did have some affect. It was expected that Petri Dish A in which water was added would have little to no effect at all as it was the Control of the experiment. Further research would be advised in addition to the literature review. More research about each individual experiment reviewed could have benefitted. Most of the results do reflect the hypothesis, as water had no effect at all as it was the control, and Jik having the most effect on fungal
