I would like to study if you can inhibit the growth of mold on bread by 
subjecting the bread to vibration (electric vibrator used for getting bubbles 
out of dental stone while mixing it in liquid form).  I want to compare the 
growth with and without vibration on moldy bread and also to see if vibrating 
fresh bread without mold will inhibit the initial growth of mold.
