Kinda funny that you got the kingdoms backwards there. Cheese is cultured by bacteria, not mold(a fungus). Bread is leavened by yeast(a fungus) not bacteria.

- tomjakubowski 2y agoCheeses grow mold, too. In some cases it's intentional or even desirable. And see my sibling comment about bacterially-leavened bread.
- goda90 2y agoWell the mold is just an add-on to the cheese in those cases, not the cause of it becoming cheese.
- kragen 2y agorennin is the cause of it becoming cheese, except for acid-curdled cheeses like paneer. bacteria and mold don't have much to do with it, traditionally, although nowadays you can buy vegan rennin made by genetically engineered bacteria instead of extracted from the stomachs of slaughtered calves
