Moulds able to grow on very dry foods are termed

  • A.halophilic
  • B.acidophilic
  • C.xerophilic
  • D.thermophilic

Answer: C

Xerophilic moulds grow at moisture levels far below those any bacterium can tolerate, which is why dried fruit, grain and spices spoil by moulding rather than by bacterial action. They set the practical limit for how dry a food must be kept.
