There are two possible interpretations for "the mould effect" depending on context:

  1. The discovery related to the antibacterial action of mold (the "mould effect" in medicine) was made by Alexander Fleming in 1928. He observed that a mold, later identified as Penicillium notatum, produced a substance that killed bacteria, which he named penicillin. This discovery led to the development of the world's first antibiotic and revolutionized medicine.
  1. Another scientific phenomenon known as the "Mould effect," related to the chain fountain or self-siphoning of a chain, was discovered and popularized by Steve Mould, who showcased the effect on YouTube.

Could you please clarify which "mould effect" you are asking about? The antibiotic discovery by Fleming or the physical phenomenon related to the chain?
