  • Microscopic video of a vinegar mother.
    Media used in the previous video is tryptic soy agar (TSA). TSA can grew some acetic acid bacteria, but the bacteria in the vinegar didn't. I assumed that meant they were dead, but this shows I was wrong and they are alive.
    Camera - Nikon D3300
    Microscopes - Leica ATC 2000
    Microscope magnification of each shot is shown in the bottom right hand corner.

    I remember a "mother" formed in one of my salad dressings about a year ago and I thought my dressing had gone bad way before the expiration. After searching if it was still okay to use on salad, I found it was called a mother and that people consider them very lucky. Cool video!

      @@mhl653 The reason might be that you can use the mother of vinegar as a cultivation colony to produce more batches of vinegar, much like bacteria colonies in yogurt. It's not a bad thing, it's just the bacteria that make vinegar what it is.

    Wow, this brought back a memory of something I had completely forgotten about! I was probably 8 years old and I remember my brother (5 yo) and I finding a blob of something that looked exactly like that and it covered the entire bottom of the jar. I don’t remember what we found it in. We poked at it for like an hour, wondering what in the world it was, smelling it (it was vinegary), touching it, squishing it, holding it up to the light…. Now I know!

    my favorite part of this video is around 3:00. Just previous to this he says that cellulose is responsible for holding the bacteria together, but that cellulose is not viewable by optical microscope so we can't see it, only it's effects. This is so clear at the 3 minute mark you see the bacteria moving as if laying on a wavy sheet of the invisible material. Way cool.

    My dad would buy the really big bottles, and I would slowly drink them over the course of a day or two. Well one time I left it sit out over night, and the next day there was an almost clear substance floating near the bottom of the bottle. My dad, being a biology teacher, assumed it was some kind of collection of bacteria, but didn't actually know what it was. Had me throw it out, and I always wondered what it actually was.
