Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Acetobacter bacteria, SEM
Vinegar-forming bacteria. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Acetobacter aceti bacteria, which are used in the production of vinegar. These rod-shaped Gram-negative bacteria are found on fruits and flowers. They are responsible for the spoilage of wine and beer. They break down alcohol (ethanol) into ethanoic (acetic) acid, which is responsible for the sour taste of vinegar. They have been used in industry to turn wine, beer and spirits into wine vinegar, malt vinegar and spirit vinegar. Magnification: x9300 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of Acetobacter bacteria, known for their role in vinegar production. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we get a closer look at these rod-shaped Gram-negative bacteria that can be found on fruits and flowers. While they may seem harmless, these tiny organisms are responsible for the spoilage of wine and beer. The secret behind their notorious reputation lies in their ability to break down alcohol, specifically ethanol, into ethanoic acid or acetic acid. This chemical transformation is what gives vinegar its distinct sour taste. Not only have these bacteria been instrumental in creating this beloved condiment but also in various industrial processes. Thanks to their remarkable skills, Acetobacter aceti has played a significant role in turning wine, beer, and spirits into different types of vinegars such as wine vinegar, malt vinegar, and spirit vinegar. With a magnification level of x9300 at 6x7cm size, this SEM image offers us an up-close view of these fascinating microbes. While they may cause food spoilage if left unchecked in certain contexts like winemaking or brewing industries, it's hard not to appreciate the beauty within even the tiniest organisms that shape our culinary experiences.
