>> Nope, it's a Nematode that feeds on fungal hyphae that sometimes develops in vinegar. The stuff in Gatorade is usually fungal in nature; the gatorade is a bitt too acid to support good bacterial growth. >> When I was in camera club in high school, we used to keep stop bath, which is diluted glacial acetic acid, in a clear, one-gallon jar.
