Turbatrix aceti

[2] Vinegar eels are often given to fry (baby fish) as a live food, like microworms.

[4] Manufacturers normally filter and pasteurize their product prior to bottling, destroying the live bacterial and yeast culture that these nematodes require for sustenance.

At high concentration near a boundary, vinegar eels synchronize their undulations, forming a collective wave.

[5][6] Aging in T. aceti is associated with a decline in the ability to repair DNA damage,[7][8] a finding that is consistent with the theory that DNA damage contributes to aging.
