Kimchi under the microscope

- Footage of kimchi as seen under the microscope. Kimchi is fermented cabbage, also known as Baechu kimchi. Many vegetables can be fermented to make kimchi, although cabbage kimchi is the most recognized worldwide.
Typo correction: at 0:48, it should be "breathe" not "breath".
I used two batches of kimchi. One was canned and the other was from a refrigerated jar. The canned kimchi had less microbes and allowed for the oil droplets to be more easily seen.
At the end of the video I used a tryptic soy agar petri dish to grow the microbes in kimchi. It was incubated for 24 hours at 37 degrees Celsius.
Camera - Nikon D3300
Microscope - Leica ATC 2000
Microscope magnification of each shot is shown in the bottom right hand corner.

Damn really? Never realized that! Subscribed.
No it's ugly
theturningpointgaming 3 can i hear ur music tho
the first time I heard it I the expired milk video, I knew I had to subscribe
BruhhItsAurora ooooh 🔥
Was this manufactured kimchi? I'd love to see the difference between this and homemade kimchi, particularly some that's been stored in a traditional pot underground during a Korean winter.
Yes, this is store bought kimchi. Different kimchi types, preparation methods and storage can result in different microbes growing. I don't know if I can get my hands on traditional korean pot kimchi but I will keep my eyes open.
@@sci-inspi Some korean markets make their own homemade kimchi. Really cool and also really tasty!
@@sci-inspi what was it that grew out of the liquid??? and from most of your vids and all the "healthy healing" foods(mostly ones containing good bacteria) i havent seen anything very benificial or unique to advertise them as healing.
@@joshuaallen6196 As far as I know consuming "good" bacteria can be very very beneficial to your gut and improving its health!
Interesting that this is store bought kimchi! I always thought kimchi kept in air-tight containers was 'finished', and didn't have much for live bacteria. I thought it was because if there was active bacteria and yeast still in it, gas was being produced that would fill the jars (potentially breaking glass ones). It's nice to know my store-bought stuff might still have beneficial flora in it.
seeing the tiny oil droplets is really interesting. i wonder what an emulsion like mayonnaise looks under a microscope, have you tried it before?
If I had a microscope I'd never leave the house....thank you for doing this it is really interesting.
Scopes are cheap and cool. If you want to see really crazy sights of the unperceivable. Try finding vids on Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) or a Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).....Tunneling Electron Microscopy (TEM) for individual atoms.
You'd need to leave the house to get more samples.
I used to have this handheld 50x magnifier with a built in lamp.
It was a blast to look at tobacco for example. It's like some weird lovecraftian nonsense.
Good tip: if you are a smoker, do spend the extra money on the good type...
Also, you can pick one up for a couple of bucks and just look at anything. It's a fun new perspective on this horrifying world.
Kinda like the opposite of a drone. Instead of making big things look small, it makes small things look big.
i work in a lab with microscopes. trust me as much as i love the scope, you start to get cross eyed and get tired eyes. still very fun, though! just make sure you have your eye drops ready :)
if you want a microscope, i know there are cheap options out there that don’t need immersion oil.
Man, I really love how simple and modest your channel is. The content is fascinating and engaging and the fact you record your own music just makes it even more special. Please keep doing what you're doing, man.
I never knew i would be mesmerized by a fermented cabbage
would love to see comparison between fresh and fermented cabbages under the microscope (for cell structure changes probably?), and also, do you isolate any microorganisms grown on the plate? anyways, nice video! :D
Sometimes I shut my eyes and let myself fall asleep to your ambient background music. The one you used in the spoiled milk video is my personal favorite
This is amazing. I love your contents. Both creative and educational!
the music is actually incredible, keep up the great work!
The music is just an added bonus to the already interesting video and on top of that the uploader made it! Damn hats off
I expected a lot more bacteria on the cabbage itself, looks a lot cleaner than I thought
the cabbage images were at low magnification
You cannot see regular bacteria at that magnification
2:24
"bacteria an yeast can also be seen everywhere"
It's fermented food just like yougurth bacteria is everywhere but good bacteria for our bodies nonetheless.
It was confirmed to be storebought kimchi.
2:11 that is an amazing picture
I agree. I was considering to take screenshot at that time
I saw this comment before I watched the video, but I hadn't clicked on the timestamp yet. I watched the video and paused exactly right here, thinking man, this is what he was talking about!
Yeah man, dope picture
new Iphone 12 wallpaper
hmmm kimchi fermented cabbage really do be containing cabbage veins....
Wow, thank you. I began eating here and there kimchi and I appreciate you shedding a little bit of light on this subject.
Fun fact: stomata actually means mouth in greek!
How was that fun?
@@aaronperez7522 Because it's fun to know about?
He never say fun anyway, he say fact
@@willythepool3812 hey get away from me, white knight. Also he edited his comment and removed "fun" from fun fact. Because he was scared.
@@nesty9289 no its not. That's a made up lie.
I hope to be as inspired as you someday. It’s so cool you record your own music
It's wonderful how in space things are clustered to become round and even in microscopic world it's the same.
Makes u wonder if our solar system and galaxy/neighbouring galaxies are tiny smaller-than-microscopic particles in a much bigger world. Like 'horton hears a who' but way way way way way smaller
@@50ulEat3r well, there's the theory of multiple different universes, and just our own observable universe is already incredibly vast and huge.
@Jk i agree. Our "truth" is objective truth because we live a human experience, we have no idea if everything we see is its true form or a byproduct to compensate for our limited brains. We cant even say the rainbow spectrum is all the colours in the universe, its only representation of all the colours WE can see. Mantis shrimp can see way more colours than we can.
Wow, the oil is really beautiful.
Why do u think gordon ramsay always using it?
😂😂😂😂😂
can you please do a video about a sterile compost/soil with microbial inoculants vs. normal garden soil? :) That would be very interesting.
I love your content. You are such a talented person, I hope that your channel grows more.
I really2 like when I can see the stomata, cells, and the other detail of the food, it's relaxing
Always watching with pleasure! Would like to see as well after cooking in soups, miso when raw and when cooked.
Your videos are the best scientific/microscopic videos ever, quality content
As a person who lives in Korea, which is the origin of modern kimchi, I really like this video!
I really wanted to know what Koreans thought of this video and if I did it justice. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
@@sci-inspi i think its very interesting XD i ate kimchi almost everyday but i didnt see kimchi under the microscope. Thx for this interesting vid
@@sci-inspi Actually, I want to point out that the yeast in kimchi doesn't really participate in the process of fermenting. The major part of the fermentation of kimchi is done by various species of Lactobacillus, which are facultative anaerobic microbes. So it is kinda crucial to maintain anaerobic surroundings for Kimchi to be fermented well, where yeast can't really thrive. Thus, if there are significantly many yeasts in Kimchi, it means either the kimchi isn't fermented very well, or it has been made quite long ago since yeasts gradually take the place of lactobacillus due to the change of pH.
@@user-vx6ue1ew1q Thank you for pointing this out. I bought this kimchi from a grocery store that was in a jar, which could show why the yeast grew so much over time.
As an Indian, I can say we LOVE Kimchi !! ...Proper homemade of course.
Can you do one on soy sauce or tofu? Both are fermented foods so I would be interested to see the microbes that are present in them.
The music behind, the guitar riffs, everything is so beautiful.
These fermenting bacteria produce vitamin B12, one of the only vegan sources of B12, as no plants have it, except some seaweeds. Hence, on a diet including kimchi may be entirely plant based
I never get tired of learning.
This world is so amazing...
I love your videos!!!
I came across this entirely by accident. I'm so glad I did.
I'm subscribing.
me too lol
Good information. Tried the same way to observe kimchi bacteria. Not easy. Thank you for the good images.
Many fermented food has such a great health benefits. Microbiomes in our stomach is soo important in our day to day lives
Me: See's cells* "we are awful for eating anything because everything is living." 🤦🏾♀️
I’m an entry level Microbiologist and you’re really making me want to get a microscope to play with haha
Aneesa H. Just don’t be fooled into buying a bad microscope just because it advertises as high magnification. You’ll see things that go upwards to 4000x but it means nothing.
Aneesa H. Rock on sister in STEM. I’m getting into toxicology.
You're pretty. 😍
Aneesa H. Lies
Agi Shrimpton I have nothing to prove to a random on the internet, my degree and MLS/CLS certification speak for me ☺️🥴
This was fantastic. Greeat job!
Would you guys make video about "oncom" and "tape" from Indonesia? Those are also fermented products
Nice video now you have a new subscriber
Also can I ask you two things
1) How you take the videos, the microscope has a camera or something similar?
2) For growing Kemchi it can be in plate count agar or is neccesary a specified type for it?
Hello!
1) I place my camera (a Nikon D3300 DSLR) on a tripod and put it right on the eye piece of a microscope and record through there.
2) I use 100 ul of sample on Tryptic Soy agar to grow microbes on all my videos so viewers can compare the growth between videos. Different media will grow different microbes.
I remember back in microbiology 151 lab where I took my digital camera and take a picture through one of the eyes of the microscope. It was pretty damn awesome...
Sci- Inspi I appreciate you so muchI know how hard it could be getting a lens to a microscope
Man food fermenting is amazing. Would also love to see the aspergillus oryzae used in making Sake, Miso and Soy Sauce.
I’m subscribing to you for some reason you just give off a really good and humble energy...
This was a really relaxing video, visually and aurally... It's good to watch before bedtime, haha
How about some raw food or some salad but for me i love kimche
As korean, I really enjoyed . I eat that kimchi every single day lol Thank you😆
Can you do beer under microscope? Just curious what it looks like :)
This is my first time watching and I’m obsessed with the guitar looping music. It’s really good
Would've been neat to see a side by side comparison of regular cabbage vs kimchi cabbage
I could make a wallpaper out of any part of rhis video, the oil droplets are the most beautiful tho
Even 0:00?
Specially that one XD
Man I couldn’t even focus because the music was too goood adding to my library
If you think this is good then just search up duggy music. Calm vibes also.

Your music is very soothing. Love it.
ngl I use your video music to do work. Your guitars are so relaxing, you can make a study music playlist for them.
My mother’s Korean and no one in her family has had any cancer. She’s 25 years older then me and people think she’s my wife she looks so young. In 45 years old.
Older "than" you, not "then". Don't be a dumbass.
@@slappy8941 don't be an asshole.
based nerd don’t tell them how to live
Slappy you live to correct people, don’t you
Somehow, I doubt that adding rotten cabbage to an American diet would render the same benefit.. 🤔
Is the bacteria on the red liquid drop good or bad? I share chopsticks with other people when I eat kimchi and its normal for koreans to do that.
They are good bacteria.
Dude. Seems like you're too sensitive about hygienic thing. Come on.. Human have immune system. Except if u have immunity disorder like AIDS or something like that..
Even if the bacteria is bad bacteria, we still can immune.
Remember. All food that come to our body have bad bacteria in it. Bread, soup, etc. It's just.. In small number. That's why the food doesn't rot. But if we put food especially the wet food on the open place or outside the refrigerator, they can suddenly rot. One of the factor is because the bacteria is already there but in small number. Bacteria and virus is everywhere. They're in air. So they can reach every place. Plus, it's also on our skin. From head to toe. And... They(bacteria, good and bad) also on our utensils. Plate, cup, glass, spoon, chopstick, etc.
Good. If not people wouldn't eat it lol
Dont share chopsticks.
Lactobacillus, same thing can be found on yogurts and yogurt drinks.
Seeing the microbial activity makes me wonder about one thing. Whenever I made some fermented food much like kimchi, I could leave it on the stove for several days in warm weather and it would be still good after a week (no refridgeration whatsoever). Not sure if all that acidity was responsible for it or if there was something more to it....
I'm glad you chose this music over dubstep. Its much more peaceful
man, i've pretty much memorized how a plant cell looks like from diagrams from school, but this was my first time seeing a stomata, and seeing just how much it looked like in the diagram was freakin surreal for some reason idk why
tl;dr: _just like the simulations!_
Ok, what am I actually doing here? TH-cam recommendations are very weird.
😁🤪indeed
No, bro, it's weirdly perfect.
Why is this so calming and chill?? XD the music though! Amazing! ❤️
@Sci- Inspi Hey can you try out neurons under a microscope or show some kind of representation how they'd look dividing?
If I had a microscope this is one of the things I would do.
electromagnetic fields 5g will stack our bloodcells up like coins allowing diseases to start microscope proof of truth .
Let's up the ante Sci- Inspi. We've had milk and kombucha....Time to bring Kefir to the Petri Dish ;0)
I like Kimchi so much. I’m glad I get to see it up close. Thanks.
Very nice, and the music is lovely.
Well as a korean..this is very interesting! Thank you and merry kimchimas !!
The best kimchi you can taste is homemade one in winter.
After 4 weeks it gets sour and full of taste and enzame.
I love kimchi. It looks so good up close and personal.
+Sci- Inspi can you do timelapse of blood coagulation in open air? If we let the blood in open air we can see it turns darker and darker until it's completely brownish in color, I meant I just I wanna see how exactly the red blood cells become dead.
* SATISFYING... *
I wonder what's ice looks like unde a microscope
The kimchi liquid you inspected looked dead, like the bacteria were only subject to brownian movement?
How do the lactic acid bacteria (as found in kimchi and other pickled vegetables) feed themselves?
How does fermentation affect the cabbage's cells?
What is the cellular structure of chilli pepper?
How do yeast cells divide? Where do they come from? How do they interact with the bacteria? Seems like a symbiotic relationship.
What organisms developed on the petri dish?
So many questions. Would love to learn more about the microbiology of fermentation.
This is beautiful especially the oil droplets
For a second, I thought I saw "kimchi, fermented 'GARBAGE'" 😂😂😂😂
Omg where do you get these anbient guitar songs
I made them with my guitar.
@@sci-inspi Start a band called "the microbes"
@@sci-inspi you're awesome!
man I loved this. keep doin always good stuff yo
Very cool looking. How about the liquid of yeast that's been mixed with sugar in milk, if that's possible.
Whoa, it's super cool to see this video as someone who eats this without thinking much of it everyday :D
So does this means everything we eat has bacteria or microbes in it?!?!
Everything has bacteria in it even us. Its not harmful because its normal flora. But some are opportunistic and become harmful when your immune system is compromised.
Pretty much, yeah
yes? lol
Some bacteria are good, some bacteria are bad. In this case, kimchi has "good" bacteria which helps the digestive tract of humans. That is why Kimichi is a very healthy food.
Without little frens, our stomach can not disgetive well
Thanks for sharing the video, I really enjoyed that. What was it at the end please?
Veldig fint sånn lydbilde :) Strukturen er også fin.
Microscope : get ready Oil drop I'm going to see what's inside you
Oil drop : f*** off bro under 1000x scope still you can see me only in 🔴🔴 only
😒
worst looking kimchi i've ever seen hands down 😂
Johnston Steiner what area you? A 12 year old on x box
@Johnston Steiner bruh be gone. Please?
Once I bought a kimchi box on sale, and it was worse than that dude. Imagine, the cabbage literally fell apart
Worst looking? Maybe, but I bet it taste great.
This video reminds me that I'm in need of more Kimchi. Got to make a new batch.
Joshua Chiang nice grammar btw.
Those microscopic oil droplets look so cool! That image would make good wallpaper~
the fermented things always look a serene little community for some reason
Soda under the microscope when you have the time, overall really cool video very interesting
Almost 100 likes
I could do it, but it might be boring as there probably wouldn't be any microbes or much else.
Sci- Inspi alright it’s fine. I really appreciate that you reply to your commenters like you did To me. You also have the best music keep it up man
Yea nothing inside soda water... just sugar and carbon gass
Do Everything I’ve never seen sugar under the microscope, really want to see it.
Yah Pepsi!!!
I thought the title was:
*Koichi* under the microscope
You can just see the molecules forming a *koichi pose*
@@harawi6153 crazy noisy bizarre kimchi
Do you have any recommendations for good microscopes that aren’t too expensive?
Thank you microbial buddies for helping make our food delicious! 🙏
Would love to see Miso or the Korean version, think it's called ddeonjang. The Korean version supposedly has more probiotics than standard miso. Thanks for your vids!
I'm actually surprised that the stomata still functions! Wow.
What even is kimchi
@@OreoThecat102 Spicy sour kraut. Lol
Hand after using a hand sanitizer plsss
I wanna see if the 99,9% of the bacteria got killed and to see if it is actually 00,1% left
I doubt that hand sanitizers kill 99.9% of bacteria... I've read somewhere (in some medical science article) than even the best hand sanitizers can kill (or remove) up to 83% of bacteria on our hands (the rest remain on our hands)... anyway it depends from the quantity (and quality) of the hand sanitizer, it depends from how dirty or clean your hands are, from how much time you'll spend rubbing your hands with the hand sanitizer, and from what percentage of your skin you'll cover with the sanitizer... But yeah, advertisements that claim that hand sanitizers kill 99.9% of bacteria are probably bullshit...
Fascinating! Kindly add on you fermented food under microscope playlist--- water kefir under microscope.. thank you!
What do you call that effect again where dead bacteria seems to be moving but isnt?
Brownian motion
Conclusion- you eat loads of bacteria
😂😂😂😭😭👍💓
After years I can proudly say, this world makes no sense
Could you do a video about tonsil stones under microscope?
I was stressed from work and now I'm home watching a video of kimchi under a microscope. I think my life is good.
I thought that i will be seeing a fatty acid and glycerols when it zoomed at the oil but nope. Not today
You probably already know that that's molecular level.
as a korean, i love this video! like if u like kimchi ( i dont :/)
I love cucumber n squid kimchi. Cabbage next
@@dreydubb9478 noice
I would like to see different types fo composts.
Traditional
Bokashi
Vermicompost
Etc.
How do you know which is bacteria and which is yeast ? Do they introduce themselves or what ?
If you keep zooming in you will eventually see yourself looking through a microscope.
how doesnt it get you sick
The microbes that grow are not pathogenic and won't get you sick if the kimchi was made properly. They are killed by your stomach, coexist in your gut or are pooped out.
@@sci-inspi
Great video! I love kimchi!
Little Jeff Beck sounding there...Nice.. Have made many many gallons of Kimchi, using at least 4 kinds of cabbage at different times and a dozen different vegetable combinations with the cabbage, spices, etc. Sometimes with fish sauce, shrimp paste, and even seaweeds.
