Microbiology
Microbiology is the study of all
living organisms that are too small to be visible with the naked eye. This
includes bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi, prions, protozoa and algae,
collectively known as 'microbes'. These microbes play key roles in nutrient
cycling, biodegradation/bio deterioration, climate change, food spoilage, the
cause and control of disease, and biotechnology. Thanks to their versatility,
microbes can be put to work in many ways: making life-saving drugs, the
manufacture of biofuels, cleaning up pollution, and producing/processing food
and drink.
