Microbiology is the study of microorganisms, those being unicellular (single cell), multicellular (cell colony), or acellular (lacking cells).

2.  Microbiology is the study of microorganisms,
those being unicellular (single cell), multicellular
(cell colony), or acellular (lacking cells).
 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'.

3.  Medicine and diseases.
 Environmental application.
 Biomedical research.
 Food industry

4.  Biologists use knowledge obtained from
microbiology when studying the immune
system.
 Biologists use a knowledge of how
bacteria, viruses and protists affect cells
to find cures and treatments for various
ailments.

5.  Microorganisms worked to degrade the oil
and reduce the impact of the spill.
 Biologists study organisms to learn how to
better care for and repair damage to the
environment.
 Microbiologists study the effects of disasters
like the oil spill to determine how higher-level
biological life-forms respond.

6.  Biomedical research pulls from many areas
of life and physical sciences, including
biology.
 Microbiology provides information needed to
create vaccines and treatments for diseases.
 Biomedical research can result in findings
that allow biologists a greater understanding
of how and why infections progress.

7.  An understanding of microbiology helps
biologists keep our food safe.
 Biologists study microbiology to identify the
microorganisms that exist in food.
 An understanding of these microorganisms can
help biologists uncover ways to prevent food
spoilage and make food safe.

microbiology

9.  Food microbiology is the study of the
microorganisms that inhabit, create, or
contaminate food.
 Microorganisms are essential for the
production of foods such as cheese, yogurt,
and other fermented1 foods such as bread,
beer and wine.

10.  Agricultural microbiology is a branch of
microbiology dealing with plant-associated
microbes and animal diseases.
 It also deals with the microbiology of soil
fertility, such as microbial degradation of
organic matter and soil nutrient
transformations.

11.  Industrial microbiology is a branch of
biotechnology that applies microbial
sciences to create industrial products in
mass quantities.
 One way to increase production is by gene
amplification, this is done by the use of
plasmids, and vectors.

12.  Environmental biotechnology is biotechnology that
is applied to and used to study the natural
environment.
 The International Society for Environmental
Biotechnology defines environmental
biotechnology as "the development, use and
regulation of biological systems for remediation of
contaminated environments (land, air, water), and
for environment-friendly processes.
