This document discusses what makes microbiology an interesting field of study. It notes that microbiology appeals to our senses through aroma, taste, touch, and other ways. It also describes how microbiology is interesting because it studies a world that is invisible to the naked eye but present all around us. The document highlights how microorganisms are essential to environmental balance and are found in diverse habitats. It provides examples of how microbiology is applied in food production, medicine, industry, and other areas of daily life. In conclusion, the field of microbiology is challenging and continues to have opportunities for further discovery.

Microbiology is the study of something I can
not see but I can feel its presence
The microbes are always within me, with me
and I am always surrounded by them.
- This is how microbiology is different from
the other sciences !!

45. Adaptability of Microbial cell
• A single organism can live
phototrophically ,
photoheterotrophically,
aerobically,
anaerobically, even can fix
atmospheric nitrogen.
They literally eat up anything
to adapt to their
environment.
• Microbes are never late they
live their entire life within 20
minutes. 45microbiology with prutha @ J.& J. Nadiad

47. Interesting facts about a Microbial
Cell!
• Motile bacteria can run number
of times faster than a leopard.
• The cell is very economic in
nature.
• The cells are greedy for nutrients.
• A cell is compact functionally but its not
complex.
• Microbial cell has great way of traffic
management for biochemical pathways.
• Some Gram positive bacilli has potential for
spore formation.
