Microbiology

Microbiology is that the study of all living organisms that are too small to be visible with the naked eye. This includes bacteria, Achaea, viruses, fungi, prions, protozoa and algae, collectively referred to as 'microbes'. These microbes play key roles in nutrient cycling, biodegradation/bio deterioration, global climate change, food spoilage, the cause and control of disease, and biotechnology. Because of their versatility, microbes are often put to work in many ways: making life-saving drugs, the manufacture of biofuels, cleaning up pollution, and producing/processing food and drink. Microbiologists study microbes, and a few of the most important discoveries that have underpinned modern society have resulted from the research of famous microbiologists, like Jenner and his vaccine against smallpox, Fleming and therefore the discovery of penicillin, Marshall and therefore the identification of the link between Helicobacter pylori infection and stomach ulcers, and zur Hausen, who identified the link between papilloma virus and cervical cancer. Microbiology has helped to treat and stop diseases which are caused by viruses, bacteria, protozoa and fungi. In medicine, for instance, microbiology led to the invention and development of Antibiotics and Vaccines.
