Microbiology is the branch of science that studies tiny living things and how they interact with other tiny and big living things.
Microorganisms are very small organisms that can only be seen through a microscope because they are too small to see with the naked eye. Microorganisms are things like bacteria, fungi, archaea, protozoa, and viruses that are very small.
Basic microscopy is a wide range of studies that help researchers learn about the biochemistry, physiology, cell biology, ecology, evolution, and clinical aspects of microorganisms, as well as how the host reacts to these agents.
Microbiology also looks at the structure, function, and classification of these organisms, as well as how they can be used and how their actions can be controlled.
Anton von Leeuwenhoek’s invention of the microscope led to the start of the field of microbiology.
On the one hand, microbes are used because they have special properties that make it possible to make antibiotics, amino acids, hormones, and other therapeutic compounds. They are also used to make food and products that go with food.
Microorganisms also help break down things like lignocellulosic biomass, which is used to make second-generation ethanol or biogas.
In the same way, microorganisms are dangerous for both industry (food spoilage) and human health because of their genes and biochemistry.
At first, microbiology was only connected to pathogenic microorganisms, which cause different kinds of diseases in different groups of living things.
Since microbiology became a field of study, there have been more ways to use microorganisms in different areas.
Because microorganisms are used in food and medicine, the field of microbiology has grown into other fields and studies.
So, over time, the field has been divided into more groups, such as agriculture microbiology, food microbiology, pharmaceutical microbiology, systemic microbiology, etc.
Microorganisms are used in a lot of different research projects because they are easy to control and reproduce compared to other living things. This has also led to more research in microbiology.
Studies in microbiology are important for finding new and more advanced ways to find new microorganisms and the diseases and applications they cause.
Microbiology also looks at ways to find, classify, and study microorganisms, as well as how they live and die.
All of this helps us learn more about microorganisms and how they keep the ecosystem running.
Through a process called genetic recombination, microbiology and microorganisms can be used to make new microorganisms that have been genetically engineered.
Aside from that, different microorganisms are used to make food, industrial products, and antibiotics.

Microbiology is among the most popular subjects after BiPC and is an important field of Biology that studies the study of fungi, bacteria virus, as well as other microorganisms that can’t be observed with eyesight. Microbiologists identify and study the behaviors of microbes under certain circumstances and the effect they may have on the environment. … Read more

When working with centrifuges you’ll encounter two different measurement units that are called the Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) and the number of revolutions per Minute (RPM). It is essential to be aware of the fact that they are both different. If they are not used correctly (which isn’t as rare as you believe) and the … Read more

Sucrose gradient centrifugation Definition Technique for the characterization and preparation of subcellular particles. A sucrose gradient is used to fill a centrifuge tube of the type swinging-bucket design. The bottom is the most dense, and the top the least dense. The solution is then layered with a suspension of the particles. Centrifugation separates particles in … Read more

Centrifugation of blood The process of dividing whole blood into its components is known as blood separation. For research purposes, diagnostic and therapeutic reasons as well as research, whole blood may be separated. Scientists may employ several blood separation methods to achieve this. Blood separation machines that spin at high speeds exert a centripetal force, … Read more

Filtration is the most popular method to sterilize heat sensitive liquid and gases, without exposure to denaturing temperatures. Instead of killing microorganisms that cause contamination the process simply eliminates them. It is the process of choice to sterilize chemical solutions for antibiotics radioisotopes, toxic chemicals or vaccines, as well as carbohydrates, all of which are … Read more

Radiation is used to sterilize and decontaminate medical supplies (surgeon supplies, vaccines and drugs) as well as the food and beverage industries. There are two types of radiations available: ionizing or non-ionizing. Radiation sterilization isn’t widely used in the food industry because of concerns about radioactive contamination, toxic or carcinogenic products production, taste alteration, and … Read more

Direct Microscopic Count (DMC) Cell Counting Formula In Counting Chamber The number of bacterial cell per milliliter (ml) = Number of cells counted X dilution (if used) X 50,000* The factor of 50,000 is used in order to determine the cell count for 1 ml: 1 ml = 1000 mm3 = (50 times the chamber … Read more

Binomial nomenclature means a system that is used to provide a unique name to organisms, including plants, animals, microorganisms, and other living things. This naming system makes it easier to understand them better and also separates each species from others. Therefore a universally accepted naming system is essential. Binomial nomenclature definition Binomial nomenclature is a … Read more

What is Carl Woese’s Classification? Carl Woese’s Classification Why is rRNA a good ‘Chronometer’? Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) has been recognized as a pivotal molecular tool in the realm of phylogenetic studies and evolutionary biology. Its efficacy as a ‘chronometer’ can be attributed to several intrinsic properties that make it an ideal candidate for tracing evolutionary … Read more

The food supply upon which microorganisms thrive in laboratories is termed as a culture medium or culture media. Culture Medium Definition The nutrient preparation on or in which a culture (microorganism) is grown in the laboratory is known as culture medium or culture media. Classification of culture media/Types of Culture Medium Many special-purpose media are … Read more
