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.
Testing of Disinfectants/ Evaluation of disinfectants definition. Different methods for Testing of Disinfectants There are present different tests which can be used to test the efficiency of disinfectants such as; 1. Phenol coefficient test Methods of Phenol coefficient test There are two distinct methods of Phenol coefficient test, such as; A. Rideal Walker method for … Read more
Definition of Epidemiology Overview of Epidemiology Scope of Epidemiology/Objective of Epidemiology The objectives of epidemiology are to: Major Areas of Discussion in Epidemiology The Major Areas of Discussion in Epidemiology are; Population Disease frequency Disease Distribution Disease Determinants Disease Control Fields of Epidemiology
Measurement of Bacterial Growth Why Should We Measure Bacterial Growth? The following are reasons we measure bacterial growth: Methods used for Measurement of Bacterial Growth There are many methods available to measure bacterial growth. Each one is discussed below. Cell Number count The cell number counting is done by two following methods; A. Direct Method … Read more
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
