what is microbiology ? branches of microbiology |
| Answer» <p>Ans :- Microbiology is the study of microorganisms, those being unicellular, multicellular, or acellular. Microbiology encompasses numerous sub-disciplines including virology, parasitology, mycology and bacteriology. </p><p>Microbiology can be broadly classified as :</p><p>General Microbiology</p><p>Applied Microbiology</p><p>But the branches of Microbiology as listed below:</p><p>Bacteriology: the study of bacteria.</p><p>Mycology: the study of fungi.</p><p>Protozoology: the study of protozoa.</p><p>Phycology/algology: the study of algae.</p><p>Parasitology: the study of parasites.</p><p>Virology: the study of viruses.</p><p>Nematology: the study of nematodes.</p><p>Microbial cytology: the study of microscopic and submicroscopic details of microorganisms.</p><p>Microbial physiology: the study of how the microbial cell functions biochemically. Includes the study of microbial growth, microbial metabolism and microbial cell structure.</p><p>Microbial ecology: the relationship between microorganisms and their environment.</p><p>Microbial genetics: the study of how genes are organized and regulated in microbes in relation to their cellular functions. Closely related to the field of molecular biology.</p><p>Cellular microbiology: a discipline bridging microbiology and cell biology.</p><p>Evolutionary microbiology: the study of the evolution of microbes. This field can be subdivided into:</p><p>Microbial taxonomy: the naming and classification of microorganisms.</p><p>Microbial systematic: the study of the diversity and genetic relationship of microorganisms.</p><p>Generation microbiology: the study of those microorganisms that have the same characters as their parents.</p><p>Molecular microbiology: the study of the molecular principles of the physiological processes in microorganisms.</p><p>Medical microbiology: the study of the pathogenic microbes and the role of microbes in human illness.</p><p>Industrial microbiology: the exploitation of microbes for use in industrial processes.</p><p>Agricultural microbiology: the study of agriculturally relevant microorganisms.</p><p>Food microbiology: the study of microorganisms causing food spoilage and foodborne illness.</p> <p>thank u very much</p> | |
