Microbiology is the branch of science that studies microscopic organisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, algae, and protozoa. It encompasses the examination of their structure, function, genetics, and interactions with their environments and other living organisms. Microbiologists investigate the roles these microorganisms play in various ecological processes, including decomposition, nutrient cycling, and symbiotic relationships. They also explore the impact of microbes on human health, agriculture, and industry, including their use in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and food production. Microbiology is essential for understanding infectious diseases, developing vaccines, and advancing medical and environmental research. Overall, it provides critical insights into the fundamental processes of life at the microscopic level.
