Microbiology is the branch of biology that studies microorganisms and their interactions with other living things, the environment, and humans. This includes a vast array of organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa, many of which are too small to be seen without a microscope. Microbiologists explore the roles these microorganisms play in disease processes, nutrient cycles, and ecological systems. They also harness the beneficial aspects of microbes in industries like biotechnology, medicine, and food production. This field is critical for understanding pathogenic mechanisms, developing antibiotics and vaccines, conducting genetic engineering, and addressing environmental issues such as bioremediation. Advances in microbiology continue to be pivotal in public health, agriculture, and technology development.
