Why Study Microbiology?

Microbiology may have emerged later than zoology or botany, but its impact is undeniable. Microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, archaea, and protists, are invisible to the naked eye yet exist in staggering numbers and diversity. They are essential for:

Maintaining a Healthy Planet: Microbes decompose organic matter, cycling nutrients crucial for plant growth. They also play a vital role in nitrogen fixation, ensuring healthy ecosystems.

Human Health: While some microbes can cause illness, many are beneficial. Our gut microbiome aids digestion and immune function. Antibiotics, derived from microorganisms, revolutionized medicine.

Industrial Processes: Microbes are utilized in food production (bread, yogurt), fermentation (beer, wine), and wastewater treatment.
