micro biology


Microbiology is the study of microorganisms which are unicellular or cell-cluster microscopic organisms. This includes eukaryotes such as fungi and protists and prokaryotes such as bacteria and certain algae. Viruses though not strictly classed as living organisms are also studied.
Microbiology is a broad term which includes many branches like virology mycology parasitology and others. A person who specializes in the area of microbiology is a microbiologist.Although much is now known in the field of microbiology advances are being made regularly. We have probably only studied about one percent of all of the microbe species on Earth.
Thus despite the fact that over three hundred years have passed since the discovery of microbes the field of microbiology could be said to be in its infancy relative to other biological disciplines such as zoology botany and entomology .There are three classes of microbes which include prions and viruses the prokaryotic forms and the eukaryotic forms. Prions and viruses are acellular meaning that they do not posess the tradition cell structure. They are in fact not true organisms.
Prions are little string of proteins while a virus is a protein coated string of RNA or DNA. The prokaryotic forms of microbes which are also the biggest and most important group in microbiology are bacteria. They are mostly unicellular. Finally the eukaryotic forms of microbes include algae fungi and protozoans. They are the most complex of the three classes. have to decided to remove this early hypothesizing that such things as microrganisms existed. First of all neither of these early claims resemble in any way that microorganisms existed.
Worlds like foul earthly bodies and contagious entities does not in any way mean someone was talking about microbes. I mean were these foul contagious entities made of what solids liquids a combination. Basically by saying these early people were speculating on the existence of microbes is fallacious since one is just amplying a modern interpretation to ancient words. Essentialy one is just assuming, ohh contagious entities well they must be talking about microbes but thats just retrospect since we now know such things exist.
This early section is best kept in the germ theory page. Lastly associating microbes with disease is foolish since its not true not all microbes cause disease.
