Understanding Microorganisms
Microbiology is the study of microscopic organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, archaea, fungi, and protozoa. These tiny creatures, though minuscule in size, have a tremendous impact on our world. They can be found almost everywhere on Earth and play essential roles in ecological systems, human health, and industries.
