Microbiology

Definition

Microbiology is the study of tiny living things, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and some algae, that are too small to see without a microscope. It explores how these microorganisms live, grow, and affect other living things.

Etymology

From Greek ‘mikros’ meaning ‘small,’ ‘bios’ meaning ‘life,’ and ‘-logia’ meaning ‘study of.’ The term emerged in the 19th century as scientists began to understand microscopic life.

Kelly Says

Microbiology shows that most life on Earth is invisible to the naked eye, and yet it shapes everything from our health to the air we breathe. Your own body is home to trillions of microbes—so in a way, you are a walking microbiology ecosystem.
