MICROPARA

• Two major categories of microbes are called?

  Acellular microbes (infectious particles) and cellular microbes (microorganisms)
• It is a rapidly growing cell

  Germ
• Study of bacteria

  Bacteriology
• Study of immune

  Immunology
• Study of fungi, such as yeasts and molds

  Mycology
• Study of nematodes (roundworms)

  Nematology
• Study of parasites

  Parasitology
• Study of algae

  Phycology
• Study of protozoa, single-celled organisms like amoeba

  Protozoology
• Study of viruses

  Virology
• Organisms are thoroughly investigated

  Pure Microbiology
• Organisms are applied to a specific process

  Applied Microbiology
• Study of the pathogenic microbes and the role of it in human illness.

  Medical microbiology
• Study of microorganisms that are involved in the manufacturing of antibiotics, enzymes, vitamins, and other pharmaceutical goods that cause contamination and spoil

  Pharmaceutical microbiology
• Creates or responsible for production (ex. fermentation and wastewater treatment)

  Industrial microbiology
• Manipulation of microorganisms at the genetic and molecular level to generate useful products

  Microbial biotechnology
• Study of microorganisms causing food spoilage and foodborne illness

  Food microbiology
• Study of agriculturally relevant microorganisms (Ex. Plant microbiology and plant pathology / soil microbiology)

  Agricultural microbiology
• Study of the role of microbes in veterinary medicine or animal taxonomy

  Veterinary microbiology
• Study of function and diversity of microbes in their natural environment

  Environmental microbiology
• Study of microorganisms that are found in water

  Water microbiology or aquatic microbiology
• Study of airborne microorganism

  Aero microbiology (or air microbiology)
• It is related to recombinant DNA technology or genetic engineering

  Biotechnology
• Study of the interactions between microorganisms and plants and plant pathogens

  Plant microbiology and Plant pathology
• Study of those microorganisms that are fund in soil

  Soil microbiology
• It is use of microorganisms to clean air, water and soils

  Bioremediation
• Used to make hormones, antibiotics, vaccines and other products. (New genes can be inserted into plants and animals)

  Genetic Engineering
• Commercial application include the synthesis of acetone, organic acids, enzymes, alcohols and many drugs.

  Biotechnology
• Also known as germ warfare, use of biological toxins or infectious agents.

  Biological Warfare
• Study of the relationship between microorganisms and their environment

  Microbial Ecology
• It aids in detection, isolation, diagnosis, and treatment of pathogenic bacteria

  Medical microbiology
• Study of microorganisms in outer space

  Astro microbiology
• Study of those microorganisms which are being used in weapon industries

  Biological agent
• Reveals how pathogenic microorganism interacts with host cells in what is turning out to be a complex evolutionary battle of competing gene products

  Cellular microbiology
• Study of microbial evolution

  Evolutionary microbiology
• Study of microorganisms that have the same characters as their parents

  Generation microbiology
• Study of microorganisms microscopic and submicroscopic features

  Microbial cytology
• Relationship between microorganisms and their environment

  Microbial ecology
• Study of how genes are structured and regulated in microbes in relation to their cellular functions

  Microbial genetics
• Study if the process by which a microorganism causes a disease

  Microbial pathogenesis
