  • Phycology or Algology
    The study of simple photosynthetic eukaryotes, the algae, ranging from single-celled forms to large seaweeds
  • Mycology
    The study of the fungi, a group of eukaryotes that includes both microscopic eukaryotes (molds and yeasts) and larger organisms (mushrooms, puffballs)
  • Microbial Genetics, Molecular Biology
    The function of genetic material and biochemical reactions that make up a cell's metabolism
  • Physiology
    Microbial function (metabolism) at the cellular and molecular levels
  • Taxonomy
    Classification, naming, and identification of microorganisms
  • Virology
    The study of viruses-minute, noncellular particles that parasitize cells
  • Bacteriology
    The study of bacteria-small single-celled prokaryotic organisms
  • Parasitology
    The study of parasitism and parasitic organisms-traditionally including pathogenic protozoa, helminth worms, and certain insects
  • Protozoology
    The study of the protozoa-animal-like and mostly single-celled eukaryotes
  • Morphology
    The detailed structure of microorganisms
  • Microbial Ecology
    Interrelationships between microbes and the environment; the roles of microorganisms in the nutrient cycles and natural ecosystems

  • Oviparous: (of an animal) producing young by means of eggs which are hatched after they have been laid by the parent, as in birds.
  • Viviparous: (of an animal) bringing forth live young which have developed inside the body of the parent.
  • Ovoviviparous: producing young by means of eggs which are hatched within the body of the parent, as in some snakes.
