MICROBIOLOGY is simply defined as the study of microorganisms. Microorganisms or microbes are organisms that are too small to be seen by the naked (unaided) eye. Microorganism is the term applied to all microscopically small living organisms. However, some of the organisms studied in this important field of the biological sciences (i.e., microbiology) are macroscopic

The study of pathogenic fungi (i.e. fungal organisms that are of medical importance) is known as medical mycology. Pathogenic fungi are fungal organisms that cause disease in humans. Human mycoses may include infections of the outer skin layer, infections of the underlying tissues of the skin, systemic infections, and deep-seated infections or invasive mycoses. Other

What is mycology? Mycology is simply defined as the study of fungi. Fungi (singular: fungus) are eukaryotic and heterotrophic microorganisms that do not contain chlorophyll but obtains its nutrient through the absorption of food and/or nutrients in its environment. The study of fungi actually began in the early 1830’s following the serendipitous discovery of fungi

Cell theory is the scientific hypothesis that the cell is the basic unit of life found in all living organisms. It holds a fundamental concept in the study of biology. Cell theory describes the properties of cells – which are the basic unit of structure in all living organisms. The cell is also the basic
A cell is simply defined as the basic structural and functional unit of life. It is the smallest component of all forms of life including microbial cells. The cell was first discovered by Robert Hooke (1635-1703)in 17th century. Robert Hooke was the first scientist who used the microscope to describe the cells of living organisms
Microbial physiology is simply defined as the study of the cell structure, growth factors, metabolic activities, nutritional requirement and the genetic composition of microorganisms. It is generally the study of the metabolic activities of microorganisms at both the cellular and molecular levels. Physiology is defined as the study of life processes in living cells. Microbial
