Microbiology is the branch of science that deals with the study of very small living forms called MICRO ORGANISMS as they can be viewed only through microscope. It is the core discipline/subject for advanced and research oriented studies in the field of Biotechnology, Molecular Biology, Agriculture Science, Pharmaceutical industry, Forensic Science and Medical Science.
The study of this subject becomes especially important and necessary as these small living creatures are very intimately associated with our lives both in a beneficial as well as harmful way and are present everywhere. Microbiology explains the role of microorganisms played in our day to day life and contributes to various areas like Dairy, Food, and Pharmaceutical, in Environmental monitoring, Forensic Science, Medical Research Agriculture and Biotechnology as a Basic Science.
