The studies of unicellular organisms or cell-cluster microscopic organisms are termed as microbiology. Some examples of micro organisms are eukaryotes such a fungi and protists, procaryotis, viruses and prions, etc. In present day curricula micro biology and immunology are offered as a single course as micro biology also involves the study of immune systems. Micro biology also encompass virology, mycology, parasitology, bacteriology,etc. Extensive research has been conducted in micro biology and thereby this field is enhancing at a very fast pace. It is estimated that till date, only 1% of all the micro species on earth have been investigated and hence even after three hundred years the field of micro biology is still in its infancy.
Microbiology can be broadly classified into various divisions such as microbial physiology, microbial genetics, cellular microbiology, medical microbiology, veterinary microbiology, environmental microbiology, evolutionary microbiology, industrial microbiology, aero microbiology, food microbiology, pharmaceutical microbiology, soil microbiology, water microbiology, generation microbiology, nano microbiology, etc. No wonder that various jobs pertaining to the Center for Disease Control and Preservation requires a degree in microbiology.
