1.As a basic biological science
Microbiology provides some of the most accessible research tools for probing the nature of life sciences.
research into life processes
Fruit fly VS. Escherichia coli ( 果蝇 ) ( 大肠杆菌 )
genetically engineered for special purposes
2. As an applied biological science
Microbiology deal with many important practical problems in medicine, agriculture, and industry.
Penicillin( 青霉素 ): the first miracle drug
synthesize antibiotics
important in food processes
pickles, yogurt, buttermilk, aspartame, cheeses, bread
brewing industry
important in life of animals & plants that are important to humans

“small life knowledge”“knowing about small life”
too small to be seen with the unaided eye
Micro-Biology
Microbiology is the study of microorganisms, a large and diverse group of organisms that exist as single cells or cell clusters.
• living cells and how they work
• microorganisms( 微生物 ), an important class of cells capable of free living existence
• microbial diversity and evolution, different kinds of microbes arise, and why
• what microbes do, in the world at large, in human society, in our own bodies, in the bodies of animal and plants
• the central role which microbiology plays as basic biological science, how an understanding of microbiology helps on the understanding of the biology of higher organisms, even including humans
What is microbiology all about?
