Find Out A Few Of The Branches That Comprise Microbiology Society

By Edna Booker


If you listen to different and numerous positive comments about science from people in different parts of the world, you would really know that science is dear to many lives today. Diseases are the worst enemy today and some people are committed to know the microbes that cause them and how they could eradicate them. Scientists who study more about algae, fungi, protozoa, bacteria and viruses are called microbiologists and they belong to the microbiology society.

Microbiology is a scientific unit with other several branches in it. Irrespective of the branch you choose to study, you eventually emerge a competent microbiologist. Mycology is such a major branch that you cannot ignore at all. Those who choose to study mycology will make efforts to know how yeast and puff balls grow, reproduce and cause infections. They also study molds and mushrooms in terms of the diseases they cause and how you can prevent them.

Other members you will find in this scientific community include those who study virology. From the science study of these microbes, viruses are neither prokaryotic nor eukaryotic. According to most scientists who are members in this community or organization, viruses are between non-living and living things. According to many members in this community, viruses cause diseases to animals, human beings and plants.

If you choose to study more about protozoa, you will qualify to join this community once you fulfill the assessing board with your scientific qualification. Protozoa cause various diseases such as sleeping sickness, amoebic dysentery and malaria. Those who study protozoa play important role in controlling malaria that kills most newborns, children and pregnant mothers due to their low immunity.

Those who study medical microbiology are also essential members of this community due to the immense contribution about disease control that they bring. Members of this branch study pathogenic microbes, their reproduction, genetics, physiology and life cycle. What many people do not know is that some of these microbes are remedies for various microbial diseases. Some of the diseases you study in this branch include typhoid, leprosy and tuberculosis.

Those who study fermentation and the role it plays in most beverages today also qualify to join this community. Those who study this branch of science improve the fermentation processes that most industries need today. Without this study, there would be no alcohol production and most breweries would be limited in what they produce. Members in this branch help you know that various microbes influence the fermentation process.

You are prone and subjected to environments full of pathogens that cause dangerous infections. However, you may not suffer from them severely depending on your immunity level. Nonetheless, you would not know more about immunology without scientists who are specialists in this field explaining it to you. It is in this community where you find scientists who know how antibodies fight antigens in the body.

The plastics and nylon objects you see around degrade with time depending on the microbial activity. Many people actually do not know that certain microorganisms are responsible for this degradation. The decomposition processes in most objects are microbial. The scientists who help people discover this contribute a lot also to this scientific community.
