]]>Scope of microbiology can be divided into two dimensions, in which, first can be according to the variety of microbes and second can be according to the types of jobs or work microbiologists do.
Microbiologists do varieties of works. Some of them research for the structure of the microorganisms, while some studies about the pathogenic factors in the microbes. Microbiologists play a key role in developing vaccines and in the development of medicines for the treatment of diseases. Microbiologists also plays a key role in development and manufacturing of antibiotics and some other important pharmaceutical products such as human insulin, blood clotting factors, etc. The result of any research in one field of microbiology works as the basis of research and development of other fields of microbiology. In this way, all the fields of microbiology are interconnected and interdependent with each other.
Microbiology has two major branches: Basic research microbiology and applied microbiology
The above image is taken only for educational purpose from Microbiology Principles and Exploration by Jacquelyn G. Black.
The importance of microbiology can be understood by discussing three major aspects:
Production of fermentation products is very important part in the food industries. The science of fermentation is related with microbiology. Preparation of aseptic media and introduction of microbial agents in the media, process of fermentation under sterile condition all include under microbiology.
Pharmaceutical products including many antibiotics, vitamin supplements, human insulin, blood clotting factors, blood thinning factors and many other important products are possible due to the science of microbiology.
Microbial enzyme technology has helped in understanding the relationship between many microorganisms. The branch helps in getting such extracellular enzymes which can be used for cleaving particular chemical entities. Microorganisms like Bacillus mesenterious can be used to obtain enzymes such as proteases and amylases.
