laboratory.
What are the branches of microbiology? Medical Microbiology, Public Health Microbiology, Immunology,
Biotechnology, Food Microbiology, Industrial Microbiology, Agricultural
Microbiology, Environmental Microbiology, and Aquatic Microbiology.
Why is microbiology important today? It is relevant due to the emergence of new infectious diseases and its
impact on health, food, and the environment.
What is biotechnology? The manipulation of microorganisms to make products in an industrial
setting.
What is genetic engineering? The manipulation of the genetics of microbes, plants, and animals to create
