Join in Alpha group - microbiology study group This is a group for anyone,regardless of level of scientific knowledge;interested in microbiology.Any topic directly related to microbiology is welcome.Have fun and think microbiologically ! Mofijur Rahman Mamun President Alpha group - microbiology study group Department of microbiology STAMFORD UNIVERSITY BANGLADESH MICROBIOLOGY-It is an interesting world! Microbiology is the study of microscopic living organisms: bacteria, viruses, fungi, algae and protozoa. These organisms have a major impact on all aspects of life. Diseases caused by microbes are well-known and can involve viruses (e.g. influenza and HIV), bacteria (e.g. meningococcus, staphylococcus, E. coli) and protozoa (e.g. malaria). Our understanding of these organisms is directly linked to the control and prevention of infectious diseases. Immunology plays a key role in understanding how humans and animals respond to the challenge of these disease-causing organisms. In recent years, research in microbiology has been revolutionized by new and exciting technologies such as proteomics, genomics, bioinformatics and genetic engineering. Thus, Microbiology is a discipline of enormous importance in basic and applied science. In this major, you will learn about the following areas of study:. - the basis of immune recognition and vaccine design - infectious diseases and methods of control - microbial biotechnology, and - parasitology. You will also develop an understanding of the importance of microbiology in environmental, agricultural and industrial settings. The removal of pollutants using microorganisms and the recognition that they play a key role in the cycling of molecules in the biosphere has led to major growth of environmental microbiology. This area of bioremediation requires a grounding in microbial physiology and ecology. Plant pathology is an important aspect of plant-microbe interactions and microbiologists have a key role to play in this area of agriculture and quarantine.
