Know Some Of The Branches That Constitute The Famous 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.

It is important to note that this scientific study has several branches you can join to quality to become a microbiologist. One of the branches is mycology. In this branch, you specialize in learning more about fungi. Many people do not know that fungi are a general terminology that includes the study of fungal microbes such as puff balls, mushrooms, moulds and yeast. You should know that some fungi are beneficial although others are harmful.

Another category of scientists you will find in this scientific community include virologists. These are people who study more about viruses in terms of the diseases they cause, how they reproduce and the most effective ways to control them. They further discover that viruses are not classified as living or non-living things although they cause serious illnesses to people, plants and animals.

If you want to know about protozoa, you can find some of the scientists in this community. Those who have achieved higher degrees in protozology are definitely competent members of this community. When you hear certain people are suffering from malaria or typhoid, the major causing organism is always a protozoan. In fact, protozoa also cause leprosy that does great damage to body organs.

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.

Among other scientists you find in this community are those who study different processes of fermentation and their application. Fermentation is crucial to most industries since they produce their products through this process. However, some people do not know that certain microorganisms facilitate fermentation. Scientists in this branch explain how fermentation brings about alcoholic drinks.

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.

Lastly, those who study how these microbes degrade objects in the environment are also members of this great community. These professionals study how these microbes cause decay and degradation of the natural waste to keep the environment clean and healthy. Scientists in this branch note that some of the environmental microbes help in eradicating oil spill that contaminate aquatic life.
