What is micro Biology?
607977
For someone just finnishing a microbiology course, he/she knows very little about it. Microbiology is the study of microscopic organisms. These include bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites such as amoeba and helminths (a type of worm) as well as eukaryotic single celled organisms like yeast.\n\nIt is the greatest subject to studying in biology.\n\nThis website has some good information on it related to microbiology and virology (study of viruses). Im really enjoying my degree, and if you are thinking about taking it, then i recommend you do, and come to Uni of Leicester!!\n\nhttp://www-micro.msb.le.ac.uk/

biochemistry, science concerned chiefly with the chemistry of biological processes; it attempts to utilize the tools and concepts of chemistry, particularly organic and physical chemistry, for elucidation of the living system. The science has been variously referred to as physiological chemistry and as biological chemistry. Molecular biology, a term first used in 1950, is used to describe the area of research, closely related to and often overlapping biochemistry, conducted by biologists whose approach to and interest in biology are principally at the molecular level of organization. The related field of biophysics brings to biology the techniques and attitudes of the physicist. Cell biology is concerned with the organization and functioning of the individual cell and depends greatly on biochemical techniques. As the study of life forms demonstrated similar or even identical processes occurring in widely divergent species, it has taken the biochemist to unravel the underlying chemical basis for these phenomena. Biochemists study such things as the structures and physical properties of biological molecules, including the proteins, the carbohydrates, the lipids, and the nucleic acids; the mechanisms of enzyme action; the chemical regulation of metabolism; the molecular basis of genetic expression; the chemistry of vitamins; chemoluminescence; biological oxidation; and energy utilization in the cell. The study of the chemistry of the immune response offers the possibility of treatment and cure for such diseases as AIDS and lupus.

Mmmmmmmm....microbes.

the use of microorganisms, such as bacteria or yeasts, or biological substances, such as enzymes, to perform specific industrial or manufacturing processes. Applications include production of certain drugs, synthetic hormones, and bulk foodstuffs.

A virus is a microscopic parasite that infects cells in biological organisms. Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites; they can reproduce only by invading and controlling other cells as they lack the cellular machinery for self-reproduction. The term virus usually refers to those particles that infect eukaryotes (multi-celled organisms and many single-celled organisms), whilst the term bacteriophage or phage is used to describe those infecting prokaryotes (bacteria and bacteria-like organisms lacking a nucleus). Typically these particles carry a small amount of nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA, but not both) surrounded by some form of protective coat consisting of proteins, lipids, glycoproteins or a combination. Importantly, viral genomes code not only for the proteins needed to package its genetic material, but for proteins needed by the virus during its life cycle (the term "life cycle" is used loosely here—see #Living or non-living?).

Microbiology is a very broad field. what are you interested in? doing the investigatory would be more fun and learning would be easier if you were into it. anyways, here are some sites. go check them out. \n\nhttp://www.microbes.info/forums/index.php\nhttp://www.suite101.com/welcome.cfm/microbiology\nhttp://www.asm.org/\n\nI had microbiology last semester. we tested the antimicrobial property of some plants. my friends tested the effectivity of some of the facial wash available on the market. some tested the effect of hair gel on microbial growth. you can do lots of things. i read a study where they tested the plastic degrading activity of microbes found in mangroves. still there are those who go to dumpsites and tests the microbes degrading activity. then there are those microbes that are used as air filters. the list goes on and on.

With the most powerful electron micropscopes scientists can acheive a magnification of 2 million times which will still not allow us to see anything as tiny as proteins as molecules.  The smallest biological material that I can think of is nanobacteria that are 300 *10^-9 m in size but the existance of nanobacteria is still disputed.  The following gallery gives a good idea of the range that normal EM's work in.

It the study of biology on the molecular level.  In other words, a microbiologist studys not just organs and tissues, but the molecular makeup of tissues and cell componants.\n\nQuite fascinating stuff really.

nanotechnology is the art of manipulating materials on an atomic or molecular scale especially to build microscopic devices (as robots).  biotechnology is biological science when applied especially in genetic engineering and recombinant DNA technology.  Since you want a biology course that will grow and pay with least amount of math i thing you should go with courses related to genetics, DNA, and as you said biotechnology.  \n\nHope you got what u needed.

I found a site that may be helpful to you, I don't know the conversion to micros though.  It's listed under house mouse.\n\nhttp://www.genomesize.com/rgregory/reprints/MammalRBC.pdf

The smallest cell is a type of bacteria known as mycoplasma. Its diameter is 0.0001 mm. The smallest cell in the human body is the sperm cell.

Here are the results of a search for "microbiology" on a really great scientific information search engine:\nhttp://www.scirus.com/srsapp/search?q=microbiology&ds=jnl&ds=nom&ds=web&g=s&t=all\n\nNotice that this includes journal articles and "prefered web results" - this is far better than doing a Google search. You can also create a more specific search using terms in your research subject.

well i am into engineering,,,,so don know much abt biology.\nU can check this website for some good info.\nwww.wikipedia.org

Biologists in microprop you say??  Well, it depends.  THere are several stages and a biologist could be responsible for any part of them.  For instance, making the callus culture and ensuring that the proper amount of plant horomones are present, to the actual studying of methods of microprop. Quality control, disease checking, all that jazz. If you want specifics, that's a lot of information but you could look up wikipedia.org, and I am sure they have anice section on microprop.  Good luck!

You're jumping from macro to micro.\nOne requires proteins and one requires chlorophyll (C55H70MgN4O6).
