what will be the scope of microbiology in future? and which field in microbiology will have more scope?

microbiology is a subject with great potential. Micrbes are being used from everything from "eating up oil" to producing human insulin!\nThough the subject has just too many applications in oil industry, agriculture, pharmacy, chemical industry, biotech etc. etc. perhaps the best applications would be in the pharmacy sector where microbes are  both friends and foes. \n\nOn one hand microbes are used for production of many drugs penicillin, chloromycetin, soframycin, human insulin, botox, many protiens, enzymes and hormones. On the ther hand the harmful ones are carefully studied and screened from the drugs manfactured. So a microbiologist has applications in both R&D, Production and Quality Control aspects.\n\nResearch is also being done in biotech, where microbes are being modified to produce more nitrogen, provide disease resistence, improve vigour  in plants , etc. etc. \n\nBut you must do an M.Sc. then Ph.D.

Hi disha, \nFirst of all I would like to tell you that, your future course of action totally depends on the subjects you like most. If you like the biology field, you can hang on to it and pursue MSc. in Microbiology or MSc. in Biotechnology(offered at Maharaja sayajirao university, Vadodara, Gujarat.). If it has to be MBA then be sure to get yourself admitted to some really good college or university as there are many guys roaming around with mba from poor colleges. So be wise and take your time and decide for yourself. By the way, Bio informatics, bio tech and the like have a great scope in India too. Companies(pharma) and others are on look out for people like you.

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.

WHEN UR HAVING CREATIVITY MIND  THEN UTILISE IN UR FIELD ONLY WHY U WANT TO DIVERT . SHOW UR POTENTIAL  AND CREATIVITY IN UR SUBJECT. NOW DAYS MALAYSIAN,SINGAPORE,AUSTRALIA,AUSTRIA,ARE LOOKING FOR  MICROBIOLGISTS. ONE OF MY SUBORDINATE  HAD MSc MICROBIOLOGY SHE WORKED FOR 2 YRS ONE OF THE US COMPANY SAW HER ACTIVE AND CREATIVITY IN THE SUBJECT SHE GOT SELECTED FROM INDIA AND NOW SHE IS DOING WELL. SHOW UR  WORK .IN PARTIME U WORK NIFT. DONT SPOIL UR CARRER. IN HYDERABAD LOTS OF BIOTECH CO'S ARE COMING APPLY.DEFTNLY U WILL GET. TELL ME UR RESULT  IF WE MEET AGAIN

If you get a microbiology degree you could work in the lab and look at test samples sent in from the hospital.

www.bls.gov/oco \nGo to this website to find out about different occupations, what they do, where they work, and how much they are making.\nMost people I know go on to get a Masters in a more specialized area of Biology. Just what you want to hear...more school!\nIts better to find an area to focus on or minor in because truly the jobs are competitive. My suggestion is epidemiology. You can make good money, there are a good amount of positions out there, and the future is looking pretty good for that area. \nBest advice I have is do at least one internship where you can learn about the different jobs and experience it hands on. I 'thought' I wanted to go into Biotechnology but once I got into the field realized it wasn't for me, nothing wrong with it but it wasn't personally fulfilling. \n\nGood luck!

biotechnology will soon be the most important job, it helps in everything and it is growing really fast. I am planing to study it.

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, but I'm assuming you want to know how microbiology is similar to stem cell cultivation.\n\nMicrobiologists use media (agar) that has different types of nutrients embedded into it that promote the growth of the organism they want to isolate.  These plates are placed into incubators that also promote the growth of the organism they are trying to isolate.  Sterile technique is used throughout the process to ensure that the media and specimen is not contaminated.  Colonies with desired characteristics are selected and replated on media several times until only the desired organism is isolated.  It is then tested to determine its species and subspecies before resulting the test and making recommendations.\n\nTissue cultures are cells that have also been plated on media that promote the growth of the desired tissue.  In this case, heart valves.  The innoculated media is then placed into incubators.  Desired tissue is tested and placed on new media in order to create a pure tissue source.  Once the desired tissue is grown, it is tested for the presence of the desired antigens, etc.

Um, I'll go out on a limb and assume you're an undergraduate in microbiology but I have no clue what a pg course is. If you could be more specific, I'm a micro major and I could probably help you out.

Genetics and Microbiology.  Do you mean to become a forensic scientist?  You have to study biotechnology techniques such as PCR.  Best thing is to talk to your advisor to find a courseload/major that suits your needs.

Microbe Hunter by Paul de Kruif\n\nA very fascinating book.

Im a microbiologist working in a pathology lab.....its a bit slow at the moment - people are too healthy!

The list of schools that do research in this area is long. What you have to do is visit each schools' website and look into the faculty research sections. Personal projects and majors become so specialized at the graduate level that it takes a lot more to narrow down the right school. Check on gradschools.com for a broad search and then do some research into each school. Remember that microarrays may be a "hot" area right now, but cancer and aids research will be hot until the epidemics are over and we all know that is a very long way off. Biotechnology and bioinformatics have MANY different applications. Good Luck.

There are four types of fields to specialize in with biochemistry: \n\nMedicine- you investigate causes and curses of diseases and methods of diagnosis. \n\nBiomedicine- look into genetics and brain functions. \n\nNutrition- examines effects of food deficiencies \n\nAgriculture - involves undertaking studies to discover a more efficient methods of crop cultivation.

Biotechnology is a vast field and has lot of scope. Jobs exist in R&D as well as for managerial tasks.\n\nDetails on BSc. in Biotechnology are available on -\nhttp://www.biotechworld.cjb.cc\n\nFor details on B.Tech Biotechnology, visit -\nhttp://www.biotechworld.cjb.cc\n\nDetails on MSc. and Phd. in Biotechnology-\n\nMSc. in Biotechnology has good career prospects. Biotech is a booming sector and the growth oppurtunities are high. The Biotech sector includes - Biopharma, Biotech, Biotech services, Bioindustrial, Bioinformatics etc. After BSc., those who want to go for research, choose MSc. and then go for Phd. On the other hand, some go for MBA-Biotechnology. Career oppurtunities for both these courses are good.\n\nAfter doing MSc. Biotech, one can join R&D dept. of any good Biotech company. US is the best destination for Biotechnology. It stands out in the field of research as well as the biotech market is much developed in the US. Similar, is the case with UK, Canada and a few EU countries. Coming to India and China, these countries are really trying hard. Australia is good study destination as well for BT studies in Asia-Pacific region.\n\nFor details on entrance exams and admission procedures as well as more career options in BT, you may visit -\nhttp://www.biotechworld.cjb.cc\n\nThe other career prospect is MBA-Biotechnology. For this course, use following links-\n\nhttp://in.search.yahoo.com\n\nhttp://www.microbiologyindia.cjb.net

The best degree, maybe a PhD?  I think you meant: what field should I get a degree in.  That's a toughy, I would think medicine is a good field.

Microbiology is the study of tiny organisms...be they bacteria, algae, fungi, helminths, etc.\nMicrobio knowledge can be used in biotechnology....for instance, knowledge of DNA and how it works can be applied or made useful to various situations via biotechnology...be they genetic engineering, DNA restriction analysis to determine human relationships, etc.
