Rogers State University 1 Microbiology Rogers State University 2 Microbiology is the study of microanisms, which are unicellular or multicellular microscopic anisms. This includes eukaryotes such as fungi and algae(藻類 ) and prokaryotes such as bacteria. Viruses, though not strictly classed as living anisms, are also studied. Microbiology is a broad term which includes many branches like virology, mycology, parasitology and others. A person who specializes in the area of microbiology is a microbiologist.

They grow in soil, acidic hot springs, radioactive waste, seawater, and deep in the Earth39。s crust. There are approximately ten times as many bacterial cells as human cells in the human body, with large numbers of bacteria on the skin and in the digestive tract. A few are beneficial, some are pathogenic bacteria and cause infectious diseases. Rogers State University 5 Morphology Bacteria display a wide diversity of shapes and sizes, called morphologies. Most bacterial species are either spherical, called cocci (sing. coccus) or rodshaped, called bacilli (sing. bacillus). Some rodshaped bacteria, called vibrio( 弧菌 ) , are slightly curved or mashaped。 others, can be spiralshaped, called spirilla( 螺菌 ) .
