Microbiology poem

I am a student of Microbiology,

It is highly dependent on modern Technology.

Microbiology is the study of organisms that are too small,

You will need a microscope to see them all.

These amazing microbes found almost everywhere,

They are mostly abundant in soil, water and Air.

Microbes are mostly prokaryotic in nature,

They are usually unicellular in feature.

About microbes, there are lots of issues,

Like they lack highly differentiated tissues.

For humans, a few of them are curse.

But most of them are major contributors A lot of inventions done in this Field by those scientists who were highly Skilled.

So, don't worry, take a bottle of Sprite,

These microbes are highly diverse,to the functioning of the Biosphere,

They also help in the maintenance of our Biological Atmosphere.

The future of microbiology is so bright....

Scope of Microbiology

Microbiology is the study of microorganisms. These include bacteria , viruses , fungi , protozoa , and algae . Microbiology covers a wide range of topics ranging from basic sciences to clinical laboratory diagnostics. Its scope includes the - growth, physiology, structure, and genetics of microorganisms, as well as their interactions with humans ,other organisms. The scope of microbiology has grown significantly in recent decades due to advances in the field. These advances have allowed us to gain a better understanding of how microorganisms interact with their environment, how they cause disease, and how they can be used in biotechnology. In addition, advances in molecular biology have enabled scientists to better understand the genetic basis of microorganisms, how they evolve, and how they are transmitted. Microbiology has become an important field for research and clinical applications. For instance, microbiology is used to study the ...

Gram staining | History | Application |Principle | Procedure

Gram Stain In 1884, Hans Christian Gram discovered a staining technique that could help to visualise the infectious bacteria clearly and can easily study their morphology. In this technique he used crystal violet (the primary dye), Gram’s iodine (IKI, the mordant), an alcohol rinse (decolorizer), Safranin (counter stain ). A Gram stain is a test that checks for bacteria at the site of a suspected infection such as the throat, lungs, genitals, or in skin wounds. Gram stains may also be used to check for bacteria in certain body fluids, such as blood or urine . This color choice provides differentiation between bacteria that stain purple, called gram-positive, and those that stain red, called gram-negative. The difference between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria is due to the physical nature of their cell walls and how it reacts to the series of reagents applied to the cells . Gram positive bacteria has thick peptidoglyca...

FASINATING FACTS ABOUT MICROORGANISMS

Did you know... 1. If you pick up a handful of garden soil you will be holding hundreds if not thousands of different kinds of microbes. One single teaspoon of soil contains 1 billion bacteria & 120,000 fungi & 25,000 algae. 2. Microbes have been around longer than anything else on Earth, longer even than dinosaurs. If you imagine Earth began as a single day: Microbes appeared at 5am Dinosaurs appeared at 10pm... and humans appeared seconds before midnight 3. There are 10 times more bacteria in the average human's digestive system than there are cells in the entire body. This is approximately 1kg of bacteria. 4. There are more microbes on one person's hand than there are people on the planet. 5. Microbes generate at least half the oxygen we breathe. 6. Most microbes do not cause disease - less than 5% do. 7. Cattle belching and farting produce about 20% of the Earth's methane 8. A study found that 30% of all people didn't wash their hands after using a pu...
