Microbiology is one of the most important disciplines in modern times. As the name suggests, this field is the study of microbes or microorganisms that are invisible to the naked eye. The life cycle of microorganisms and their effects on humans and other flora and fauna are studied.
The services of microbiologists will be required in a number of areas, including medicine, pharmaceutical research and manufacturing, textiles, leather, food and defense. In addition, advances in the field of medicine, agriculture, horticulture, space science, virology, and environmental protection will enhance the career prospects of microbiologists in these fields.
Research Branch
One thing that children who want to study microbiology must first understand is that it is a very important field of study for research and in-depth study. Career opportunities and career growth may be limited for those who complete their studies at the undergraduate or graduate level. Through research, Ph.D. It is one of the best careers for those who have gained and gained in-depth knowledge.
Personal traits
Interest in microbiology and their study, ability to analyze things in a systematic way, inquisitive mind, longing to work, observation skills, and originality are all qualities that microbiologists need.
Branches
- Medical Microbiology
- Applied Microbiology
- Industrial Microbiology
- Marine Microbiology
- Agricultural Microbiology
- Soil Microbiology
- Food Microbiology
- Water Microbiology.
The aim of each branch is to study the influence of microorganisms in the various areas of the name and to use them in the most beneficial way for human life.
The breadth of this field is evidenced by the fact that microbiology can play an important role in preventing the radioactivity of heavy metals, cleaning up oil spills at sea, and even reducing the amount of carbon particles in the atmosphere.
Research
B.Sc. The study can be started through a Microbiology course. But those who want a career in microbiology do not have to study this subject optionally at the undergraduate level. After Plus Two (Physics, Chemistry, Biology), you can start serious study in Microbiology even after graduating in any of the Biological disciplines or Chemistry.
M.Sc. Postgraduate degree in Microbiology. This is a two year course. Many universities have entrance exams.
After graduating with a Ph.D. And can be achieved.
