Understand The Different Branches That Members Of The Microbiology Society Belong

By Edna Booker


If you listen to different and numerous positive comments about science from people in different parts of the world, you would really know that science is dear to many lives today. Diseases are the worst enemy today and some people are committed to know the microbes that cause them and how they could eradicate them. Scientists who study more about algae, fungi, protozoa, bacteria and viruses are called microbiologists and they belong to the microbiology society.

If you are willing to study microbiology, you should know that it involves different branches. This means that the members of this society are not from the save line of study since they fall in the different branches. Mycology happens to be one of the branches that people with interest in learning more about fungi join. These scientists further classify fungi into yeast, molds, mushrooms and puff balls.

Viruses cause different diseases and infections that sometimes take long to treat and eradicate. Scientists in this branch make you know that you cannot classify viruses as eukaryotic or prokaryotic. They also argue that viruses are not living things and they are also not non-living things since they lie in between the two. Most of these scientists state that viruses are major cause of disease in human beings, plants and animals.

Most people just hear about protozoa, but they really do not have much information about them. However, there are scientists who take their time to learn what protozoa are and their contribution to the community. According to scientists who study protozoa, these microorganisms cause malaria, amoebic dysentery and sleeping sickness especially to young babies and expectant mothers.

Medial microbiology is yet another branch of science that commonly deals with disease control and how these diseases come about. Scientists who study units in this branch get to know the different pathogens and the diseases they cause. In fact, they further analyze the mechanisms that these pathogens use to cause such illnesses. Among the many pathogens they study include those that cause tuberculosis, leprosy and typhoid.

Among other scientists you find in this community are those who study different processes of fermentation and their application. Fermentation is crucial to most industries since they produce their products through this process. However, some people do not know that certain microorganisms facilitate fermentation. Scientists in this branch explain how fermentation brings about alcoholic drinks.

You are prone and subjected to environments full of pathogens that cause dangerous infections. However, you may not suffer from them severely depending on your immunity level. Nonetheless, you would not know more about immunology without scientists who are specialists in this field explaining it to you. It is in this community where you find scientists who know how antibodies fight antigens in the body.

Finally, the objects you see around go through degradation process with the help of particular microorganisms. Actually, many people would not know this if there were no scientists to discover it. For this reason, scientists who study how microbes degrade objects and how certain microbes can eradicate oil spill in aquatic ecosystems also belong to this community.
