Microbiology Department

Microbiology allows the experts to study living thing that are too small to see with the naked eye. This includes what are collectively referred to as “microbes,” which are bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungus, prions, and algae. These bacteria are essential for biodegradation/biodeterioration, food spoilage, biotechnology, climate change, disease causation and control, and the movement of nutrients. Due to its adaptability, microbiology can be used in a variety of ways, including the production of biofuels, the
production of life-saving medications, the removal of pollution, and the production/processing of food and beverages.
