Concept explainers

Environmental Microbiology

Environmental biology deals with the study of microorganisms and their interaction with their surroundings. This term itself covers the microbial interactions with water, soil, air, and microbial too.

Question

2. Explain any four ways that the knowledge acquired from environmental microbiology can be applied in the current fight against the current COVID-19 pandemic raging havoc against the human population.

Study of lifeforms too small to see with the naked eye, including bacteria, viruses and protozoans. Microbiologists may study bacteria, yeast, or other microbes to understand better their reproduction, life cycle, or role in causing disease.
