Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The study of microbes or small living things is referred to as microbiology. Microbes are very small in size (unicellular or multicellular), that is, they cannot be seen with the naked eye. With the help of microscopes, they can be seen. Microbes include viruses, algae, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and so on. Microbiology is comprised of numerous sub-divisions including bacteriology, parasitology, virology, and mycology. Many people have assisted the development of microbiology.
