Microbiology

About

Microbiology explores the world of microscopic organisms that evade naked-eye detection due to their minuscule size. Encompassing bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi, prions, protozoa, and algae, these entities, broadly termed 'microbes,' become the subjects of extensive study in this scientific discipline.
