Basic Microbiology
Microbiology is the branch of science that studies tiny living things and how they interact with other tiny and big living things.
Microorganisms are very small organisms that can only be seen through a microscope because they are too small to see with the naked eye. Microorganisms are things like bacteria, fungi, archaea, protozoa, and viruses that are very small.
Basic microscopy is a wide range of studies that help researchers learn about the biochemistry, physiology, cell biology, ecology, evolution, and clinical aspects of microorganisms, as well as how the host reacts to these agents.
Microbiology also looks at the structure, function, and classification of these organisms, as well as how they can be used and how their actions can be controlled.
Anton von Leeuwenhoek’s invention of the microscope led to the start of the field of microbiology.
On the one hand, microbes are used because they have special properties that make it possible to make antibiotics, amino acids, hormones, and other therapeutic compounds. They are also used to make food and products that go with food.
Microorganisms also help break down things like lignocellulosic biomass, which is used to make second-generation ethanol or biogas.
In the same way, microorganisms are dangerous for both industry (food spoilage) and human health because of their genes and biochemistry.
At first, microbiology was only connected to pathogenic microorganisms, which cause different kinds of diseases in different groups of living things.
Since microbiology became a field of study, there have been more ways to use microorganisms in different areas.
Because microorganisms are used in food and medicine, the field of microbiology has grown into other fields and studies.
So, over time, the field has been divided into more groups, such as agriculture microbiology, food microbiology, pharmaceutical microbiology, systemic microbiology, etc.
Microorganisms are used in a lot of different research projects because they are easy to control and reproduce compared to other living things. This has also led to more research in microbiology.
Studies in microbiology are important for finding new and more advanced ways to find new microorganisms and the diseases and applications they cause.
Microbiology also looks at ways to find, classify, and study microorganisms, as well as how they live and die.
All of this helps us learn more about microorganisms and how they keep the ecosystem running.
Through a process called genetic recombination, microbiology and microorganisms can be used to make new microorganisms that have been genetically engineered.
Aside from that, different microorganisms are used to make food, industrial products, and antibiotics.

Cell membrane (Plasma Membrane) structures and functions
Cell membrane (also called"the plasma membrane (PM) or the cytoplasmic membrane and has been traditionally known as"the plasmalemma) is a membrane in the body which separates the inner part and exterior of cells. It also separates them from their external environment (the extracellular spaces) and shields cells from the elements.

Filtration Sterilization Types, Mechanism, Uses
Filtration is the most popular method to sterilize heat sensitive liquid and gases, without exposure to denaturing temperatures. Instead of killing microorganisms that cause contamination the process simply eliminates them. It is the process of choice to sterilize chemical solutions for antibiotics radioisotopes, toxic chemicals or vaccines, as well as carbohydrates, all of which are sensitive to heat.

Sucrose gradient centrifugation
Technique for the characterization and preparation of subcellular particles. A sucrose gradient is used to fill a centrifuge tube of the type swinging-bucket design. The bottom is the most dense, and the top the least dense. The solution is then layered with a suspension of the particles. Centrifugation separates particles in the gradient according their density. The centrifugation is over. After that, the bottom of the tube with sucrose particles of equal density drips into a series receiving tubes.

Scope of Epidemiology
The term epidemiology is derived from the Greek words epi, which means "on or upon;" demos, which means "the common people;" and logy, which means "study. Putting these pieces together yields the following definition of epidemiology: "the study of that which falls upon the common people."
