M. Sc. Microbiology

In the present era of biological research, this applied subject is making a significant contribution towards scientific knowledge and in solving human problems. Microbiology considers the microscopic forms of life as to their occurrence in nature, their reproduction, and physiology, their harmful and beneficial relationship with other living things and their significance in science and industry.

The methods used to study bacteria and other microbes include direct microscopic examination, cultivation, Biochemical tests, animal inoculation, serological reactivity and recent molecular biological techniques.

“Microbiology Is The Study Of Micro-Organisms.”

“Job Outlook For Microbiologist Is Positive.”

Public health microbiologists try and control the spread of diseases by monitoring water and food supplies. Agricultural microbiology is focused on the health of crops, increasing yield and soil fertility. Microbial ecologists study the habitats of microorganisms to determine their contribution to the chemical cycles in soil and water; they also study the effects of pollution on the same, and develop methods to use microorganisms to combat pollution. Food and dairy microbiology prevents microbial spoilage of consumables, fights food borne transmission of diseases, and also makes food like cheese, yoghurt and wine.
