Understand The Different Branches That Members Of The Microbiology Society Belong

By Edna Booker


If you were careful to look at what science is contributing to the world today, you would conclude that it is making globe great. Unlike in some areas where some people are associating it with bad things, the truth is that you need to appreciate science. Many people today find it good to study microbiology to know how to control microorganisms such as protozoa, algae, fungi and viruses. Most of these scientists are members of the microbiology society in the country.

Microbiology is a scientific unit with other several branches in it. Irrespective of the branch you choose to study, you eventually emerge a competent microbiologist. Mycology is such a major branch that you cannot ignore at all. Those who choose to study mycology will make efforts to know how yeast and puff balls grow, reproduce and cause infections. They also study molds and mushrooms in terms of the diseases they cause and how you can prevent them.

Viruses cause different diseases and infections that sometimes take long to treat and eradicate. Scientists in this branch make you know that you cannot classify viruses as eukaryotic or prokaryotic. They also argue that viruses are not living things and they are also not non-living things since they lie in between the two. Most of these scientists state that viruses are major cause of disease in human beings, plants and animals.

If you want to know about protozoa, you can find some of the scientists in this community. Those who have achieved higher degrees in protozology are definitely competent members of this community. When you hear certain people are suffering from malaria or typhoid, the major causing organism is always a protozoan. In fact, protozoa also cause leprosy that does great damage to body organs.

Behind the different infections and diseases are pathogens. These are microorganisms that access your body systems and reproduce there causing infections. However, they would continue causing these infections until these scientists discover how they cause them and their life cycles as well. These scientists also study about the physiology and genetics of these microorganisms especially those that cause leprosy, tuberculosis and typhoid.

In this scientific community, you would also find scholars who study how fermentation occurs and its benefits to various industries. Without fermentation, many industries would not produce the different products they manufacture. Scientists who study microbial fermentation processes in this community also help industries on the right microorganisms they would grow and culture to ferment their products. This is how these scientists contribute to this community.

It is important to know that scientists who study immunological reactions and their systems are also part of this community. In fact, they comprise of a significant number today due to their great involvement in knowing how human body fight microbes and germs in the body. Some people do not know that their body systems produce certain toxins that cause serious problems later in the body. However, these scientists help you understand how your body forms antibodies that destroy antigens that cause medical problems.

The plastics and nylon objects you see around degrade with time depending on the microbial activity. Many people actually do not know that certain microorganisms are responsible for this degradation. The decomposition processes in most objects are microbial. The scientists who help people discover this contribute a lot also to this scientific community.
