Microbiology is the branch of biology that studies microorganisms—organisms too small to be seen clearly with the naked eye. These include bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, and some algae. Microbiology explores their structure, function, genetics, classification, ecology, and their roles in health, disease, industry, agriculture, and the environment.
It is a foundational science for fields such as medicine, biotechnology, environmental science, and food production.
