Microbiology is the study of microscopic organisms commonly known as microorganisms. This includes the study of bacteria, protozoa, fungi, some types of algae, and often viruses.
Microbiology is actually made up of several sub-disciplines which individually may stand alone, because there is so much to learn in each. These disciplines include: Immunology, Virology, Pathogenic Microbiology, Microbial Genetics and Physiology.
