Rational 1.As a basic biological science Microbiology provides some of the most accessible research tools for probing the nature of life sciences. • research into life processes
genetically engineered for special purposes Fruit fly VS. Escherichia coli (果蝇) (大肠杆菌)
2. As an applied biological science Microbiology deal with many important practical problems in medicine, agriculture, and industry. • synthesize antibiotics Penicillin(青霉素): the first miracle drug
important in food processes • pickles, yogurt, buttermilk, aspartame, cheeses, bread • brewing industry
important in life of animals & plants that are important to humans 1619 荷兰 • 郁金香

Micro-Biology • “Micro” = small • “bio” = life • “ology” from “logos” = knowledge • Hence, • “small life knowledge” • “knowing about small life” • too small to be seen with the unaided eye
Microbiology is the study of microorganisms, a large and diverse group of organisms that exist as single cells or cell clusters.
What is microbiology all about? • living cells and how they work • microorganisms(微生物), an important class of cells capable of free living existence • microbial diversity and evolution, different kinds of microbes arise, and why • what microbes do, in the world at large, in human society, in our own bodies, in the bodies of animal and plants • the central role which microbiology plays as basic biological science, how an understanding of microbiology helps on the understanding of the biology of higher organisms, even including humans
