      Microbiology is the study of very very very very small organisms like bacteria, viruses fungi and more. Microbes occupy nearly every part of the planet.There are more bacteria inside you then there are cells that make you up. Every living thing share a common evolutionary ancestor that is likely to be bacterial in nature if not some other micro organism. So microbiology is a HUGE topic and very important because bacteria impact us everyday and without them we wouldn’t be here.
