Microbes

A microbe or microorganism is an organism that is microscopic. Microbes are often illustrated using single-celled, or unicellular organisms; however some unicellular protists are visible to the naked eye, and some multicellular species are microscopic. The study of microbes is called microbiology. Microbes have an important place in all ecosystems and in most higher-order multicellular organisms. For mankind they are important because they participated in the earth’s element cycles, and because of their use in the creation of certain types of food, medicines and biological weapons. An in-depth understanding about the structure, functions and applications these tiny organisms is essentials for all who related to modern life sciences. The present book provides overall information about microbes in a simple style. Besides students and teachers of life sciences, microbiologists, researchers and budding scientists will also find this book of utmost use.
