CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO MICROBIOLOGY LESSON 1B Flashcards
-The most
fundamental branch,
in which organisms
themselves are
examined in-depth.
- Deals with the deeper
study of a group of
microorganisms
to better understand
their characteristics
Pure Microbiology
What are the two types of pure microbiology?
Taxonomic arrangement and integrative arrangement
Who made taxonomic system?
Carolus Linnaeus
Taxonomywhich literally
means “arrangement
law”
▪ Science of classifying
organisms to construct
internationally shared
classification systems
with each organism
placed into more and
more inclusive
groupings
TAXONOMIC
ARRANGEMENT
What are the branches of taxonomic arrangement?
Bacteriology
Mycology
Protozoology
Parasitology
Nematology
Immunology
Virology
Phycology/Algology
Serving or
intending to
unify separate
system
INTEGRATIVE
ARRANGEMENT
What are the branches of integrative arrangement?
Microbial Cytology
Microbial Physiology
Microbial Genetics
Microbial Ecology
Cellular Microbiology
Evolutionary Microbiology
Generation Microbiology
Systems Microbiology
Molecular Microbiology
Nano Microbiology
Exo Microbiology or Astro Microbiology
Biological Agents
Study of microscopic and sub microscopic details of microorganisms
Microbial Cytology
-Study of how microbial
cells function
biochemically
-Includes the study of
microbial growth,
microbial metabolism
and microbial cell
structure
Microbial Physiology
Study of relationships of microorganisms and their environment
Microbial Ecology
-Study of how genes are
organized and related in
microbes in relation to
their cellular functions.
-Closely related to the
field of Molecular
Biology
Microbial Genetics
A discipline bridging microbiology and cell biology
Cellular Microbiology
Study of evolution of
microbes.
Evolutionary Microbiology
Under evolutionary microbiology this study of naming and classification of microorganisms
Microbial Taxonomy
Under evolutionary microbiology this study of diversity and genetic
relationship of
microorganisms
Microbial Systematics
Study of those microorganisms that have the same characters as their parents
Generation Microbiology
A discipline bridging systems biology and microbiology
Systems Microbiology
Study of molecular principles of the physiological processes of microorganisms
Molecular Microbiology
Study of those microorganisms on nano level
Nano Microbiology
Study of microorganisms in outer space
Exo Microbiology or Astro Microbiology
Study of microorganisms used in weapon industries
Biological Agents
Scientific discipline
that deals with the
application of
microorganisms and
the knowledge about
them
▪ Deals with the study of
microorganisms for
the sole purpose of
benefits to humanity
APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY
What are the branches of applied microbiology?
Pharmaceutical Microbiology
Industrial Microbiology
Microbial Biotechnology
Food Microbiology
Agricultural Microbiology
Medical Microbiology
Aeromicrobiology
or Air Microbiology
Water Microbiology or Aquatic Microbiology
Environmental Microbiology
Veterinary Microbiology
*Study of pathogenic microbes and the
role of microbes in human illness.
* Includes microbial pathogenesis and
epidemiology
* Related to the study of disease
pathology and immunology
* Study of the interactions between men
and the microorganisms in which they
co exist
Medical Microbiology
- Study of microorganisms
related to the production of
antibiotics, enzymes, vitamins,
vaccines and other
pharmaceutical products and
that cause pharmaceutical
contamination and spoil.
Pharmaceutical Microbiology
- The exploitation of
microbes used in
industrial processes. - Fermentation, waste
water treatment,
biotechnology, brewing
Industrial Microbiology
*The manipulation of
microbes at the genetic
and molecular levels to
generate useful
products.
Microbial Biotechnology
