Unit 1: Introduction to Microbiology and Prokaryotic Cell Anatomy

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Microbiology is the study of microscopic organisms, those being unicellular (single cell), multicellular (cell colony), or acellular (lacking cells). As an application of microbiology, medical microbiology is often introduced with medical principles of immunology as microbiology and immunology. Otherwise, microbiology, virology, and immunology as basic sciences have greatly exceeded the medical variants, applied sciences.
