Phycology, parasitology, virology, mycology, protozoology, and bacteriology are the various sub-fields under this discipline. The integration of these diverse fields form the comprehensive discipline of microbiology. Microscopy, staining techniques, and identification methods such as DNA sequencing, including the use of rDNA gene sequences, are utilized for the identification and analysis of microorganisms. Microbiology finds applications in various fields, including the treatment of cancer and digestive issues in humans, biodegradation of industrial and agricultural wastes, and the production of diverse biopolymers such as polyesters and polyamides. The topics included in this book on microbiology are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. It includes topics that deal with the basic to the most complex concepts and approaches of this area. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and facilitate the growth of the discipline.
