Definition: Microbiology

Explanation: Microbiology can be defined as the study of microorganisms, which are unicellular or cell-cluster microscopic organisms, including nucleatic eukaryotes such as fungi and protists, and non-nucleatic prokaryotes such as bacteria and certain algaes. Even though there is great knowledge in the field of microbiology, it has been discovered that on average, the common estimate of the current knowledge in the field of microbiology suggests that a meagre 1% of all the microbes in any given environment have in fact been studied. As such, microbiology is really still in its infacy in relation to other biological disciplines such as zoology, botany and entomology.
