  Introduction
  What is Microbiology?
  Microbiology is the study of  living creatures too
  small to see with the naked eye. This division of biol-
  ogy includes the study of bacteria, fungi, protozoa,
  algae, viruses and other important minute creatures.
  Why Study Microbiology?
  No living creature can separate itself from interac-
  tion with microbes.  We use them to help create
  pharmaceuticals, clean up hazardous waste, and
  make food products.  They can also wreak havoc on
  all creatures by invading them and causing distur-
  bance and infection.  Understanding the way they
  function is vital to life on earth.
