Discovery of Microbiology
Microbiology is the study of living organisms. The word "microbiology" was coined by French chemist Louis Pasteur. They are usually very small and not visible to the naked eye and require special techniques to isolate and grow. Microorganisms are an organism that is microscopic and lacks highly differentiated cells and distinct tissues, which can only be seen under a microscope. The diverse groups of organisms include algae, archaea, bacteria, cyanobacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses. The bacteria and Archaea are procaryotic and have their genetic material located in a nucleoid. In unicellular eucaryotic organisms that lack cellular differentiation into tissues, cell differentiation is limited to cells involved in sexual reproduction, alternate vegetative morphology, or resting states such as cysts, including organisms, often referred to as algae, fungi, and protozoa.
