 Microbiology is the study of microscopic

living organisms (microorganisms) with all
its activities related to the shape,
structure, reproduction, physiology,
metabolism, and identification.
The microscopic organisms called
microorganisms, microbial, and protists.

The Benefits of Protozoa

Helpful ini sanitation: they live in
polluted water feed upon waste organic
substances and thus purify it
Protozoa in food: some of them are
photosynthetic and can produce 80x as
much as the most efficient protein
producing crops
Symbiotic protozoans: help digestion of
cellulose

The Benefits of Algae

recovery of toxic stackgas pollutants
and remediation of polluted water
streams
produce renewable biofuels
Produces orders of magnitude more oil
and hydrocarbons per land mass
production cycle for converting solar
energy and carbon dioxide into
renewable and sustainable fuels

 Microbiology can be divided into

several branches of science :
Medical Microbiology
Water & Sewage Microbiology
Marine Microbiology
Food Microbiology
Air Microbiology
Soil Microbiology
Insect Microbiology
Outer Space Microbiology
Industrial Microbiology

Microbiology
Industrial Microbiology
Industrial microbiology is a branch of applied
microbiology which deals with screening,
improvement, management,and exploitation
of microorganisms for the production of
various useful end products on a large scale
For example :
in the production of drugs, chemicals, fuels, and
electricity.
Industrial fermentation and wastewater
treatment.
(www.nature.com)

There are several types of industrial processes where

microorganisms are used to produce desirable end
products which have well defined industrial uses and
applications, such as :
1. Foods and food additives.
Production of yeast, fungi, and algae.
Large scale product of amino acids.
2. Alcoholic beverages.
Beer, wine, and other alcoholic beverages.
3. Manufacture of various chemicals.
Produce a variety of chemicals (various alcohols,
lactic acid, acetic acid, citric acid, gluconic acid, etc.)
which are being recovered, purified and sold.
4. Therapeutic compounds.
Antibiotics, vitamins, and steroid drugs.
5. Industrial enzymes.
Microbial and enzymes industrial applications.

Applications of
Microbiology

Fermentati
on
Is an anaerobic process in which energy can be
released from glucose even though oxygen is not
available
(www.cliffsnotes.com)

Sterilization
Sterilization or sterilisation is
a term referring to any process
that eliminates (removes) or kills
all forms of life, including
transmissible agents (such as
fungi, bacteria, viruses, spore
forms, etc.) present in a
specified region, such as a
surface, a volume of fluid,
medication, or in a compound
such as biological culture media.
Sterilization can be achieved
with one or more of heat,
chemicals, irradiation, high
pressure, and filtration.

Dry heat
sterilizer

Pasteurization
is the process of heat
processing a liquid or
a food to kill
pathogenic bacteria
to make the food
safe to eat.

It has helped reduce the

transmission of diseases,
such as typhoid fever,
tuberculosis, scarlet
fever, polio, and
dysentery.

ow-Temperature-Long-Time Treatment (LTLT)

High-Temperature-Short-Time Treatment
(HTST)
It depends on: (1) the type of food and (2)
the final result one wants to achieve
(www.foodsafetysite.com)

 Pasteurization is the reason for milk's

extended shelf life. High-temperature,
short-time (HTST) pasteurized milk
typically has a refrigerated shelf life of
two to three weeks, whereas ultrapasteurized milk can last much longer,
sometimes two to three months. When
ultra-heat treatment (UHT) is combined
with sterile handling and container
technology (such as aseptic packaging),
it can even be stored unrefrigerated for
up to 9 months.

Vaccine
A vaccine typically contains an agent
that resembles a disease-causing
microorganism, and is often made from
weakened or killed forms of the microbe
(bacteria or virus), its toxins or one of its
surface proteins

(www.who.int)

Antibiotics
types of medications that destroy or slow
down the growth of bacteria
e,g: penicillin -related antibiotics as
ampicillin, amoxicillin and
benzylpenicilllin

(www.medicalnewstoday.com)

Bioremediation
use biological organisms (bacteria, fungi,
protists, and other microorganisms) to
solve an environmental problem such as
contaminated soil or groundwater
(ei.cornell.edu)

 The examples of bioremeditation nowdays :

The US Army Corps of Engineers
demonstrated that windrowing and
aeration of petroleum-contaminated soils
enhanced bioremediation using the
technique of landfarming.
Microorganisms used to perform the
function of bioremediation are known as
bioremediators, such as : Pseudomonas
putida , Dechloromonas aromatica ,
Nitrosomonas europaea, etc.

Sewage Treatment
A process using microorganisms to
recycle water / remove pollutants by
degrading the biological matter in the
liquid sludge
e,g: Nitrification by Nitrosomonas.spp
and Nitrobacter.spp
