Master
Degree in Microbiology
M.Sc.
(Micro)
Affiliated to Bangalore University
Microbiology is an exceptionally broad discipline encompassing
specialties as diverse as biochemistry, cell biology, genetics,
Taxonomy, Pathogenic bacteriology, food and industrial microbiology
and ecology. A microbiologist must be acquainted with many biological
disciplines and with all major groups of microorganisms: Viruses,
Bacteria, fungi, algae and protozoa.

Microbiology
is a large discipline with many different specialties.
It has a great impact on medicine, agricultural and food
sciences, ecology, genetics, biochemistry and many other
fields.
Microbiology has both basic
and applied aspects. The current occupations of a microbiologist
are medical, agricultural, dairy and industrial microbiology.
Microbial genetics, molecular biology focus on the nature
of genetic information and how it regulates the development
and function of cells and organisms.
The microbiologist Rene
Dubos has summarized the excitement and promise of microbiology. |
How extra ordinary that, all over the world, microbiologists
are now involved in activities as different as the study of gene
structure, the control of disease, and industrial processes based
on the phenomenal ability of microorganisms to decompose and
synthesize complex organic molecules. Microbiology is one of
the best rewarding of professions because it gives it practitioners
the opportunity to be in contact with all the other natural sciences
and thus to contribute in many different ways to the betterment
to human life. M.Sc. Microbiology is a two year full time regular
course of Bangalore University.
