FOOD MICROBIOLOGY

Read the slide.

Additional Explanation: Food Microbiology is a branch of microbiology that studies microbes that affect
the quality, safety, and properties of food. It helps consumers, producers and regulators protect public
health and reduce foodborne illness. Food Microbiology refers to the study of microbes in and around
food, how they reproduce, and how they cause disease.

Not all microorganism has bad effects in producing food products because microorganism play vital role
in production and preservation of foods. So nabanggit dito ang fermentation. So what is fermentation?
Fermentation is a process that uses microorganisms to convert carbohydrates into alcohol, acids, or
gases. Some example of fermentation food are kimchi, pickles, and yogurts. So Fermentation is
pagbuburo ng mga pagkain. The best example is yung fish na ginagawang bagoong.

Food Microbiology is important to the food industry because it provides important information to food
companies to ensure that their products are safe for consumers. They examine plants, animals, cooking
utensils as well as personnel working in food production to determine where food microbes come from.
After determining where food microbes are coming from, they will develop so that they have ways to
eradicate them and protect public health.

BIOTECHNOLOGY

Read the slide.

Additional explanation: Biotechnology is used to expand knowledge about biological processes, such as
how the body's cells work, and how they interact with other cells. In this way, those in the field of
Biotechnology can use biological processes to produce new drugs, such as antibodies, hormones and
enzymes.

So the biotechnology has big role in our society. Because sila ang dahilan why there is medicine that we
take for illnesses or pain that we feel. Apart from creating new medicines, Biotechnology is also used to
create new types of food. Halimbawa, ang mga genetically modified crops ay ginagawa to improve
plants, such as inserting genes that will strengthen resistance to disease or changing the color of fruits
and leaves. Diba po makikita natin or napapanood natin sa facebook yung mga vegetables and fruits na
sobrang laki like the Mango in other contries Offcourse kaya malalaki ang fruits nila doon because they
have advance or sabihin na lng natin na nauuna sila mag test to their fruits and crops production.

So biotechnology is very very important to our society because biotechnology helps in improving
products and services using biological processes and organisms. Because of this, it gives rise to new
opportunities and development in various sectors of the industry.

AEROMICROBIOLOGY/AIR MICROBIOLOGY

Read the slide.

Additional explanation: So Aero or Air Microbiology is an important branch of microbiology because it

affects the health of humans, animals, and plants, as well as indoor air quality and cooking equipment. It
involves the study of the distribution, diversity, ecology, and behavior of microorganisms that exist in
the atmosphere, their interactions with the physical and chemical environment, and their effects on
human and environmental health. There are also studies on microbes inside air conditioning systems or
cooking equipment, and how they affect the quality of the air we breathe.

So, some of the key areas of research in aeromicrobiology include the study of airborne pathogens,
allergens, and toxins; So ano nga ba ang airborne pathogens? So ang airborne pathogens ay isang
microorganism na nagcacause ng disease na pwede matransmitted through the air. Syempre kabilang na
ditto yung bacteria, virues, and fungi na nagcacause ng respiratory infections. Someone who would like
to give example of respiratory infections.

Again Aero or Air Microbiology is very important in our society because aero microbiology provides
information to protect people's health and improve the air quality around us.

VETERINARY MICROBIOLOGY

Read the slide.

Additional explanation: This field of study is important for understanding the role of microorganisms in
animal health and disease, and for developing strategies to prevent and treat infections in animals.
Veterinary microbiologists study a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and
parasites, that can cause disease in animals. They investigate the transmission, pathogenesis, and
diagnosis of these microorganisms, as well as the development of effective treatments and vaccines.

So our veterinary microbiologist ay may mga pinag-aaralan sila or they research the study of zoonotic
disease which means that disease ay pwedeng ma transfer from animals to human. The example for this
study is the Ebola virus na nangyari sa Africa na ang mga tao doon ay nagkaroon ng severe illness and
die because of animals like the bats and gorillas. Some examples of zoonotic disease are influenza virus
which can be transmitted mula sa birds or sa mga poultry farm. Rabis Virus syempre we are familiar to
this virus through their saliva pwede tayong mapektuhan best example is dogs.

Overall, veterinary microbiology is a diverse and complex field that is essential for protecting animal and
human health, ensuring food safety, and advancing our understanding of the role of microorganisms in
the world around us.

AQUATIC/ WATER MICROBIOLOGY

Read the slide.

Additional explanation: Aquatic microbiology is the study of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and
viruses that are found in aquatic environments such as rivers, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water.
It is an important branch of microbiology because these microorganisms have a significant impact on the
quality of water and the environment, and also affect the health of humans, animals, and plants that
rely on these aquatic systems.

Aquatic microbiologists study processes such as carbon and nitrogen cycles, as well as the importance of
these microorganisms in underwater ecosystems. In this way, aquatic microbiology provides knowledge
to protect the health of people and the environment in aquatic environments.

So isa sa mga study aquatic microbiologist ay ang HABs or they called harmful algal blooms on marine
and freshwater environtments. HABs are caused by certain species of microalgae that produce toxins
which can cause illness or death in marine life, as well as humans and other animals that consume
contaminated seafood or water. Dahil sa mga algae na sobrang dami sa isang bdies of water ay maari
talagang magkaroon ng water contaminate because some fish will die because sa kakulangan ng sunlight
and oxygen need din sa mga aquatic animals. Syempre not only aquatic animals and maapektuhan dahil
ang mga HABs ay makikita din sa fresh waters na kung saan doon tayo kumukuha ng ating water.

So aquatic microbiology is a broad and diverse field that encompasses a wide range of research areas,
from the study of harmful algal blooms to the ecology of microbial communities in aquatic ecosystems.
Understanding the role of microorganisms in these environments is essential for maintaining the health
and function of our planet's water resources.
