What Is Microbiology About and Why Is It
Important?

1. Understanding basic life processes

2. Applying that knowledge to the benefit of
humans

What Is Microbiology About and Why Is It
Important?
– Can live in places unsuitable for other organisms
– Oldest form of life
– Largest mass of living material on Earth
– Carry out major processes for biogeochemical
cycles

 The Impact of Microorganisms on Humans
• Microorganisms and the human gastrointestinal
(GI) tract
Stomach

cells/g)

Small intestine
(pH 4–5, up to
108 cells/g)

Large intestine
(pH 7, about
