Welcome to MicrobiologyBytes

Micro-organisms (viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa) are fascinating creatures. They help purify our waste water and clean up pollution. Mankind has used them for thousands of years in the production of foods and drinks but other types can cause new devastating diseases. Microbes are the oldest inhabitants of the Earth, yet we have only discovered a small fraction of those that currently exist.

Microbiology is at the forefront of a technical revolution: incredibly sensitive molecular tools, coupled with sophisticated computer informatics, provide powerful new approaches to unlocking the secrets of life. Explore them here.
