Microbiology For Dummies (9781119544425) was previously published
as Microbiology For Dummies (9781118871188). While this version
features a new Dummies cover and design, the content is the same as
the prior release and should not be considered a new or updated
product. Microbiology is the study of life itself, down to the
smallest particle Microbiology is a fascinating field that explores
life down to the tiniest level. Did you know that your body
contains more bacteria cells than human cells? It's true. Microbes
are essential to our everyday lives, from the food we eat to the
very internal systems that keep us alive. These microbes include
bacteria, algae, fungi, viruses, and nematodes. Without microbes,
life on Earth would not survive. It's amazing to think that all
life is so dependent on these microscopic creatures, but their
impact on our future is even more astonishing. Microbes are the
tools that allow us to engineer hardier crops, create better
medicines, and fuel our technology in sustainable ways. Microbes
may just help us save the world. Microbiology For Dummies is your
guide to understanding the fundamentals of this
enormously-encompassing field. Whether your career plans include
microbiology or another science or health specialty, you need to
understand life at the cellular level before you can understand
anything on the macro scale. Explore the difference between
prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells Understand the basics of cell
function and metabolism Discover the differences between pathogenic
and symbiotic relationships Study the mechanisms that keep
different organisms active and alive You need to know how cells
work, how they get nutrients, and how they die. You need to know
the effects different microbes have on different systems, and how
certain microbes are integral to ecosystem health. Microbes are
literally the foundation of all life, and they are everywhere.
Microbiology For Dummies will help you understand them, appreciate
them, and use them.
