Have you ever wondered how microbes are used in the production of antibiotics or probiotics? What is the role of microorganisms in nutrient recycling? Or do you want to understand how microbes cause disease in humans, animals and plants? The Microbiology Program equips you with an understanding of the diversity of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi), microbial activity at the cellular and molecular level, and the use of microbes in the biotechnology and medical industries.
