The study of small organisms, particularly ones that, as adults, cannot be individually seen without magnification.
| Microbiology is the study of microorganisms and microorganisms are key players in ecosystems, in the fermentation of foods (e.g., yogurt), and, perhaps most recognizably, as infectious diseases, though in fact the vast majority of microorganisms have nothing to do with disease. |
The following is a list of major concepts associated with the science of microbiology:

The following is a bit corny, superficial, and in some cases visually misleading overview of microbiology, but nevertheless not completely without merit.
