Escherichia coli (大肠杆菌) 2. As an applied biological science Microbiology deal with many important practical problems in medicine, agriculture, and industry. synthesize antibiotics Penicillin(青霉素): the first miracle drug important in food processes pickles, yogurt, buttermilk, aspartame, cheeses, bread brewing industry important in life of animals & plants that are important to humans 1619 荷兰 • 郁金香 Course Description Microorganisms？ 非细胞生物——病毒（真病毒、亚病毒） 生物 细胞生物 Viruses Bacteria 原核生物：细菌、放线菌、蓝细菌等 高等动植物 高等藻类 真核生物 Algae 藻类 低等藻类 低等生物 细胞生物三原界 真菌类 原生动物 真核生物原界 (Eucarya) 真细菌原界 (Bacteria) 古生菌原界 (Archaea) Fungi Protozoa Micro-Biology “Micro” = small “bio” = life “ology” from “logos” = knowledge Hence, “small life knowledge” “knowing about small life” too small to be seen with the unaided eye Microbiology is the study of microorganisms, a large and diverse group of organisms that exist as single cells or cell clusters. What is microbiology all about? • living cells and how they work • microorganisms(微生物), an important class of cells capable of free living existence • microbial diversity and evolution, different kinds of microbes arise, and why • what microbes do, in the world at large, in human society, in our own bodies, in the bodies of animal and plants • the central role which microbiology plays as basic biological science, how an understanding of microbiology helps on the understanding of the biology of higher organisms, even including humans Text book and References 《微生物学教程》，周德庆，高等教育出版社，第 二版，2002 “Microbiology: an introduction 7TH”, Gerard J.Tortora, Berdell R.
