AI overview

Microbiology is the study of living organisms that are too small to see with the naked eye, such as bacteria and other microorganisms. It matters because these tiny organisms affect many aspects of our lives, from causing diseases and spoiling food to playing essential roles in medicine, agriculture, and environmental processes.
