Microbial ecology: the relationship between microorganisms and their environment
Microbial genetics: the study of how
genes are organized and regulated in microbes in relation to their cellular functions Closely related to the field of
molecular biology
Predictive microbiology: the quantification of relations between controlling factors in foods and responses of pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms using mathematical modelling
Pharmaceutical microbiology: the study of microorganisms that are related to the production of antibiotics, enzymes, vitamins,vaccines, and other pharmaceutical products and that cause pharmaceutical contamination and spoil.
Microbial biotechnology: the manipulation of microorganisms at the genetic and molecular level to generate useful products.
Food microbiology: the study of microorganisms causing food spoilage and foodborne illness. Using microorganisms to produce foods, for example by fermentation.
Agricultural microbiology: the study of agriculturally relevant microorganisms. This field can be further classified into the following:
