In many ways, all other forms of life depend on the microorganisms. The importance and application of Microbiology ranges from our day-to-day life to the various fields and industry. FOOD INDUSTRY Dairy products that are fermented using lactic acid bacteria such as Lactococcus and Leuconostoc. Using Acetobacter to convert ethyl alcohol to acetic acid to make vinegar Yeasts like Saccharomyces cerevisiae to create wine, beer, and other alcoholic beverages. As yeasts converts sugar from various sources like grapes. HEALTH INDUSTRY Create vaccines that weaken or destroy forms of the bacteria. Create antibiotics by culturing microorganisms in big containers with liquid growth medium that makes antibiotics a microorganisms’ secondary metabolites. Providing us the means of their control. Microorganisms are also used in the production of enzymes, vitamins and amino acids. Help the immune system to recognize and remember the bacteria fo future encounters as they have substance that mimics disease-causi bacteria. AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY Understand different plant-associated microorganisms (ex. Legume-rhizobium interaction and the significance of mycorrhiza in plant growth promotion). Plays an important role in nitrogen cycle by nitrogen fixation, ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification Microorganisms are used for cycling of carbon, maintaining ecological balance on earth. BIOFUEL INDUSTRY Yeast fermentation of sugar to ethanol helps in Microbial biofuel generation to be accomplished. (Saccharomyces cerevisiae is predominantly used). Biohydrogen is produced using photosynthetic microorganisms like cyanobacteria and green algae. End of fermentation of a variety of microbes produces the long-recognized side product of photosynthesis, the Hydrogen. MINING INDUSTRY Extracting important metal (particularly copper) from a low- grade ores that would otherwise be unworkable using traditional method by employing Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. Extracting uranium and gold using bacteria entailing the conversion of an insoluble compound to a soluble one. WATER INDUSTRY Treatment and purification of dirty water by employing a variety of bacteria and other microorganisms to make biological wastewater treatment. Water self-purification for Killing larger protozoans, bacteria, and tiny pathogens by chemical or UV disinfection wherein the microorganisms consume organic substances in the water to change and in order to eliminate them. COSMETICS INDUSTRY Microbes produce unique compounds that has a wide range application in the cosmetic business. Fatty acids, enzymes, peptides, vitamins, lipopolysaccharides, and pigments can be found in the microbes which have a favorable cosmetic effect. BIOREMEDIATION By involving biological agents such as microbes and plants to remove or lessen the effects of environmental pollutants. Microbes are more utilized because of their rapid growth and ability to be easily manipulated, enhancing the function as agents for bioremediation. Maintaining soil fertility, and cleaning up the environment of toxic compounds with their symbiotic relationship with plants. BIOTECHNOLOGY Genetic engineering where the bacteria could produce important therapeutic substances such as insulin, human growth hormone, and interferon.  THE STUDY OF MICROBES HELPS US TO UNDERSTAND OUR WORLD AND OUR PLACE WITHIN IT.
