What is Microbiology?What is Microbiology?
Microbiology is the study of organisms too Microbiology is the study of organisms too small to be clearly seen by the unaided eye small to be clearly seen by the unaided eye (i.e., microorganisms) and how they are (i.e., microorganisms) and how they are living/working/surviving.living/working/surviving.– Microorganisms includeMicroorganisms include
Bacteria (Bacteria ( 细菌细菌 ) 0.5~2 µm) 0.5~2 µm Archaea (Archaea ( 古菌古菌 ) 0.5~2 µm) 0.5~2 µm Fungi (Fungi ( 真菌真菌 ) 2~200 µm) 2~200 µm Protozoa (Protozoa ( 原生动物原生动物 ) mm~cm) mm~cm Algae (Algae ( 藻类藻类 ) ) Viruses (Viruses ( 病毒病毒 ) 20~300 nm) 20~300 nm

Beside their small in size, they are:1. Basically unicellular, their life dose not depend on other
cells. It means that ONE cell is a complete life, which distinguishes from other multicultural organisms.
2. Diverse in their living habits (adaptation, live almost everywhere where life is possible
3. High metabolic activities, fast reproduction.
4. more numerous than any other kind of organisms (genetic diversity)
5. global ecosystem depends on their activities
6. influence human society in many ways
Microorganisms are thought to have been living on the earth for 2.3~4.7 billion years.
How many years have human beings been living on the earth?

In 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick publish a description of the double-helix structure of DNA. The paper acknowledges that the authors were "stimulated by knowledge of the unpublished experimental results of" Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin, whose x-ray crystallography images of DNA suggested the structure. Franklin died in 1958; Watson, Crick and Wilkins are awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962.

The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) published the first full DNA sequence of a free-living organism Haemophilus influenzae in 1995, which followed up that achievement with a rapid-fire series of scientific accomplishments, including:
• Deciphering the genome of the smallest bacterial genome, Mycoplasma genitalium, and investigating the minimum complement of genes required to support life.
• Sequencing the first complete genome from a representative of the third domain of life, the Archaea.
• Playing a key role in deciphering the DNA sequence of Arabidopsis thaliana, the first plant genome completed, as well as the sequences of rice and other important crops.

• Deciphering the genome sequences of more than three dozen human pathogens, including the bacteria that cause pneumonia ( 肺炎 ), cholera( 霍乱 ), syphilis(梅毒 ), meningitis( 脑膜炎 ), Lyme disease anthrax( 炭疽热 ) and gingivitis( 齿龈炎 ) as well as the parasites that cause malaria( 疟疾 ), amoebic dysentery ( 阿米巴痢疾 ), and African Sleeping Sickness ( 非洲昏睡病 ).
• Finding new ways to use genomics as a tool for microbial forensics ( 毒物 )and demonstrating the potential to use microarray technology for tumor diagnosis.
• Developing a host of software tools that are widely disseminated in the scientific community to assemble, annotate and compare genomes.

Current trends in Environmental microbiology:
A. space exploration – microbes in extreme environments (hot springs, thermal vents, lithosphere)
B. molecular techniques – diversity of microorganisms (Carl Woese), new methods to assess presence/abundance of individual species in situ
C. realization that with pure culture/enrichment techniques, we know somewhere between 1-10% of existing microbial species – lots to learn!
D. biology of climate change, global biogeochemistry
