<\/p>\nMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms. They can be single cellular, multicellular, or acellular. Microbiology incorporates numerous disciplines found within the field of microbiology.

\nThe years from 1857-1914 are called the Golden Age of Microbiology. Some of the famous members found within this field are:<\/p>\n
Binomial nomenclature is composed of two italicized words. The first word which is the Genus, is capitalized, and the second word, is the species designation, is in smaller case.<\/p>\n
The standard resource for identifying prokaryotes, bacteria, is Bergey’s Manual of Determinative Bateriology.<\/p>\n
To be seen without a microscope, it needs to measure about 100 micrometers.\u00a0 Most microorganisms are smaller than that.\u00a0 Microorganisms differ between each other in size, structure, habitat, metabolism as well as other characteristics.\u00a0 Micros are found in Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya life domains.<\/p>\n
Microbes in the Bacteria & Archaea domains are all prokayotes (lack nucleus).\u00a0 Cyanobacterium is a prokayotic microorganism.\u00a0 Eukaryotes are Eukaya (has nucleus)Viruses although are microorganisms do not fall within any of the domains of life.\u00a0 Virus is acellular.\u00a0 Peptidoglycan is the ones with cell walls.<\/p>\n
Bacteria is a prokaryot because their DNA is not within a true nucleus.\u00a0 It is found everywhere.\u00a0 Yeast is a type of fungal microorganism. \u00a0Alga is photosynthetic.<\/p>\n
Otzi te Iceman was discovered frozen in the Alps.\u00a0 Scientists believe that he died of Lyme disease.<\/p>\n
Pathogens cause disease.\u00a0 Most are good.\u00a0 They are named for shape.\u00a0 Common shapes are spherical (coccus), rod-shaped (bacillus) or curved (spirillum), spirochete, or vibrio.\u00a0 Bacteria is very versatile.<\/p>\n
Archaea unicellular prokaryote.\u00a0 They are different from bacteria in their evolutionary history as well as numerous other differences.\u00a0 Their cell walls are psuedopetidoglycan. None of these have been shown to be a pathogen.<\/p>\n
