    About this ebook

    Microbiology, along with mathematics, chemistry, and physics, is
    one of the fundamental branches of basic sciences. The
    knowledge and detailed study of microorganisms and their
    functions can establish its use in a variety of applications, from
    medical, food and environmental, agricultural and industrial field.
    Thus, microbiology is consolidated as one of the pillars of
    biotechnology. In this specification the modern general
    microbiology, which is aimed to study morphology, their
    arrangements and reactions to staining processes, physiology,
    metabolism, characterization and identification of microorganisms.
     
    When entering the microbial universe, you will be able to
    multiply their knowledge, but as in every discipline, will not be
    the issue here started exhausted, providing the resumption and
    completion of the issues addressed through activities and study
    suggestions in the virtual teaching environment course learning.
    An important source of information will be electronic sites on
    microbiology. Also, so you can better enjoy this material, we
    suggest dear student, you make a careful reading of the text,
    also exploring the figures that accompany and illustrate the
    explanations. As in any way, or in any new situation, there will
    be challenging times, which will lead us to changes, which are
    essential for our training.
