Being LPU alumni, let me share the detail of this course, as shared by cousin who did this course from LPU. Microbiology has emerged as a key biological Science, since microorganisms provide the model used in molecular Biology for research purposes. Such research at the molecular level has provided, and continues to provide answers to numerous fundamental questions in Genetics, Metabolism, Cell forms & functions. There is a growing recognition of the potential of microorganisms in a range of applied areas. The ability of microorganisms to degrade oil in oil spills, herbicides, pesticides, and to supplement food, produce energy, besides other uses of microorganisms is becoming increasingly relevant and useful. Microbiologists study these organisms using tools, like microscopes, genetics, and culturing.
