Advantages of research in microbiology

Your research in bioremediation and biosurfactants will improve and research in biotechnologically relevant enzymes and proteins will give you a massive growth in future world. Your research in Microfactories will give you an impact in microbial production of chemicals and pharmaceuticals. They help to turning over soil and aquatic habitats.

Your research will be involving in microbes that can also be beneficial in health and disease as they are used to make new therapies that help us to fight infections and illness. So HIGS will be with you throughout these difficult research times to aid you in great way of research.

Before microbiologists can solve the problems caused by microbes, or exploit their abilities, they have to find out how microbes work. They can then use this knowledge to prevent or treat disease, develop new technologies and improve our lives in general.

• They help turning over soil and aquatic habitats.
• They can aid digestion. Ectosymbionts live outside the cells of the host. For example, bacteria that is on your skin and in your digestive tract.
• They break down dead and decaying matter.
• They can help in the environment. Bacteria are being used to help in clearing up after environmental incidents, such as oil spills.
• They may live with a host to the benefit of both organisms. These are called symbionts. A symbiont is an organism that is closely associated with a host, a larger organism. The symbiont will live on, in or near the host. Symbiotic relations are usually positive but can be negative.
• Endosymbionts live inside the host’s cells. For example, in some plants the endosymbiontic bacteria lives in the root cells and helps the plant to grow.
• Microorganisms also include pathogens, which are organisms that cause diseases in plants and animals. All around the world there are microbiologists making a difference to our lives ensuring our food is safe, treating and preventing disease, developing green technologies or tracking the role of microbes in climate change. Microbiologists aim to answer many important global questions by understanding microbes. They work in many places, from labs in universities, research institutes and industrial companies, to investigating microbes in fieldwork. However knowledge of microbiology is not just important for these researches. Microbiologists can also use their knowledge and skills in a wide range of careers in industry education, business, and communications.

Microbiologists are essential in helping us to treat diseases. Many work as biomedical scientists in hospitals and laboratories: testing samples of body tissue, blood and fluids to diagnose infections, monitor treatments or follow disease outbreaks. Some microbiologists work as clinical scientists in hospitals, universities and medical laboratories where they carry out research and give scientific advice to medical staff. Other microbiologists work on disease-causing microbes, such as flu or tuberculosis, and the information they find is used to develop vaccines and improve current treatments
