2. WHAT IS MICROBIOLOGY ?????
 Study of Microorganisms.
 Microorganisms are those organisms which can
not be seen by our naked eyes ----Microscope
 Different types of microorganisms present
everywhere in the nature : in air, in water, in soil,
on and in human as well as animal body, on
plants etc.
 Bacteria, viruses, fungi, algae protozoa,
actinomycetes are different types of
microorganisms.

3. MICROORGANISMS ARE USEFUL AS WELL AS
HARMFUL
 Useful Microorganisms –
 Making of curd -
Lactobacillus
 Making of bread - S.
cervesiae
 Production of antibiotics - Penicillium
chrysogenum, Streptomyceus gresius
 Alcohol and Distillary - S. cervesiae
 Environmental cleaning
 Production of vaccines - Polio virus,

4. MICROORGANISMS ARE USEFUL AS WELL AS

8. ROLE OF MICROBIOLOGIST IN PHARMACEUTICAL
INDUSTRY
 Production of antibiotics , vaccines and
other drugs.
 Quality control and Quality assurance.
 Prevention of microbial contamination of
injectables, drugs, nasal solutions. Eye
drops, ear drops etc.
 Actively involved in performing different
microbiological testing.

9. ROLE OF MICROBIOLOGIST IN PHARMACEUTICAL
INDUSTRY

10. ROLE OF MICROBIOLOGISTS IN AGRICULTURAL
INDUSTRIES
 Agricultural microbiology is a branch of
microbiology dealing with plant-associated
microbes and plant diseases. It also deals
with the microbiology of soil fertility, such as
microbial degradation of organic matter and
soil nutrient transformations.
 Use of microbial resources in agricultural
and agro-industrial processes.

11. ROLE OF MICROBIOLOGISTS IN AGRICULTURAL
INDUSTRIES
 Different type of microorganisms are present
in soil--------Bacteria, Actinomycetes, Fungi.
Protozoa .
 These are mainly involved in-
 Nutrient transformations.
 Microbial antagonism
 Decomposition components of plant and
animal origine.

12. ROLE OF MICROBIOLOGISTS IN AGRICULTURAL
INDUSTRIES
 There is contineous spreading and evolution
of microorgaisms is taking place which
causing a great thread to agricultural
produce.
 These microorganisms are causing different
diseases in crops thereby reducing the crop
yields.
 Microbiologists study all mechanisms behind
this pathogenesis and try to find out solutions
for this.

13. ROLE OF MICROBIOLOGISTS IN AGRICULTURAL
INDUSTRIES
 Microorganisms are useful in the agricultural
industries in the production of biofertilizers,
phytostimulators, bioherbicides, biopesticides,
bioremediators etc.
 There are some plant- microbe interactions are
present which play very important role in
increasinng soil fertility.
 Nitrogen fixing RhizobiaPlants and Arbuscular
Mycorhizal fungi.
 Plant Growth promoting Rhizobacteria

14. ROLE OF MICROBIOLOGISTS IN AGRICULTURAL
INDUSTRIES
 Production of Biofertilizers :
 preparations containing living cells or efficient
strains of microorganisms that help crop plants’
uptake of nutrients by their interactions in the
rhizosphere when applied through seed or soil.
 They accelerate certain microbial processes in
the soil which augment the extent of availability
of nutrients in a form easily assimilated by
plants.

15. TYPES OF BIOFERTILIZERS
 Nitrogen Fixing Biofertilizers
Sr. No. Group of
Microorganisms
Examples
1. Symbiotic Rhizobium, Frankia, Anabaen azollae
2. Free-living Azotobacter, Beijerinkia, Clostridium,
Klebsiella, Anabaena, Nostoc,
3. Associative Symbiotic Azospirillum

16. MICROBIOLOGISTS IN VACCINE PRODUCTION
INDUSTRIES
 Vaccines are made from dead (inactivated) or
modified (attenuated live) whole microbes, or
from inactivated or recombinant parts of
microbes that are responsible for disease (such
as toxins or surface proteins).
 We have managed to develop successful
vaccines for many diseases, including yellow
fever, rubella and tuberculosis; however the
emergence of new diseases, adaptations of old
diseases, and global travel, means that novel
vaccines are increasingly required.

17. MICROBIOLOGISTS IN VACCINE PRDUCTION
INDUSTRIES
 Stages of vaccine production
 Inactivation – This involves making of the
antigen preparation
 Purification – The isolated antigen is purified
 Formulation – The purified antigen is
combined with adjuvants, stabilizers and
preservatives to form the final vaccine
preparation.

18. MICROBIOLOGISTS IN VACCINE PRDUCTION
INDUSTRIES
 Different Vaccines :
 There are 4 main types of vaccines:
 Live-attenuated vaccines
 Inactivated vaccines
 Subunit, recombinant, polysaccharide, and
conjugate vaccines
 Toxoid vaccines

19. MICROBIOLOGISTS IN VACCINE PRDUCTION
INDUSTRIES
 Live – attenuated Vaccines :
Live vaccines use a weakened (or attenuated)
form of the germ that causes a disease.
 Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR combined
vaccine)
 Rotavirus
 Smallpox
 Chickenpox
 Yellow fever

20. MICROBIOLOGISTS IN VACCINE PRDUCTION
INDUSTRIES
 Inactivated Vaccines :
 Inactivated vaccines use the killed version of the
germ that causes a disease.
 Inactivated vaccines usually don’t provide immunity
like live vaccines. So needs many booster doses.
 Inactivated vaccines are used to protect against :
 Hepatitis A
 Flu
 Polio
 Rabies

21. MICROBIOLOGISTS IN VACCINE PRDUCTION
INDUSTRIES
 Subunit, recombinant, polysaccharide, and conjugate
vaccines
 Uses specific pieces of the germ — like its protein, sugar,
or capsid.
 These vaccines are used to protect against:
 Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b) disease
 Hepatitis B
 HPV (Human papillomavirus)
 Whooping cough
 Pneumococcal disease
 Meningococcal disease
 Shingles

22. MICROBIOLOGISTS IN VACCINE PRDUCTION
INDUSTRIES
 Toxoid vaccines
 Toxoid vaccines use a toxin (harmful product)
made by the germ that causes a disease.
 Like some other types of vaccines, you may
need booster shots to get ongoing protection
against diseases.
 Toxoid vaccines are used to protect against:
 Diphtheria
 Tetanus
