Environmental microbiology is the study of the composition and physiology of microbial communities in the environment. The environment in this case means the soil, water, air and sediments covering the planet and can also include the animals and plants that inhabit these areas. Environmental microbiology also includes the study of microorganisms that exist in artificial environments such as bioreactors.
Delicate cultures including stem cells and primary cells are increasingly used in cell therapy research and development for applications in oncology, immunology, neurology and more. Commonly,...
