Microbial Ecology
Microbial Ecology: (or environmental microbiology) is the ecology of microorganisms: their relationship with one another and with their environment. It concerns the three major domains of life-Eukaryota, Archaea, and Bacteria-as well as viruses. Microorganisms, by their omnipresence, impact the entire biosphere.
