Microbiology is the study of micro organisms, which
are unicellular or cell-cluster microscopic organisms. This includes
eukaryotes such as fungi and protists, and prokaryotes such as bacteria
and certain algaes.
| Viruses, though not strictly classed as living
organisms, are also studied. People that study the field of
microbiology are known as microbiologists.Although much is now known
in the field of microbiology, advances are being made regularly. The
most common estimates suggest that we have studied only about 1% of
all of the microbes in any given environment. Thus, despite the fact
that over three hundred years have passed since the discovery of
microbes, the field of microbiology is clearly in its infancy
relative to other biological disciplines such as zoology, botany and
entomology. |

The major factor limiting widespread use of transgenic animals in
agricultural production systems is the relatively inefficient rate
(success rate less than 10 percent) of production of transgenic animals.
