  • What Is a Microorganism?
    Microbiology: What is it? ! Study of organisms who are too small to be seen without a microscope. ! Study of small organisms or microorganisms. NOT just Bacteria! ! Study of single celled organisms. The original cell biology! ! Categories & subjects based on the type of organisms: (1) Viruses – Virology (acellular) (2a) Bacteria – Bacteriology (e.g. Prokaryotes) (2b) Archea – Archeaology? (already taken) (3) Fungi – Mycology (4) Algae – Phycology (5) Protozoa – Protozoology WHAT IS A MICROORGANISM? “There is no simple answer to this question. The word ‘microorganism’ is not the name of a group of related organisms, as are the words ‘plants’ or ‘invertebrates’ or ‘fish’. The use of the word does, however, indicate that there is something special about small organisms; we use no special word to denote large organisms or medium-sized ones. - Sistrom (1969) 1 Reasons to study Microbiology: (1) Bacteria are part of us! E. coli lives in our gut and produces essential vitamins (e.g. K). (2) Infectivity & Pathogenicity; MO’s have the ability to cause disease in compromised &/or heathy hosts. (3) MO’s in the environment; Bioremediation or use of MO’s to breakdown waste compounds like oil, pesticides, etc. Mineral cycling of elements like N, S, Fe, etc. (4) Applied Microbiology or use in agriculture and industry. (5) Understand basic biological processes: Evolution, Ecology, Genetics, etc. WHY STUDY MICROBIOLOGY? “The role of the infinitely small is infinitely large.” - Louis Pasteur (1862) 2 WE ARE NOT ALONE! “We are outnumbered. The average human contains about 10 trillion cells. On that average human are about 10 times as many microorganisms, or 100 trillion cells...As long as they stay in balance and where they belong, [they] do us no harm…In fact, many of them provide some important services to us.

The award is given to Indian bio-scientists of less than 45 years of age, who has made unique contributions towards the development of state of art in basic and applied areas of biological sciences. The award carries a citation, a plaque, a cash prize of Rs 300,000 and a research support grant of Rs 15,00,000 for three years. It is considered as one of the highest Indian science awards and as equivalent to the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize given by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research of India. Dr. Ashraf is currently a Professor in the Department of Biotechnology at Faculty of Natural Sciences, Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI), New Delhi. Prior to this he was Head of the Genomics Division at Defence Institute of Physiology and Allied Sciences (DIPAS), Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO), Delhi. Dr. Ashraf is pioneer in the field of high altitude thrombosis and has done novel work in resolving the mystery of blood clotting on exposure to hypoxia at high altitudes in Soldiers posted at extreme altitudes including Siachen Glacier. His research has unraveled many problems associated with high altitude thrombosis and mechanisms associated with its pathology.

Fernandez,4 and Roman Stocker4 Abstract Meaningful motion is an unambiguous biosignature, but because life in the Solar System is most likely to be microbial, the question is whether such motion may be detected effectively on the micrometer scale. Recent results on microbial motility in various Earth environments have provided insight into the physics and biology that determine whether and how microorganisms as small as bacteria and archaea swim, under which condi- tions, and at which speeds. These discoveries have not yet been reviewed in an astrobiological context. This paper discusses these findings in the context of Earth analog environments and environments expected to be encountered in the outer Solar System, particularly the jovian and saturnian moons.
