Introduction - Agricultural Microbiology

Microbiology often has been defined as the study of organisms and agents too small to
be seen clearly by the unaided eye—that is, the study of microorganisms. Because
objects less than about one millimeter in diameter cannot be seen clearly and must be
examined with a microscope, microbiology is concerned primarily with organisms and
agents this small and smaller

History of Microbiology in brief:

Obviously human have had to deal with microbes even before the recorded history.
The first record of human using comes from ancient tablets from mid east.
Babylonians were using yeast to make beer over 8000 years ago and acetic acid bacteria
to make vinegar over 6000 years ago.About 5000 years ago, Persia (Now Iran) region recorded the wine making.The Romans had God for that was specific for microorganisms. The roman God of
mold and mildew was ―Robigus‖ and ―Robigo” which means crop rust. (Rust is one of
the plant disease caused by fungus). God Robigus was very much feared because of
crop lost. About 2000 years ago, Romans proposed that diseases were caused by tiny animals.
But, fundamentalist religions had a strong hold over the progress. The real microbiology history starts from 1600s, when people began to make crude lenses and microscopes
