Question

Which of the following is not a subfield of microbiology?​

Answer 1

Viruses is not a subfield of microbiology

Explanation:

Microbiologists, on the other hand, tend to specialise in one of numerous subfields. Bacteriology, for example, is the study of bacteria; mycology, of fungus; protozoology, of protozoa; parasitology, of helminths and other parasites; and virology, of viruses.

Viruses are categorised as microbes, however they are not classified as living beings. Viruses cannot multiply or metabolise on their own outside of a host cell. Viruses infect both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and cause sickness.

There are four different types of microbiology:

• Bacteria,
• archaea,
• fungus (yeasts and moulds),
• algae,
• protozoa, and viruses are the principal groups of microorganisms.
