Professional Microbiology Translations
Most of the living things in the world are so small that one cannot see them with the naked eye. Microbiology studies these creatures. It deals with single cell organisms or simple multiple cell microorganisms.
It Was a Long Way
The mere knowledge of the existence of microbiological creatures was the first important step toward the creation of a separate branch of science. Once it was believed that diseases were caused by bad fumes called miasmas. Basically, the idea of microscopic creatures was already hiding behind this theory, but it could not be proven until after the invention of the first microscope by Robert Hooke and Antoni van Leeuwenhoek. This invention allowed Louis Pasteur to study the nature of different pathogens, thus founding the branch of medical microbiology. Meanwhile, microbiology is ubiquitous and can be used to study different areas throughout the world. Hence, translators in the field of microbiology are increasingly in demand. We can translate any document in the field of microbiology, from technical equipment IFUs to specialized software localization and highly technical translations of scientific papers. If you would like to have the best translators work on your texts, you are in the right hands. We will search our database of 4.200 native translators to find the best suited translator for your project. Trust our expertise and allow us to help you with professional advice. We look forward to your call!
The Science of Microbiology
The term microbiology encompasses a whole range of sub-areas, each dedicated to a different kind of microbiological life.
- Bacteriology: the science of bacteria
- Virology: the science of viruses
- Mycology: the science of fungi
- Protozoology: the science of protozoa
Based on its application, this science can also be divided into soil microbiology, marine microbiology, and food microbiology.
Most important for us humans is, of course, the medical microbiology. It deals with all pathogenic live microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi, and how they can be combated or otherwise used. It in turn is divided into human medicine and veterinary medicine.
Methods in Microbiology
The research methods used in microbiology are as diverse as its applications and the people working in this area. In most cases, biologists work in sterile laboratories where they examine samples of strains and determine their composition and properties. In the food industry, they are also involved in the planning and manufacturing process and give advice or issue certificates for tested and safe production process. In the areas of human and veterinary medicine, biologists work with both live and dead animals and humans. Here you can take samples directly from the test subject, examine them, and take appropriate countermeasures. For field applications, for example in agriculture, samples are taken directly on site and often also tested there.
