Environmental Microbiology

Environmental microbiology is a branch of microbiology that studies the interactions between microorganisms and their environments, exploring their roles in ecosystems, biogeochemical cycles, and environmental processes. As the world grapples with climate change, pollution, and sustainability challenges, environmental microbiology research is crucial for understanding and mitigating human impacts on the environment, informing strategies for bioremediation, conservation, and ecosystem management, and unlocking new biotechnological applications.
