Microbial diversity and Ecology program deals with the study of microorganisms, including
bacteria, archaea, fungi, viruses, and other microscopic organisms, found in a particular
environment. These microorganisms are present in nearly every habitat on Earth, including soil,
water, air, and even within the bodies of plants, animals, and humans. Microbial diversity is
incredibly vast, with estimates suggesting that the majority of Earth's biodiversity is composed of
microorganisms. The program also deals with the study of the interactions between
microorganisms and their environment, as well as the relationships they have with other
organisms. It explores how microorganisms function, adapt, and respond to their surroundings
and how they influence the overall ecosystem.
