•higher education institutions.

5. You also develop other more
general skills, including:
teamwork and the ability to work on your own
initiative
a flexible approach to work
problem-solving skills
communication
time management and organizational skills
the ability to evaluate your own performance
and that of others.

6. Further study
Some graduates go on to further study at Masters
or PhD level in subjects such as:
biochemistry
bioinformatics
biotechnology
environmental microbiology
genetics
medical microbiology

9. The following are examples of types of
microbiologists:
Bacteriologists study the growth, development, and other
properties of bacteria, including the positive and negative
effects that bacteria have on plants, animals, and humans.
Clinical microbiologists perform a wide range of clinical
laboratory tests on specimens collected from plants, humans,
and animals to aid in detection of disease. Clinical and
medical microbiologists whose work involves directly
researching human health may be classified as medical
scientists.
Environmental microbiologists study how microorganisms
interact with the environment and each other. They may
study the use of microbes to clean up areas contaminated by
heavy metals or study how microbes could aid crop growth.

10. Industrial microbiologists study and solve problems related to
industrial production processes. They may examine microbial growth
found in the pipes of a chemical factory, monitor the impact
industrial waste has on the local ecosystem, or oversee the microbial
activities used in cheese production to ensure quality.
Mycologists study the properties of fungi such as yeast and mold.
They also study the ways fungi can be used to benefit society (for
example, in food or the environment) and the risks fungi may pose.
Parasitologists study the life cycle of parasites, the parasite-host
relationship, and how parasites adapt to different environments.
They may investigate the outbreak and control of parasitic diseases
such as malaria.
Public health microbiologists examine specimens to track, control,
and prevent communicable diseases and other health hazards. They
typically provide laboratory services for local health departments
and community health programs.
Virologists study the structure, development, and other properties of
viruses and any effects viruses have on infected organisms.
Many people with a microbiology background become high school
teachers or postsecondary teachers.
