    Microbiology MCQ

    Microbiology is the study of living organisms that are not visible to the naked eyes. All the
    microorganisms such as amoeba, protozoa, viruses, bacteria are studied under microbiology. The
    microbes play a major role in nutrient cycling, decomposition, food spoilage, control and cause
    of diseases and biotechnology. Due to their versatile nature, they can be used for different
    purposes.
    Given below is a set of MCQs on microbiology along with the answers for reference. These will
    help the students to enhance their conceptual knowledge.
