Some bacteria, most notably species in the genus Streptomyces and Actinomycetes produce antibiotics as secondary metabolites. Aside from bacteria, some fungi such as Penicillium produce antibiotics as well. Scientists were then able to purify the antibiotics produced from the microbes for clinical purposes.

Microbiology
How are microbes useful in household life?
Microbes are very important part of ecology the main or general function of microbes to human or enviornmental wellfare is to work as decomposers. Microbes like bacteria and fungi are also used in industrial production of enzymes and proteins or some antibiotics. Some fungi like yeast is also used in making wine and other in dairy products.The another useful function of microbe is to study the action and mechaninsms of genetic disease as E.coli is many time taken as model to study genetic diseases

What is a microbiologist?
Someone who studies microbiology is called a microbiologist. Microbes are bacteria. Typically the discipline is split into industrial microbiology and medical microbiology. The former study mostly fermentation processes on a large scale which are used to produce beer, antibiotics, pharmaceuticals and enzymes. The latter diagnose and study the pathogenic microbes which make people/animals ill. You will also find microbiologists carrying out health inspections, For example, in factories or resturants where food is made and testing water quality for bathing and drinking.
What does a microbioligist study?

What are the importance and usefulness of statistics in medical microbiology?
state play an important role in the field of microbiology. it has made the work of a microbiologist more easier. it is the study of different angles on which the study of microbes based. it show the study of microbes in a line and represent the data in a graph. microbial growth curve also depend upon stats beacuse the growth of microbes are showed in a graph.similarly microbiologist study microbes under microscope with different angles and after observation they have to describe their structure which also the work of a statacian. so this means that stats has great impact on microbiology.
What do microbiologists use microscopes for?
they study things called microbes that can only be seen with a microscope.
Why do study science?
we study science so as to develop ourselves
