is a branch of microbiology dealing with plant-associated microbes and plant and animal diseases. It also deals with the microbiology of soil fertility, such as microbial degradation of organic matter and soil nutrient transformations.
There are a lot of issues currently surrounding agricultural microbiology, one of which is carbon sequestration using microorganisms. Another is the constant presence of genetically modified foods, which cause unnatural chemicals to enter the human body through fruits and vegetables.
That would be a branch of microbiology that deals with plant and animal diseases.

Industrial microbiology deals with the creation of useful products from microorganisms. It is related to chemistry because both fields are involved in studying chemical properties.
The many highly specialized fields of microbiology include:Virology,Mycology,Bacteriology,Immunology,Microbial Ecology,Microbial Evolution,Pathology and Pathogenic Microbiology,Biotechnological Microbiology,Environmental Microbiology,Food Microbiology,Forensic MicrobiologyGenomology,Microbial Genetics,Molecular Biology,Microbial Physiology,Epidemiology,Pharmacology and Pharmaceutical Microbiology,Molecular Pathogenology,Proteology,Anaerobic Microbiology,Geomicrobiology,Industrial Microbiology,Bioremediation,Aeromicrobiology,Bacterial Genetics,Microbial Taxonomy,AntimicrobiologyAquatic MicrobiologyVeterinary MicrobiologyArcheological Microbiology

A department about microbiology
"Microbiology helps us with knowing about organisms other than living ones, and microscopic ones, like bacteria, so we don't get sick all of the time. Microbiology also helps us in warding off infectious diseases, like the flu, because the flu has microscopic bacteria and viruses." Microbiology is the study of life too small to be seen by the naked (unaided) eye. It typically studies bacteria, viruses, algae and yeast. Medical microbiology examines the disease causing microbes. Marine microbiology explores microbes in the oceans and bays. Food microbiology deals with microbes used to create food (i.e. yogurt, pickles, cheeses, beer & wine) and also those that cause food borne illness.
Industrial microbiology is the use of microbes within food and other industries. Scientist are able to enhance products consumers receive using industrial microbiology.
Industrial microbiology or microbial biotechnolgy encompasses the use of microorganisms for the benefit of mankind. e.g by using them to produce industrially important substances like biopolymers, food products etc
