After completing your B.Sc. in Microbiology you can further do M.Sc in Applied microbiology, Medical microbiology, Food microbiology, Industrial microbiology, Genetics, Biotechnology, Bio-informatics, microbial technology, Clinical Research, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Forensic Sciences, Hospital Management. Basically for doing B.Sc in Microbiology you must clear the +2 level with Biology as one of the subject.

What are the latest industry trends in this field?

Microbiology is all about small organisms which cannot be seen by our eyes. The latest work done by a microbiologist using micro-organisms includes production of new compounds like insulin, interferon and other recombinant products. Manufacture of food and pharmaceutical products are done usually probiotic microbes. Raw materials like lignocellulosics, algae and other biomass material are used in the manufacture of Biofuels like bioethanol and biodiesel in order to replace fossil fuels. New recombinant vaccines are produced to replace crude vaccines and make them polyvalent to reduce the dosage.
