Micro-organisms, by their omnipresence, impact the entire biosphere. Microbial life plays a primary role in regulating bio-geochemical systems in virtually all of our planet's environments. Microbial Ecology is the study of microbes in the environment and their interactions with each other. Microbes are the tiniest creatures on Earth, yet despite their small size, they have a huge impact on us and on our environment.
The nature of this field of ecology requires the units to have a laboratory of sorts to analyse particular microbes and organisms.
