Professional English for Microbiology How would we study this subject? I would plan to teach this course by presenting the knowledge relative to Microbiology in English, in which I would let you know the professional words for Microbiology, and further let you understand literatures written in English, and finally hope that you could write a paper in English. Final refutation of spontaneous generation – birth of microbiology as a science Discovery of the existence of anaerobic life – fermentation Vaccines Pasteurization The conflict over spontaneous generation Spontaneous generation – that living organisms could develop from nonliving or decomposing matter. Conclusion: Microorganisms are not spontaneously generated from inanimate matter, but are produced by other microorganisms The microorganisms must be present in every case of the disease but absent from healthy organisms. The suspected microorganisms must be isolated and grown in a pure culture. The disease must result when the isolated microorganisms is inoculated into a healthy host. The same microorganisms must be isolated again from the diseased host The Future of Microbiology As the preceding sections have shown, microbiology has had a profound influence on society. What of the future? Science writer Bernard Dixon is very optimistic about microbiology’s future for two reasons. First, microbiology has a clearer mission than do many other scientific disciplines. Second, it is confident of its value because of its practical significance. Dixon notes that microbiology is required both to face the threat of new and reemerging human infectious diseases and to develop industrial technologies that are more efficient and environmentally friendly. What are some of the most promising areas for future microbiological research and their potential practical impacts? 1. New infectious diseases are continually arising and old diseases are once again becoming widespread and destructive. 2. Microbiologists mus
