Ch. 1 Summary - Microbiology - OpenStax
Eukaryotes studied in microbiology include algae, protozoa, fungi, and helminths. Algae are plant-like organisms that can be either unicellular or multicellular, and derive energy via photosynthesis. Protozoa are unicellular organisms with complex cell structures; most are motile.

1.1 The Science of Biology - Biology 2e - OpenStax
Biology is a science, but what exactly is science? What does the study of biology share with other scientific disciplines? We can define science (from the Latin scientia , meaning “knowledge”) as knowledge that covers general truths or the operation of general laws, especially when acquired and tested by the scientific method.
1.1 What Our Ancestors Knew - Microbiology - OpenStax
Historical evidence suggests that humans have had some notion of microbial life since prehistoric times and have used that knowledge to develop foods as well as prevent and treat disease. In this section, we will explore some of the historical applications of microbiology as well as the early beginnings of microbiology as a science.
