Food Microbiology

Microorganisms, which include bacteria, yeasts, fungi, and certain protozoa, are widespread in nature. Bacteria, in particular, along with yeasts and fungi, can be found in a wide range of environments—ranging from the frigid conditions of the Antarctic, to refrigeration temperatures of 1–5°C, to the extreme heat of hot springs at 100°C, and even in deep-sea hydrothermal vents where high pressures allow organisms to thrive at temperatures up to 160°C and beyond. Various microorganisms, including viruses, bacteria, yeasts, protozoa, and worms, play significant roles in the food industry.

The study of microbial growth, including methods for measuring it, is crucial to understanding food safety. Key bacterial agents responsible for foodborne illnesses, such as Clostridium botulinum, are a central concern in this area.
