Food microbiology is the study of microorganisms that affect food, including bacteria, viruses, molds, and yeasts. It plays a key role in understanding how these organisms can spoil food, cause foodborne illnesses, or, in some cases, be beneficial for food production. For example, bacteria are used in fermentation to create yogurt, cheese, and bread.
