To the microbe, with science's eternal thanks
This issue of the Unesco Courier examines the important role of microbiology in the modern world and the growing number of tasks which micro-organisms, "harnessed" by scientists, are performing in medicine, farming, industry and other fields.
The articles in this issue were prepared in co-operation with the Panel On Microbiology of Unesco and the International Cell Research Organization (ICRO).
