Abstract
E.Y. BRIDSON and G.W. GOULD.2000. Quantal microbiology describes a similarity between physics and microbiology. In both sciences there is an apparent dichotomy between the certainty and stability of the macro-subject and the uncertainty/complexity of the individual atom/cell. Classical physics is to quantum mechanics as classical microbiology is to quantal microbiology.Keywords
