Biotechnology is associated with a wide range of tasks and is used in addressing many problems across various industries. Interdisciplinary nature of biotechnology results in numerous products and technologies which includes medical biotechnology, pharmaceutical biotechnology, plant biotechnology, cellular biotechnology, fermentation biotechnology, food biotechnology, environmental biotechnology, and bioinformatics.

Microbiology - In microbiology, you will study about microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, etc.You will study about diseases caused by different types of bacteria and viruses and evolution of microorganisms and their impact.
The subject will help you in understanding pathogenic potential of the organisms that cause disease.

Scope :

Through Biotechnology, you can enter into sectors related to industrial processes in different types of industries like agricultural, pharmaceutical and medical, you will find jobs in research and development along with management jobs.
Biotech professionals are in high demand in labs as well as managerial positions.

On the other hand, Microbiology degree can offer you jobs mainly in research and development and some specific industries.
So, as far as scope and options is concerned then Biotechnology will give you more number of job options in India as well as abroad. But if you are interested in research then Microbiology is best option.

I hope this helps.
