The possessive form of microbe, a microscopic organism such as a bacterium, virus, or fungus.
Used to attribute characteristics or actions to these tiny life forms: The microbe's ability to survive extreme temperatures surprised researchers.
Each microbe's role in the gut ecosystem is still being studied.
