microbiologically
At microbial scale
In a manner relating to microbiology—the study of microscopic organisms like bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
The term appears most often in scientific and regulatory contexts: microbiologically safe drinking water, The samples were tested microbiologically.
Food and water quality standards frequently specify that products must be microbiologically stable or free from contamination.
