Learner's definition of MICROBE
[count]
: an extremely small living thing that can only be seen with a microscope : microorganism微生物
- a disease-causing microbe致病的微生物
Did you know?
A hint of the Greek word bios, meaning "life", can be seen in microbe. Microbes, or microorganisms, include bacteria, protozoa, fungi, algae, amoebas, and slime molds. Many people think of microbes as simply the causes of disease, but every human is actually the host to billions of microbes, and most of them are essential to our life. Much research is now going into possible microbial sources of future energy; algae looks particularly promising, as do certain newly discovered or created microbes that can produce cellulose, to be turned into ethanol and other biofuels.
Example Sentences
Recent Examples on the Web The quest to learn the secrets of one particular microbe buried in deep sea mud, for example, took a team of Japanese researchers 12 years. 
Monique Brouillette, Wired, 18 Dec. 2020 For example, researchers at the Center for Marine Biotechnology and Biomedicine recently found a deep-sea microbe that tackles an aggressive form of brain cancer, a discovery that is currently in late-stage drug trials. Natallie Rocha, San Diego Union-Tribune, 4 Aug. 2022 Drugs are routinely recalled after testing positive for microbe contamination. Chris Smith, BGR, 27 July 2022 For the company developing the microbe or fermentation process, scale is the hardest part, and the question of capacity could limit important breakthroughs. Eben Bayer, Forbes, 25 July 2022 For instance, French doctor Charles Louis Alphonse Laveran was among those who suspected that malaria was caused by a microbe and not miasmas. Kate S. Petersen, USA TODAY, 28 June 2022 The microbe makes a potent anti-fungal, Newton said, which protects developing larvae from fungal pathogens. Karl Schneider, The Indianapolis Star, 21 July 2022 Maybe, for instance, the microbe’s ability to switch up its surface will hit some sort of ceiling. Katherine J. Wu, The Atlantic, 14 July 2022 As a result, the risk of infection from the unnamed microbe remains. Chris Smith, BGR, 12 July 2022 See More
