Question

microbe Vaccines reduce the risk of diseases by using dead or greatly weakened microbes to stimulate the immune system. ˈmaɪˌkroʊb

Accepted Answer

An organism (such as a bacterium) of microscopic or less than microscopic size. 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
