mikrobielle

Mikrobielle is a term used in several languages to describe anything related to microorganisms. In scientific usage, the concept encompasses bacteria, archaea, fungi, algae, protozoa, and, in many contexts, viruses, though the status of viruses as living organisms is debated.

Applications of mikrobielle concepts span multiple fields. In microbiology, researchers study the physiology, genetics, metabolism, and

Common methods associated with mikrobielle work include cultivation under controlled conditions, microscopy, DNA sequencing and metagenomics,
