The phrase "activity of microbes" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in scientific or educational contexts when discussing the behaviors, functions, or processes involving microorganisms.
Example: "The activity of microbes in the soil plays a crucial role in nutrient cycling and plant growth."
Alternatives: "microbial activity" or "microbial functions".
The researchers believe the structures in the rocks are stromatolites - layered formations, produced by the activity of microbes, that can be found today in extremely saline lagoons in a few locations around the world.
It also does not provide any information of the potential methanogenic activity of microbes.
It has been suggested that CO2 produced by respiration affects both the physiological activity of microbes (e.g. proliferation, metabolism, etc).
The density and activity of microbes carrying the arsM gene may differ in the root surfaces among rice cultivars.
The AWCD can directly reflect the overall carbon source metabolic activity of microbes (Garland and Mills 1991).
These processes are controlled by biological, physical and chemical factors such as growth and activity of microbes, nitrogen availability, soil temperature and water availability.
In an area of a few tens of square kilometres around this tower, the researchers will place further sensors in the soil and in local streams, to measure temperature, carbon-dioxide and nutrient levels, along with rates of root growth and the activities of microbes.
However, higher concentrations might occur in cementitious repositories, where strongly alkaline conditions minimize activities of microbes.
Every year the activities of microbes in the soil on organic matter release around 60bn tonnes of carbon dioxide into the air.
This extensive exploration of the human response to L. plantarum WCFS1 may eventually provide molecular support for specific or probiotic activity of this strain and/or species, and exemplifies the strength of the applied technology for the identification of the potential bio-activity of microbes in the human intestine.
