The phrase "as a microbe" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing characteristics, behaviors, or roles of something in relation to microbes, often in a scientific or metaphorical context.
Example: "The organism functions as a microbe, playing a crucial role in the ecosystem by breaking down organic matter."
Alternatives: "in the role of a microbe" or "like a microbe".
Dr. W. Ian Lipkin, whose team at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health did the lab work, regularly is described as a "microbe hunter" in articles lionizing him for his work in a variety of areas, including West Nile virus, dying honeybees and the 2011 medical thriller movie "Contagion".
He wonders whether that approach makes it inherently more risky to release the resulting GM organism such as a microbe designed to break down pollutants.
We have defined a pathogen as a microbe that can cause damage in a host.
The CRISPR-Cas9 also offers the potential for engineering the two ends of the cooperation motifs (such as a microbe and its host plant) thus creating additional pathways for our proposed intervention.
If this is the case, the xylanase Xyn11A may be one of the means by which B. cinerea induces HR, so that this necrotroph would take advantage of the plants ability to recognize xylanase as a microbe associated molecular pattern, and generate a defence response aimed at biotrophic pathogens, to use the hypersensitive response for its own benefit.
As is the case for all psychiatric disorders, the diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is not based on a specific pathological agent, such as a microbe, a toxin, or a genetic mutation, but rather on the collection of signs and symptoms and evidence of impairment that occur together more frequently than expected by chance (Todd et al. 2005).
Potentially, the expression of CBMs alone can disrupt cell wall architecture and interfere with plant development [ 45] or act as a microbe-associated molecular pattern (MAMP) to trigger a defense reaction, such as the accumulation of sesquiterpene cyclase [ 46, 47].
A. thaliana callus and leaf callus tissues respond to LPS as a microbe-associated molecular pattern molecule through dynamic changes to the microtranscriptome associated with differential transcriptional regulation in support of immunity and basal resistance.
Our study describing the tongue coating microbial community of patients with GC may lead to the development of tongue coating analysis as a microbe-related tool for the early diagnosis of gastric cancer.
Tolerance and reduction at concentrations higher than 20 mM are an advantage to a microbe as molybdenum pollution could reach as high as 2000 ppm (20.8 mM molybdate) [ 44], a concentration lethal to ruminant [ 45].
This strain was originally isolated from human saliva and is used as a model microbe in the study of host-microbe interactions, due to its established taxonomy, its ability to survive gastrointestinal (GI) transit [ 8] and its putative role as a probiotic species [ 9].
