| 微生物 | micro-organism A microscopic organism, including bacteria, protozoans, yeast, viruses, and algae (一种微小生物体，包括细菌、原生动物、酵母、病毒和藻类。) |
| 微生物分析 | microbiological analysis Analysis for the identification of viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites (分析鉴定病毒、细菌、真菌和寄生虫。) |
| 微生物学 | microbiology The science and study of microorganisms, including protozoans, algae, fungi, bacteria, viruses, and rickettsiae (微生物的科学和研究，包括原生动物、藻类、细菌、菌类、病毒和立克次体。) |
| 微生物、细菌；胚原基 | germ 1. A pathogenic micro-organism. 2. Living substance capable of developing into an organ, part, or organism as a whole; a primordium (1. 一种能引发疾病的微生物 2. 能够进化成一个器官，一部分或整个有机体的活性物质；一种原基) |
| 微生物资源 | microbial resource Any available source of supply derived from microbes, which would be used for beneficial purposes, such as for the production of food substances and drugs (任何可用的来自微生物的供应源，它将被用于有益的目的，比如食品和药物的生产。) |
| 水生微生物 | aquatic micro-organism Microorganisms having a water habitat (在水中生存的微生物。) |
| 突变微生物 | mutated micro-organisms release The release of mutated micro-organisms creates the risk that they may exhibit some previously unknown pathogenicity, might take over from some naturally occurring bacteria (possibly having other positive functions which thus are lost) or pass on some unwanted trait to such indigenous bacteria. There is also concern that an uncontrolled genetic mutation could produce from such an engineered microorganism, a form with hazardous consequences for the environment (突变微生物释放造成的风险可能会展示一些以前未知的致病性，可能会接收一些自然出现的细菌(有可能因此失去其他积极功能)，或传递某些对固有细菌有害的性状。也有人担心，一个不受控制的基因突变可以生产出这样一个精心设计的微生物而对环境产生有害后果。) |
