Dec 17, 2017 at 8:03 comment added user37894 Microbe is not a taxonomic unit: there are no microbial species. --- "Microbe" is "an extremely minute living being"---one needs a microscope to see it. And what is the opposite of microbe? Macrobe, of course. Microbe (viz. microbiology, microbiome, etc.) is a very popular, but not very useful, concept.
