How can you use “microbial” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Unless the samples are used in an on-site toxicity test the day of collection (or hand delivered to the testing laboratory for use on the day of collection), they should be chilled and maintained at 0-6°C until used to inhibit microbial degradation, chemical transformations, and loss of highly volatile toxic substances.
The extremely large volume in CS containers may have supported high densities of microbes in the water column and prevented leaf litter from packing together, thus allowing more surface area for microbial growth and less interference among mosquitoes browsing for food than in smaller volume containers where leaves were more tightly packed.
Small microbial genomes have relatively few types of repeats, and relatively few copies of each type.
We observed more tightly packed leaf litter in smaller containers with high leaf litter quantities, but we did not measure microbial growth, so this idea remains to be tested.
For example, a series of landmark papers in the late 1980's and early 1990's showed that microbial diversity could be analyzed by sequencing 16S rDNAs from environmental samples (reviewed by [ 1 ] ). Giovannoni used this approach to show that there is a cosmopolitan marine bacterium, designated SAR11, using 44 16S rDNA sequences [ 2 ] . Today, it would be reasonable to perform the same study with thousands of 16S rDNA sequences.
