A microorganism (from the Greek : μικρός , mikros , "small" and ὀργανισμός , organismós , "organism") or microbe is a microscopic organism , which may be a single cell [1] or multicellular organism . The study of microorganisms is called microbiology , a subject that began with Antonie van Leeuwenhoek 's discovery of microorganisms in 1675, using a microscope of his own design. On 8 November 2013, scientists reported the discovery of what may be the earliest signs of life on Earth - the oldest complete fossils of a microbial mat (associated with sandstone in Western Australia ) estimated to be 3.48 billion years old.

A microorganism (also spelled as microrganism ) or microbe is an organism that is microscopic (too small to be seen by the naked human eye alone). The study of microorganisms is called microbiology . Microorganisms include bacteria , fungi , archaea or protists , but not viruses and prions , which are generally classified as non-living. Most microorganisms are single- celled , or unicellular , but some are microscopic, and some unicellular protists are visible to the average human . |

A microorganism or microbe is an organism that is microscopic (too small to be visible to the human eye). The study of microorganisms is called microbiology . Microorganisms can be bacteria , fungi , archaea or protists , but not viruses and prions because they are generally classified as non-living. Micro-organisms are often described as single- celled , or unicellular organisms; however, some unicellular protists are visible to the human eye, and some multicellular species are microscopic. |

A micro-organism or microbe is an organism that is so small that it is invisible to the naked eye. The term is synonymous by usage to single- celled organism , and unicellular organism , even though some consist of more than one cell, some unicellular protists are visible to the naked eye, and some colonial species are microscopic. All unicellular organisms are able to reproduce themselves without help of other organisms, as opposed to viruses . |
