Microbes collectively refer to bacteria, yeasts, and fungi. In general, microbes are defined as mushrooms or bacteria.

Bacteria are prokaryotic monocellular organisms. Most of them are 0.2 to 10μm in size and present a globe, rod, or line shape.

Mold is the generic name of filamentous organisms among fungi. They are 2 to 100μm in size, and referred to as filamentous organism because their filament looks like a string.

A virus is a small parasite that presents nucleic acid, either RNA or DNA, as its genetic material. Viruses can only grow in the host infected cells. They can be classified into two types according to their structures: a structure in which genes are contained in a capsid, which only consists of protein; and a structure in which the capsid is surrou [..]
