Care a bit about certain microorganisms? (8)
I believe the answer is:
bacteria
'certain microorganisms?' is the definition.
'bacteria' can be an answer for 'microorganisms?' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm unsure of the 'certain' bit.
'care a bit about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'care'+'a'+'bit'='careabit'
'careabit' with letters rearranged gives 'BACTERIA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bacteria that I've seen before include "Microscopic organisms, can carry disease" , "Single-cell organism" , "Microscopic organisms, may cause disease" , "These single-cell organisms are in bait race" , "The organisms are in bait race, strangely" .)
