An interesting aspect could be if we were able to controle these microbes, or perhaps geneticaly engineered ones, and use them to generate "rainfall on command"...
For instance if a forestfire erupts, we could just "summon" our small allies, and extinguish the flames with little or even no risc for human lives.
(Not that forestfires are to be put out, as they are quite good for the environment, but you get the point)
