Morphology
microbiologist = microbiology (transparent) = micro + bio + logy + ist
The word is transparently formed as a person who studies microbiology, with the agentive suffix -ist added to the base word.
Etymology
Microbiologist breaks into micro- 'small', bio- 'life', and -ist 'a person who studies', and you can see bio- in the word biology. So a microbiologist studies 'very small living things' like bacteria and viruses.
