I'm going to mention things that I've noticed looking into microscopes that I feel can be implemented to the game for realism and physics.
1. Current
Even in microscopic water, current is a defining factor. And not only apparent, but a legit difficulty for micro organisms. Water at that size is like a thick soup to us. So imagine swimming through a pool of pea soup with a huge pump pushing against you. This can give the player a challenge once caught within the current.
2. Detritus
Most microbes use sand, plant, fecal, dirt ect. particles as hiding spots, and as resources. When chased by a predator, dig into drifting detritus particles, or corner your prey in them. Or just eat them! Detritus should be further looked into. As well, if you push hard enough, you'll be able to move it.
3. Cilia Physics
I am unsure if this is already implemented, but the cilia of micro organisms create current. It should be able to slightly push away other NPCs just barely.
I might have more, but I'd just like you guys to digest these words I typed onto the computer screen.
