Animals as well as microbes are as any other object manifestations of perception. And the "laws of physics" are created principles, they have no mind-independent meaning and thus no validity (not to be interpreted in the realist sense). They all depend on a context in which they can be interpreted and understood.
I can interpret "forces and laws" as the principle of causality. It is however wrong to say that we experience causality, rather, causality is a form in which experience necessarily must be in. Thus any conscious agent, like an animal, must experience according to this principle. I don't think we can give microbes the property of being conscious. To say that microbes experience forces and laws would be like saying a rock is experiencing forces and laws.
The main point is to detach oneself from the view of an objective world subject to proper understanding. It is at best a misleading concept.
