There is one problem, though.
The water column the microorganism travels is not uniform and endless. As it travels, the conditions change. Some can be easily adjusted (for example lighting), some would be much more difficult to get (pressure, chemical composition).
So while the microorganism can travel it can't actually get anywhere.
