Your explanation corresponds with my understanding, but like you, I do not understand how the microorganisms work in the ceramics. I think the effect is subtle, like homeopathy, but I can not give a better explanation than that. Reading Higa's books give some idea, however. I understand that no microorganisms leach out of the ceramics; I am not entirely sure, however, that microorganisms even in fired clay are all dead! If you read about the survival of some microbes under incredibly high temperatures you will understand what I mean.
If I get a better grasp on all this I will post more info.
