amicrobe[never before seen on Earth] that might escape from the laboratoryand it would kill vast numbers of humans who would have no natural defenses against it.
The above noun phrase is a noun modifier of "an “Andromeda strain".Here,the parallelism comes into play;a microbe that might escape and (that might) kill.
Notice that there is no comma before "and".Hence,the subject
