- the only way viruses can reproduce is by inserting themselves into a cell and taking it over, forcing the cell to make copies of the virus.
- bacteria reproduce by dividing in two (fission), this is usually asexual but under certain circumstances two bacteria can exchange some DNA in a process similar to sexual reproduction before dividing.

∙ 13y agoViruses are like a parasite on a cellular level. Technically they aren't even living. There are multiple types of Viruses that do many things. The type of Virus your most likely asking about is called a Bacteriophage. They are basically a strand of DNA covered by a special membrane that allows them to break through cell membranes. The Virus breaks through the membrane outside of a cell (bacteria is a single cell organism) and "hijacks" the cell. Since cell's produce proteins according to which part of the genetic code they are reading, the Virus alters the DNA of the cell by injecting its own DNA into the nucleus in order to trick the cell into producing more Viruses or at least all the proteins the Viruses need in order to assemble. The Viruses then reproduce inside the cell in mass quantities until they burst from the cell and repeat the process on their next victim. After this happens the cell either dies or is left alive and will produce more cells. These new cells will then continue to produce more of the same virus.
If your question was how do people do it purposely, i don't exactly know. Other than introducing a certain virus to a certain bacteria in a dish. Hope this helps!

∙ 15y agobecause the virus injects acid into the cell and the nucleic acid directs the cell to make new parts which makes new viruses form.

Why its important to grow bacteria in lab?
Cultivation of bacteria is essential for the study of bacteria, usually in the development of vaccines for particular pathogens.
What percent of bacteria survive to grow on agar?
95% of microbes can not be grown on cultured media so its highly unlikely that you would take a sample and all of the microorganisms grow. I had this same question in my lab manual and thats how my professor described it.
Why do you culture microorganisms in lab?
to kill contaminants like bacteria and fungi from laboratory
What nourishes bacteria?
moisture noruishes bacteria. the wet damp atmosphere is an ideal conditions for bacteria to grow. the temperature also has a rapid effect on bacteria, the warmer the climate, the more easily bacteria is grown.
What can you do once you have cultured bacteria?
A person can not see what is in the culture until it is grown and then tests are run. An incubator is where they are grown in dishes or tubes.
Does penicillin have bacteria?
it is grown from bacteria
Who make lab grown diamonds?
There are currently only a handful of labs that make lab grown *gem* quality diamonds. Gemesis and Apollo are two.If you are asking about lab grown diamonds that are of industrial quality (small, not pretty pieces) then there are lots including GE, Sumitomo and DeBeers (E6).I've attached links to a grower and a seller of lab grown diamonds for jewelry below.
Is KFC chicken lab grown?
no
Is marijuana made in a lab?
No, it is a plant and can be grown.
How does the hobby-gemologist document or calculate the carat weight of various natural and lab-grown stones?
Apparently, lab-grown diamonds and mined diamonds from the earth, when cut and polished are both weighed in carats. It is important, however, to document any lab-grown stone as such. Note that Gemological Institute of America certification for lab-grown stones will always note their origin and provide the four Cs, and apparently the European Gemological Laboratory can grade lab-grown stone. You can read more, below.
Can viruses be grown in lab on synthetic material?
No. They need living cells or tissues to be grown.
Where is lysergic acid diethylamide grown?
In a lab. It isn't grown, it's a synthetic chemical.
What are Lab Grown Diamonds?
Lab grown Moissanite Diamonds are as natural as diamonds mined from the earth. Lab grown Diamonds are Similar to World Mined Diamonds in Every Way, but they are Developed in a Lab. They have the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as mined Diamonds and show the same Fire, Scintillation, and Sparkle. Visit Here:- Nakshu Jewels
How is synthetic androgen produced?
It can be produced by bacteria in a lab.
Why did they invented penicillin?
It wasn't invented on purpose. It was a Scottish guy that invented it and the story goes: he left a window in his lab opened and went on holiday, when he arrived back at the lab he noticed that the bacterium he had growing in his petree dishes had grown all over except in circles around a piece of mold or fungus or something that had blown into the lab through the window. He extracted the stuff that was in the circle that was clear of bacteria and worked out that the substance must either kill or hinder the growth of bacteria.
