bacteriophage (literally, phage = eat, bacterio = bacteria)
It's genetic material and some enzymes sometimes which hijack the bacteria into making more viruses.
Genetic material of a bacteriophage , joined into the genome of a bacterium and able to produce phages if activated
It is called Transduction.
Much larger, prions are just proteins containing no nucleic acids or lipid bilayer.
