the virus that infects bacteria is bacteriophage
What else can I help you with?
What are the viruses the infect bacteria called?
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria.
What are viruses that infect bacteria called?
the virus that infects bacteria is bacteriophage
When viruses infect bacteria what is it called?
A bacteriophage
Viruses that infect bacteria are?
called bacteriophages. They are viruses that specifically infect and replicate within bacteria, ultimately leading to the death of the host cell. Bacteriophages play a crucial role in controlling bacterial populations in various environments.
Do viruses only infect only animals?
No, they dont, they can infect plants and bacteria too.
True or false bacteriophages are viruses that parasitize bacteria?
I wouldn't call bacteriophages parasites, but yes they are viruses which infect bacteria.
What virus infect bacteria?
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria. These viruses inject their genetic material into a bacterium, which then uses the bacterium's machinery to produce more phages. This eventually leads to the lysis of the bacterium and release of new phages to infect other bacteria.
What type of virus infect bacteria?
Bacteriophage
Are bacteria spread the same way as viruses?
Bacteria and viruses can be spread through similar methods such as sneezing, coughing, or touching contaminated surfaces. However, viruses typically require a host cell to replicate, while bacteria can multiply on their own. Antibiotics are effective against bacteria but not viruses.
What types of organisms does bacteriophage attack?
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria. They do not infect human cells or other eukaryotic organisms. Bacteriophages are specific to infecting particular bacterial species or strains.
Are viruses general or specific to the cells that they infect?
viruses are specific to the cells they infect called host cells
A virus that attacks and destroys bacteria is called?
A bacteriophage. Bacteriophages are viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria by injecting their genetic material into the bacterial cell, ultimately causing the cell to burst and release more phages to infect other bacteria.
