It literally means bacteria + to eat; these viruses were discovered to generate regions of clear plaques with no bacterial growth when placed on an agar plate covered by a lawn of bacteria.

Answer 2

a bacteriophage

however, these can be used in biotechnology; these viruses can have their DNA altered so that it injects DNA that scientists want in the bacteria (ex. the gene that produces human insulin)

Answer 3

A bacteriophage is a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria. It injects its genetic material into the bacterial cell, hijacking its machinery to produce more phages. This ultimately destroys the bacteria and releases new phages to infect other bacterial cells.

Answer 4

A virus that infects bacteria is called a bacteriophage.
