Viruses that infect bacteria are called?
the virus that infects bacteria is bacteriophage
Can a bacteria infect a virus?
No bacteria is huge compared to a virus
What are viruses that infect bacteria called?
the virus that infects bacteria is bacteriophage
A virus that infects bacteria?
A virus that infects bacteria is called a bacteriophage. Bacteriophages inject their genetic material into the bacteria and use the host's machinery to replicate. They are being studied for potential use in treating bacterial infections in humans.
How does the size of a virus compare with the size of a bacterium?
A virus is much much much smaller then a bacterium. Virus called phage can 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 is a virus that reproduces in a bacterium called?
A bacteriaphage (literally bacteria eater) is a virus that reproduces in a bacterium.
What type of virus infect bacteria?
Bacteriophage
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.
Can a virus attack only man?
No they can infect animals, plants, and bacteria.
What shape are viruses that attack bacteria?
A virus that attacks bacteria is called a "Bacteriophage"
What is the shape of virus that attacks bacteria?
The shape of a virus that attacks bacteria is typically cylindrical or polyhedral. These viruses that infect bacteria are known as bacteriophages and come in various shapes and sizes.
