Does Bacteria have viruses?
No. It's the other way around. Certain types of viruses (bacteriophage) will target bacteria, and they use the bacteria to reproduce the virus, called the Lytic cycle: The virus DNA or RNA enters the bacteria, takes over and new viruses are produced and when they break out of the cell through the membrane they destroy the bacteria in the process.
How are viruses different from bacteria Apex?
Viruses cannot survive outside a host. -apex
The assembliy of new viral particles can sometimes take place in the host cells nucleus. However such assembly does not occur with phage viruses Why not?
phage virus is considered to be a bacteria, and a bacteria is a prokaryote, and as known prokaryotes does not have a nucleus.
Is penicillin a bacteria?
Yes, penicillin prevents the formation of new bacterial cell wall. If a bacteria reproduces, new cell wall cannot be produced and the cell lyses and dies. However penicillin has no effect on a quiescent (non-reproducing) bacteria. Therefore penicillin is also called a bacteriostatic agent (prevents growth of bacteria), which means penicillin does stop bacteria from reproducing.
Is salmonella a bacterial virus?
No. They are bacteria. Viruses are non-living particles. They make you sick by landing on a living cell, reproducing using the cell, and then destroying the cell. The new viruses do the same. Bacteria are living single-celled organisms. The few that make you sick (about 1/15 of bacteria are pathogenic, meaning make you sick) make you sick by taking the nutrients out of other living cells. So, technically, since bacteria and viruses are completely different things, I don't think there's a such thing as a bacterial virus as one organism
Why is it important that a new vaccine be produced every year?
to avoid development of resistance of strain of bacteria or viruses.

Viruses frequently infect bacteria and insert new genes into the genetic material of the bacteria When these infected bacteria reproduce asexually which genes would most likely be passed on?
Both the original and the new genes

how are new viruses produced How might this process cause harm to the infected cell?
All viruses kill they cells that they infect. If not right away then later.
How do viruses reproduce compared to bacteria?
Viruses replicate inside body cells, using the host cell to do the work and provide the materials for reproduction. Bacteria reproduce outside body cells and, since, unlike viruses, they are living organisms, bacteria are able to do the work and production of new bacteria without a need for a host.A description of the 'Lytic Cycle', the process that some types of viruses follow in reproduction, is given in the related questions below for more detail of the process of reproduction of some viruses inside body cells.
What is the new strain of bacteria produced biotech in alcoholic industry?
escherichia coli
Viruses are living organisms?
viruses are not living organisms. They simply attach to a cell and when the cell reproduduces the virus is reproduced with the new cells.

What is one part of a research plan that must be followed when developing a new vaccine?
When developing a new vaccine the researchers will need to find out which receptors play a role in the spread of a virus or bacteria, and look at the molecular shape. Vaccines contain bacteria or viruses (microbes) either parts of wholes that have been killed or weakened so they don't causes diseases. These microbes work with the immune system to create antibodies against the bacteria or viruses. So if you are exposed say to Measles the body remembers these bacterias or viruses so the body is able to fight of the diseases quickly and you don't get sick.
