Bacteriophage (Hybrid Medical Animation)

T4 bacteriophages targeting E. coli bacteria.
Bacteriophages are small viruses that infect bacteria and kill them by multiplying and essentially filling the bacterial cell to bursting.

LOOK OUT

Too bad there isn't (or is there?) something smaller than a virus that destroys viruses. Viruses are jerks.

I think of bacteria as friendly, social creatures.

Fungi: TOO social.

Enough anthropomorphisizing things that need to be killed.

The irony of bacteria getting their comeuppance from something even smaller: the virus.

@jakubgt1 Yeah, I was speaking of virus in general at that point.

@NorthForkFisherman

If I'm not mistaken all bacteriaphages have a complex shaped capsid. I'm quite sure the other comment was referring to bacterial viruses and not animal viruses. But it is true, any virus that leaves the host cell via extrusion will leave with a part of the host.

@NorthForkFisherman ok, thanks!

@smaug131 There's a lot of online resources that are available if you want to learn more about this subject. Lewis' "Molecular Biology Made Simple and Fun" is a good start too.
