PHAGES. “Like all viruses, phages are metabolically inert in their extracellular form (the “virion”), and they reproduce by insinuating themselves into the metabolism of the host. The mechanisms by which phage virions infect their host cells…vary among the different types of phages, but they all result in delivery of the phage genome into the cytoplasm of the bacterial host, where it interacts with the cellular machinery to carry the phage life cycle forward.”
