Description
T4 bacteriophage viruses. At lower right, a phage virus lands on a bacterial surface and injects its DNA into the interior of the bacterium. The term "phage" referes to the fact that they "eat" the bacteria. T4 is the most complicated virus. It has a highly developed landing gear that docks with the bacterial surface and triggers the DNA injection through the contractile tail. This image has the phages brilliantly coloured against a black background, emphasising their insectile appearance.
