symbiont genome ejection through host cell envelope

Term ID

GO:0039678

Synonyms

phage genome ejection
viral genome ejection through host cell envelope
viral genome injection through bacterial membranes

Definition

Entry of a symbiont's genome into the host cell through the host cell envelope. Occurs in non-enveloped prokaryotic viruses. Caudovirales carry an ejection apparatus that can be long and contractile, long and noncontractile, or short, and is able to penetrate the host cell envelope to deliver the viral genome into the host cell cytoplasm.
