T7 Bacteriophage - Enterobacteria phage T7
Like other viruses, the T7 bacteriophage does not produce its own energy. Instead, it infiltrates a bacterium via a membrane protein, and alters the genome in the nuclear envelope. By doing this, the T7 bacteriophage interferes with the protein synthesis and metabolic pathways of the bacteria into producing viral proteins and packaging them with the viruses genome.
