- zahlman 1y agoAren't bacteria generally much larger than viruses?
- karolinepauls 1y agoPhages don't devour bacteria, they get inside and hijack them, like viruses tend to do with cells.
- zahlman 1y agoSeems strange to call them that, then; but such is English I suppose.
- melagonster 1y agoSometimes when phages get enough copies inside bacteria. The host will explode and release all phages inside it.
