The enzymes produced by the phage gradually weaken the bacterial cell wall and eventually the bacterial cells lyse, releasing on average 100-200 phage progeny into the surrounding environment. Due to ...

Bacterial cells differ fundamentally in their structure from animal and human cells. For example, bacteria have a rigid cell wall, whereas human cells are surrounded only by a simple membrane.
