part of viral process symbiont genome ejection through host cell envelope https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/26670 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. viral genome injection through bacterial membranes bf GO:0039678 biological_process 2013-09-26T11:56:48Z phage genome ejection VZ:986 viral genome ejection through host cell envelope symbiont entry into host cell
