Illustration of bacteriophages infecting a rod-shaped bacterium. Several green viruses attach to the bacterial surface and inject their genetic material into the cell. As one of the first proteins expressed, the active glowing T7 kinase leads to phosphorylation of glowing green host proteins against a background of blue cellular components, highlighting the spread of infection at the microscopic level.
