symbiont genome ejection through host cell envelope
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.
