And that's exactly why this is known as the Litig cycle. Now, once our cell license, it releases all these new viruses and these viruses that are found outside the whole cell are known as virants. Now, another method by which our cell can basically release the viruses onto the outside of the cell is by undergoing a type of process that looks like exocytosis, basically using the cell membrane to take our viruses and bring them outside of that cell. Now, the period between when our virus actually infects the cell and right before the cell lysis is known as the latent period. And this diagram basically describes the process by which the bacteria phase undergoes our Litig cycle. So in step one, our bacteria or our virus approaches the cell membrane of our bacterial cell.
