cell lysis
Cell wall breakdown
Cell lysis is the rupture or destruction of a cell's membrane, causing its contents to spill out.
The process can occur naturally—as when viruses burst from infected cells—or be induced deliberately in laboratories to extract proteins, DNA, or other cellular components: We performed cell lysis to isolate the enzyme.
- ruptureViolent tearing apart
