GO:0099002: viral genome ejection through host cell envelope, short tail mechanism (Biological process)

"Ejection by a non-enveloped prokaryotic virus of its genome into the host cytoplasm via a short tail ejection system consisting a central tube, the connector which attaches the tail to the phage capsid and releases inner core proteins. Upon binding to the host cell surface, the phage displays a tube-like extension of its short tail that penetrates both host membranes. This tail extension comes from the release of viral core proteins with channel forming properties." [GOC:dos, PMID:22297513, VZ:3954]
