phagocytosis
phagocytosis The process by which a
cell membrane can invaginate and enclose externally derived, solid material within a
vacuole, without disrupting the continuity of the cell surface. Subsequently this vacuole will fuse with a
lysosome and its contents will be wholly or partly digested. Although phagocytosis is a feature of animal cells, bacteria may be attacked by phagocytotic cells. The
capsule may afford them some protection against such an attack.
