Comma Rule

E.g. Viruses are consisted of a nucleic acid enclosed in a protein coat and, in some cases, a membranous envelope.

Do I need a comma before "in some cases"? If yes, why?

Thanks in advance.

Not absolutely necessary, but it makes the sentence more clear. 'Are consisted' is wrong.

What is the comma rule/explaination for needing a comma there?

When would I not need a comma there? When the following information is absolutely essential?
