Bacteriophages are a type of virus which infect bacterial cells and are abundant in nature. Temperate bacteriophages display a lysogenic life cycle, which requires them to integrate their viral genome ...

Bacteriophages are a special type of virus that infect bacteria and have amazing structural and functional diversity. When a bacteriophage infects a bacterium, it can hijack the molecular machinery of ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 58, No. 2 (2013), pp. 465-474 (10 pages) Experiments were conducted to investigate spatiotemporal patterns in lytic and lysogenic viral infection using water samples ...

Phages exhibit two distinct life cycles in bacteria, a lytic cycle and a lysogenic cycle. During the lytic cycle, phages replicate and progeny particles are released through lysis. By contrast, during ...
