What Viruses Use The Lysogenic Cycle?

What Viruses Use The Lysogenic Cycle? Bacteriophages are viruses that infect and replicate within a bacterium. Temperate phages (such as lambda phage) can reproduce using both the lytic and the lysogenic cycle. Via the lysogenic cycle, the bacteriophage’s genome is not expressed and is instead integrated into the bacteria’s genome to form the prophage. What
