What Viruses Use The Lysogenic Cycle?

by

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

Does Lysogenic Cycle Have To Go Through The Lytic Cycle?

Does Lysogenic Cycle Have To Go Through The Lytic Cycle? Lysogens can remain in the lysogenic cycle for many generations but can switch to the lytic cycle at any time via a process known as induction. During induction, prophage DNA is excised from the bacterial genome and is transcribed and translated to make coat proteins
