Under certain conditions lysogenic phages can be induced to follow a lytic cycle. |
|
Cells infected with temperate viruses are called lysogenic because the cells tend to be broken down when they encounter some chemical or physical factor, such as ultraviolet light. |
|
This means of transferring genetic information, called lysogenic conversion, imparts genes with special functions to bacterial cells without such functions. |
|
Isolation of Shigella sonnei lysogenic for a bacteriophage encoding gene for production of Shiga toxin. |
|
A repressor protein of bacteriophage P1, encoded by the c1 gene, is responsible for maintaining P1 prophage in the lysogenic state. |
|
More strikingly, the exotoxins produced by many pathogenic bacteria are encoded in the genome of lysogenic phages. |
|
Lysogenic phages incorporate their nucleic acid into the chromosome of the host cell and replicate with it as a unit without destroying the cell. |
