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 ...

Bacteriophage (phage) are viruses that specifically infect bacteria. They have a two-phase lifecycle, residing in a dormant state within the host genome (lysogenic cycle) or hijacking the host ...

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 ...

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 ...
