The lytic and lysogenic cycles are the two main phases of a virus’ infective lifecycle and route to replication. The lytic cycle, or virulent infection, involves a virus taking control of a host cell ...

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 ...

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 ...

‘Charlie Kirk is dead’: Prominent MAGA activist assassinated in university shooting 'Not acceptable conduct between partners' Israel says as EU announces halt to 'all payments' Pilot captures animal's ...

Illustration of the competition explored in the paper, between phages with a fixed branching ratio between lysogeny and lysis (green) and phages who adjust this ratio based on environmental ...

A newly revealed mechanism of horizontal gene transfer improves understanding of how antibiotic resistance is transferred between bacteria. The increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance (AR) is a ...
