Temperate phages may choose to infect either through the lytic or the lysogenic cycles 1. Whereas the lytic cycle leads to lysis of the bacterial cell, in the lysogenic cycle the phage 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 ...
