  2. Lytic cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lytic_cycle

    The lytic cycle results in the destruction of the infected cell and its membrane. Bacteriophages that can only go through the lytic cycle are called virulent phages (in contrast to temperate phages). In the lytic cycle, the viral DNA exists as a separate free floating molecule within the bacterial cell, and replicates separately from the host ...

  3. Prophage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophage

    A prophage is a bacteriophage (often shortened to "phage") genome that is integrated into the circular bacterial chromosome or exists as an extrachromosomal plasmid within the bacterial cell. [1] Integration of prophages into the bacterial host is the characteristic step of the lysogenic cycle of temperate phages.

  4. Bacteriophage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteriophage

    At this point they initiate the reproductive cycle, resulting in lysis of the host cell. As the lysogenic cycle allows the host cell to continue to survive and reproduce, the virus is replicated in all offspring of the cell. An example of a bacteriophage known to follow the lysogenic cycle and the lytic cycle is the phage lambda of E. coli. [53]

  5. Viral replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_replication

    Viruses may undergo two types of life cycles: the lytic cycle and the lysogenic cycle. In the lytic cycle, the virus introduces its genome into a host cell and initiates replication by hijacking the host's cellular machinery to make new copies of the virus. [12] In the lysogenic life cycle, the viral genome is incorporated into the host genome.

  6. Phage typing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phage_typing

    Phage typing is based on the specific binding of phages to antigens and receptors on the surface of bacteria and the resulting bacterial lysis or lack thereof. [4] The binding process is known as adsorption. [5] Once a phage adsorbs to the surface of a bacteria, it may undergo either the lytic cycle or the lysogenic cycle. [6]

  7. Lysogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysogen

    The prophage expresses gene(s) that repress the phage's lytic action, until this repression is disrupted (see lytic cycle). Currently a variety of studies are being conducted to see whether other genes are active during lysogeny, examples of which include phage-encoded tRNA and virulence genes.

  8. Systems development life cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_development_life_cycle

    A systems development life cycle is composed of distinct work phases that are used by systems engineers and systems developers to deliver information systems.Like anything that is manufactured on an assembly line, an SDLC aims to produce high-quality systems that meet or exceed expectations, based on requirements, by delivering systems within scheduled time frames and cost estimates. [3]

  9. Corynebacteriophage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corynebacteriophage

    Life Cycles and Host Interaction. Corynephages exhibit two primary life cycles: lytic and lysogenic. In the lytic cycle, the phage attaches to the bacterial cell, injects its DNA, and uses the cell's machinery to replicate its genome and produce new virions. This process eventually leads to the lysis of the host cell and the release of new ...
