  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. 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]

  4. 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]

  5. Phage typing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phage_typing

    Once a phage adsorbs to the surface of a bacteria, it may undergo either the lytic cycle or the lysogenic cycle. [6] Virulent phages enter the lytic cycle where they replicate and lyse the bacterial cell. [7] Virulent phages can differentiate between different species of bacteria based on their specific lytic action. [8] Lysis will only occur ...

  6. Temperateness (virology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperateness_(virology)

    Temperate phages can switch between a lytic and lysogenic life cycle. Lytic is more drastic, killing the host whereas lysogenic impacts host cells genetically or physiologically. [4] [5] [6] Here is a chart on temperate phages that are lytic and lysogenic and how they're related. Lysogeny is characterized by the integration of the phage genome ...

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. Transduction (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transduction_(genetics)

    Transduction happens through either the lytic cycle or the lysogenic cycle. When bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) that are lytic infect bacterial cells, they harness the replicational, transcriptional, and translation machinery of the host bacterial cell to make new viral particles . The new phage particles are then released by ...
