  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. 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 ...

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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 ...

  8. Pseudomonas virus phi6 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudomonas_virus_phi6

    The lytic protein, P5, is contained between the P8 nucleocapsid shell and the viral envelope. The completed phage progeny remain in the cytosol until sufficient levels of the lytic protein P5 degrade the host cell wall. The cytosol then bursts forth, disrupting the outer membrane, releasing the phage. The bacterium is killed by this lysis.

  9. 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.
