  1. Lysogenic cycle - Wikipedia

    Lysogeny, or the lysogenic cycle, is one of two cycles of viral reproduction (the lytic cycle being the other). Lysogeny is characterized by integration of the bacteriophage nucleic acid into the host …

  2. Lysogenic Cycle - Definition, Steps, and Diagram

    Dec 7, 2023 · The lysogenic cycle or lysogeny is one of the two viral reproductive lifecycles (the other one is the lytic cycle) characterized by integrating the viral genome into the host bacterial …

  3. Lysogeny | Phage, Bacteriophage, Prophage | Britannica

    Lysogeny, type of life cycle that takes place when a bacteriophage infects certain types of bacteria. In this process, the genome (the collection of genes in the nucleic acid core of a virus) of the …

  4. What Is a Lysogenic Infection and How Does It Work?

    Nov 25, 2025 · Discover the process of lysogeny: how phages integrate their DNA into bacteria, remain dormant, and switch to the destructive lytic cycle.

  5. Lysogeny in nature: mechanisms, impact and ecology of temperate …

    Mar 14, 2017 · Here, we review lysogeny from molecular mechanisms to ecological patterns to emerging approaches of investigation. Our goal is to highlight both its diversity and importance in …

  6. Lysogeny - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

    In lysogeny, a virus accesses a host cell but instead of immediately beginning the replication process leading to lysis, enters into a stable state of existence with the host. Phages capable of lysogeny are …

  7. Lysogeny - Ask Microbiology

    Lysogeny is a stable association between a temperate bacteriophage and its bacterial host in which the phage genome integrates into the host chromosome or persists as a plasmid, forming a prophage.

  8. The landscape of lysogeny across microbial community density

    Here, we review the mechanisms regulating lysogeny in complex communities and show that the additive effects of coinfections, diversity and host energic status yield a bimodal distribution of …

  9. Lysogenic Cycle - Definition and Steps | Biology Dictionary

    Mar 29, 2019 · The lysogenic cycle is a method by which a virus can replicate its DNA using a host cell. Typically, viruses can undergo two types of DNA replication: the lysogenic cycle or the lytic cycle. In …

  10. Lysogeny: Process, Control and Significance - Biology Discussion

    Lysogeny is probably of major significance to temperate bacteriophages because most bacteria isolated from natural habitats are lysogenic for one or more bacteriophages.
