The lytic and lysogenic cycles are the two main phases of a virus’ infective lifecycle and route to replication. The lytic cycle, or virulent infection, involves a virus taking control of a host cell ...

Entry into the lytic or the lysogenic cycle is controlled by the lysis-lysogeny transcriptional switch. This switch activates the prophage, resulting in viral replication, host cell lysis ...

Phages can undergo two types of replication: lytic or lysogenic replication. Within a lysogenic cycle, the nucleic acid of the bacteriophage is integrated into the host’s genome, but the ...

Lysogenic cycle/infection: Non-bactericidal phage infection with phage genome replication but no virion production. Induction: Virus infection changes from a lysogenic cycle to a productive cycle.

Mechanistically, bacteriophage binds to a specific host, infects, and subsequently follows either one of the two replication processes, namely, lytic or lysogenic cycle. 9 During the lytic ...
