Inference of the Life Cycle of Environmental Phages from Genomic Signature Distances to Their Hosts [PDF]
Viruses, 2023 The environmental impact of uncultured phages is shaped by their preferred life cycle (lytic or lysogenic). However, our ability to predict it is very limited.

Modulation of Lactobacillus casei bacteriophage A2 lytic/lysogenic cycles by binding of Gp25 to the early lytic mRNA [PDF]
Molecular Microbiology, 2015 SummaryThe genetic switch of Lactobacillus casei bacteriophage A2 is regulated by the CI protein, which represses the early lytic promoter PR and Cro that abolishes expression from the lysogenic promoter PL. Lysogens contain equivalent cI and cro‐gp25 mRNA concentrations, i.e., CI only partially represses PR, predicting a lytic cycle dominance. However,

Viruses, 2022 Phages are viruses that infect bacteria. They affect various microbe-mediated processes that drive biogeochemical cycling on a global scale. Their influence depends on whether the infection is lysogenic or lytic.

Characterization of a New Temperate Escherichia coli Phage vB_EcoP_ZX5 and Its Regulatory Protein
Pathogens, 2022 The study of the interaction between temperate phages and bacteria is vital to understand their role in the development of human diseases. In this study, a novel temperate Escherichia coli phage, vB_EcoP_ZX5, with a genome size of 39,565 bp, was isolated

A Model for Lysogenic and Lytic Cycle For Bacteria-Bacteriophage Interaction [PDF]
, 2023 Bacteriophage is a kind of virus that infects the bacteria by often following two life cycles. The one which is very common is the lytic path cycle and the other less common is the lysogenic cycle. In this article, a mathematical model consisting of two path cycles for bacteria-bacteriophage interaction has been proposed and studied.

Induction of temperate cyanophage AS-1 by heavy metal – copper
BMC Microbiology, 2006 Background It has been reported that some marine cyanophage are temperate and can be induced from a lysogenic phase to a lytic phase by different agents such as heavy metals. However, to date no significant reports have focused on the temperate nature of

Characteristics of a pseudolysogenic phage vB_YpM_HQ103 infecting Yersinia pestis
Virus ResearchThe plague, caused by Yersinia pestis, is a natural focal disease and the presence of Y. pestis in the environment is a critical ecological concern worldwide. The role of Y. pestis phages in the ecological life cycle of the plague is crucial. Previously,

BACPHLIP: predicting bacteriophage lifestyle from conserved protein domains [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Bacteriophages are broadly classified into two distinct lifestyles: temperate and virulent. Temperate phages are capable of a latent phase of infection within a host cell (lysogenic cycle), whereas virulent phages directly replicate and lyse host cells ...
