Low Host Abundance and High Temperature Determine Switching from Lytic to Lysogenic Cycles in Planktonic Microbial Communities in a Tropical Sea (Red Sea) [PDF]
Viruses, 2020 The lytic and lysogenic life cycles of marine phages are influenced by environmental conditions such as solar radiation, temperature, and host abundance. Temperature can regulate phage infection, but its role is difficult to discern in oligotrophic waters where there is typically low host abundance and high temperatures.

Regional Variation in Lytic and Lysogenic Viral Infection in the Southern Ocean and Its Contribution to Biogeochemical Cycling [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2012 ABSTRACT Lytic and lysogenic viral infection was investigated throughout the Southern Ocean at sites spanning the sub-Antarctic zone, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, and an Antarctic continental sea. Higher lytic virus activity was recorded in the more productive sub-Antarctic zone than in the iron-limited waters of the ...

Inference of the Life Cycle of Environmental Phages from Genomic Signature Distances to Their Hosts
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.

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.

Bacteriophages in activated sludge bioreactor-role of lytic and lysogenic phage cycles
, 2012 Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria and are known to be a very important component of microbial ecology in aquatic environments. Bacteria are involved in removing organics, ammonia and phosphorus in activated sludge processes. Frequent upsets, however, were found in the activated sludge process such as nitrification failure and filamentous ...

Uneven host cell growth causes lysogenic virus induction in the Baltic Sea.
PLoS ONE, 2019 In the Baltic Sea redoxcline, lysogenic viruses infecting prokaryotes have rarely been detected using the commonly used inducing agent mitomycin C. However, it is well known that not all viruses are induceable by mitomycin C and growing evidence suggests

Scientific Reports, 2021 We apply mathematical modelling to explore bacteria-phage interaction mediated by condition-dependent lysogeny, where the type of the phage infection cycle (lytic or lysogenic) is determined by the ambient temperature. In a natural environment, daily and

PLoS BiologyAdvances in metagenomics have led to the identification of new intestinal temperate bacteriophages. However, their experimental characterization remains challenging due to a limited understanding of their lysogenic-lytic cycle and the common lack of ...

Bacteriophages as Biotechnological Tools
Viruses, 2023 Bacteriophages are ubiquitous organisms that can be specific to one or multiple strains of hosts, in addition to being the most abundant entities on the planet. It is estimated that they exceed ten times the total number of bacteria.
