Revisiting the rules of life for viruses of microorganisms
Viruses that infect microbial hosts have traditionally been studied in laboratory settings with
a focus on either obligate lysis or persistent lysogeny. In the environment, these infection …

Regulation of prophage induction and lysogenization by phage communication systems
Many viruses cause both lytic infections, where they release viral particles, and dormant
infections, where they await future opportunities to reactivate. 1 The benefits of each …

Alternating lysis and lysogeny is a winning strategy in bacteriophages due to Parrondo's paradox
Temperate bacteriophages lyse or lysogenize host cells depending on various parameters

When to be temperate: on the fitness benefits of lysis vs. lysogeny
Bacterial viruses, that is 'bacteriophage'or 'phage', can infect and lyse their bacterial hosts,
releasing new viral progeny. In addition to the lytic pathway, certain bacteriophage (ie …
