Infection Cycles of Lytic, Single-Stranded and Temperate Bacteriophages

In this article we will discuss about the infection cycles of lytic, single-stranded and temperate bacteriophages. Infection Cycle of Lytic Bacteriophages: The lytic cycle of these bacteriophages can be divided into several stages, like attachment and adsorption, penetration, intercellular changes resulting in the synthesis of viral components, assembly of progeny virions and release from the infected cell. These steps are [...]
