Replication of Virus: Lytic and Lysogenic Cycle

In this article we will discuss about the replication of virus by lytic and lysogenic cycle. Replication of Virus by Lytic Cycle: This type of cycle is seen in T-even phages (T2, T4 etc.) which attack Escherichia coli. The lytic cycle consists of five steps (Fig. 2.45): (a) Adsorption, (b) InfecĀ­tion (Fig. 2.44), (c) Synthesis of phage comĀ­ponents in host [...]
