Lysogenic Cycle Steps

Once the viral DNA has been inserted into the cell the host is now said to be infected.

Lysogenic cycle steps. In the lytic cycle the genome remains in the cytoplasm. The bacteriophage attaches and releases its DNA shown in red into the prokaryotic cell. Lysogenic cycle is characterized by 1 integration of the bacteriophage nucleic acid into host bacterial genome by site specific recommendation and replication with bacterial genome eg.

Similar to the lytic cycle it begins with the attachment and penetration of the virus. In prokaryotes this cycle is characterized by integration of the bacteriophage nucleic acid into the genome of the host bacterium. A prime example of a phage with this type of life cycle is the lambda phage.

Bacteriophage phage are viruses that specifically infect bacteria. While the Lytic cycle is common to both animal viruses and bacterial phages the lysogenic cycle is more commonly found in animal virusesThe following are the steps of the lysogenic cycle1 Viral genome enters cell2 Viral genome integrates into Host cell genome3 Host cell DNA Polymerase copies viral chromosomes4 cell divides and virus chromosomes are transmitted to cells daughter cells5 At any moment when the virus is triggered the viral genome detaches from the Host cells DNA. The lytic cycle occurs through the following steps.

Attachment In this stage the virus or a part of the virus attaches itself to the host cell. The prokaryotic cell is shown with its DNA in green. The lysogenic cycle is one of the two methods of viral reproduction the lytic cycle is the other one.

In the lysogenic cycle the phage genome enters the host cell through attachment and penetration. From there it takes control of the cells machinery and begins producing viruses. The capsid or protein coat around the viral genome consists of very specific proteins.

Adsorption is the process through which a bacteria gets its DNA or RNA into the host cell. During the lysogenic cycle instead of killing the host the phage genome integrates into the bacterial chromosome and becomes part of the host.
