A bacteriophage ( virus that infect bacteria) can multiply in a cell by two ways:lytic and lysogenic cycle.

  • In lytic cycle, the phage DNA enters the cell, replicate and assembled within the cell and released outside by rupturing the host. It continues to invade the other bacteria.
  • In case of lysogenic cycle the phage DNA once it enter the host cell gets integrated into the host genome and multiply along with host DNA. It remains latent. Upon proper induction, it undergoes lytic cycle again.
  • The viruses that multiply by integrating into the host genome are widely used in gene therapy.
