What are the phages called that are capable of using both modes of reproduction?
Phages that are capable of using both the lytic and lysogenic modes of reproduction are called temperate phages. In the lysogenic mode, temperate phages integrate their DNA into the host genome, while in the lytic mode, they replicate and cause cell lysis.
Phages or virus that go through the lysogenic virus cycle are callled what?
Perhaps the imminent death of the host cell could trigger the lysis, or just any change in conditions that would be programed into the virus DNA that would trigger the exit from the host.
What is a harmless bacteriophage?
First I'll answer what a bacteriophage is. A bacteriophage is a type of virus that infects a bacterium. These phages can be either virulent or temperate. Virulent phages are capable of infecting and even killing the bacterium it has infected. Temperate phages usually do not cause harm. Its DNA is incorporated into the bacterium's DNA creating what is called a prophage. I don't really know what you are looking for when it comes to "harmless". A harmless phage is one that either only infects a specific bacteria and not the cells of say a human. This is called phage therapy. It is used for bacterial infections in human. The phages kill the bacteria but doesn't infect the human cells. It used to be big in the former Soviet Union but has kind of fell off. I do believe that it is starting to pick up momentum again however. The second thing i guess a harmless phage would mean is the temperate phage that does not harm the bacteria it has infected. If this is what you are looking for, google temperate phage or prophage. You should be able to find the info you need/.
What is the difference between a virulent phage and a temperate phage?
In virology, temperate refers to the life cycle some phages are able to perform. Atemperate phage can integrate its genome into its host bacterium's chromosome, becoming a lysogen known as a prophage. A temperate phage is also able to undergo lytic life cycles, where the prophage is expressed, replicates the phage genome and produces phage progeny and the progeny phage leave the bacterium. The virulent phages have only lytic lifecycles and thus infection results in the host cell's death (due to lytic cell destruction-the phage replicates itself and then bursts the cell, releasing many copies).

What do you call a bacteriophage when it is in a lysogenic cycle?
Phages that replicate only via the lytic cycle are known as virulent phages while phages that replicate using both lytic and lysogenic cycles are known as temperate phages.
Do temperate phage form bacteriophage plaques?
Yes, temperate phages can form bacteriophage plaques when they infect bacterial cells. Temperate phages have the ability to integrate into the bacterial host genome as a prophage and can undergo a lysogenic cycle where they replicate alongside the host cell without causing immediate lysis. If conditions change, they can enter a lytic cycle and form plaques by causing host cell lysis.
What is a virulent phages?
phages of virulent.

When was Phages - EP - created?
Phages - EP - was created in 2006.
Can two phages infect bacteria at a time?
It can be.in this way we can obtain new phages thah share genes of bpth phages.

How virtulent phages can multiply?
Virulent (virtulent) phages multiply by first attaching itself to a host cell and then absorbing it. Next, it injects its own DNA and the host eventually bursts and more phages present.
