phage genome integrates into the bacterial chromosome and becomes part of the host.

I left and went in the first bookshop to try to find out in a dictionary what induction and phage meant.

And the last month he told me- You know, we've found the phages induction.

André Lwoff gave the name "prophage" to the form in which the genome of the bacteriophage is perpetuated in lysogenic bacteria.

The bacterium comprises a modification of the Sfi21 prophage or the bacterial genome which disrupts expression of a gene which is essential to a bacteriophage, but not essential to the bacteria.

The prophage genome is replicated along with the bacterial genome when the bacteria divide and is passed along to each bacterial daughter cell.

In 1954 he began a long and fruitful collaboration with Elie Wollman, in an attempt to establish the nature of the relationships between the prophage and genetic material of the bacterium.

the lysogen cycle, in which the viral genome is incorporated into the bacterial genome (as a prophage) and where the latency genes are expressed.

When triggered by changing environmental conditions, the prophage DNA may become lytic and start replicating viral components within the host cell.

The phage DNA in this repressed state is called a prophage because it is not a phage but it has the potential to produce phage.

This includes integration of phage DNA into bacterial DNA; (LYSOGENY); to form a PROPHAGE or integration of retroviral DNA into cellular DNA to form a PROVIRUS.

lysogeny A condition in which a bacteriophage genome (pro-phage) survives within a host bacterium, either as part of the host chromosome or as part of an extrachromosomal element, and does not initiate lytic functions.

In technical terms: The phiBB-1 prophage is capable of transducing a cp32 (circular plasmid) between cells of the same isolate and between different Bb isolates (gene transfer between different Borrelia spirochetes).

But if a bacteriophage is temperate or lysogenic, though – a prophage – then it will deposit its genes into bacteria so that they mix with the bacteria’s own genes and divide with them each time the bacteria divides.
