Examples of temperate bacteriophage in the following topics:

  • Mu: A Double-Stranded Transposable DNA Bacteriophage

    • Bacteriophage Mu is a temperate bacteriophage that uses DNA-based transposition in its lysogenic cycle.
    • Bacteriophage Mu, or phage Mu, is a temperate bacteriophage, a type of virus that infects bacteria.
    • All of the known temperate phages employ one of only three different systems for their lysogenic cycle: lambda-like integration/excision, Mu-like transposition, or the plasmid-like partitioning of phage N15.
    • Mu bacteriophage uses DNA-based transposition to integrate its genome into the genome of the host cell that it is infecting.

  • The Lytic and Lysogenic Cycles of Bacteriophages

    • Bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, may undergo a lytic or lysogenic cycle.
    • Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria .

    • Enterobacteria phage λ (lambda phage, coliphage λ) is a bacterial virus, or bacteriophage, that infects the bacterial species Escherichia coli.
    • This virus is temperate and may reside within the genome of its host through lysogeny.
    • The excised DNA is then packaged into a new virus particle, which delivers the DNA to a new bacterium where the donor genes can be inserted into the recipient chromosome or remain in the cytoplasm, depending on the nature of the bacteriophage.
  • Overview of Bacterial Viruses

    • Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria and are among the most common and diverse entities in the biosphere.
    • Bacteriophages (phages) are potentially the most numerous "organisms" on Earth.
    • Bacteriophages occur in over 140 bacterial or archaeal genera.
    • Over 5100 bacteriophages have been examined in the electron microscope since 1959.

  • Single-Stranded DNA Bacteriophages

    • The Inoviridae are a family of filamentous bacteriophages.
    • The Microviridae are a family of bacteriophages with a single-stranded DNA genome.
    • Although the majority of species in this family have lytic life cycles, a few may have temperate life cycles.
  • Batch Culture of Bacteriophages

    • Bacteriophage cultures require host cells in which the virus or phage multiply.
    • For bacteriophages, cultures are grown by infecting bacterial cells .
    • A bacteriophage is any one of a number of viruses that infect bacteria .
    • This specificity means a bacteriophage can infect only those bacteria bearing receptors to which they can bind, which in turn determines the phage's host range.
    • For bacteriophages, cultures are grown by infecting bacterial cells.
