Defective Bacteriophages: The Phage Tail-like Particles

  • Chapter
Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology

Part of the book series: Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology ((PMSB,volume 4))

Abstract

A bacterium is called lysogenic if it has the latent potential to produce bacteriophage, i.e. if it harbors and reproduces the genome of the phage (“prophage”) along with that of the bacterium. Lysogeny is detected by the fact that this potential is occasionally expressed, so that any culture produced by growing the progeny of a single lysogenic cell will contain some phage (CAMPBELL, 1968).
