When a phage infects a bacterium it can either destroy its host or be incorporated in the host genome in a state of lysogeny. From Wordnet, Princeton University.
The problem of the prophage had been posed, and now the history of lysogeny began again. From Wordnik.com. [André Lwoff - Nobel Lecture] Reference
In 1949, the new school of American virologists, to which virology owes so much, condemned lysogeny. From Wordnik.com. [André Lwoff - Nobel Lecture] Reference
However, a few heretics survived - and among them Jacques Monod, who played a decisive role in my decision to return to the problem of lysogeny. From Wordnik.com. [André Lwoff - Nobel Lecture] Reference
Their investigation quickly surpasses the specific cases of the bacteriophage and of lysogeny and merged with the fundamental problems of molecular biology. From Wordnik.com. [André Lwoff - Nobel Lecture] Reference
Returning to Melbourne in 1927, he concentrated on bacteriophage studies, making seminal discoveries in lysogeny and bacterial genetics. 4 However, in January. From Wordnik.com. [The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute] Reference
Let us return to the past and attempt to determine how our knowledge and our ideas on viruses and lysogeny, as well as our concepts of the relations between cell and virus, have evolved. From Wordnik.com. [André Lwoff - Nobel Lecture] Reference
The studies on psittacosis brought home to Burnet the importance of latent infections in diseases of vertebrates as well as in bacteria, in which he had long before recognized the nature of lysogeny. From Wordnik.com. [The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute] Reference
For prokaryotes in the ocean, it has been suggested that in nutrient-rich waters (characterized by a high abundance of hosts) lytic phages dominate, whereas in nutrient-poor waters (characterized by a low abundance of hosts), lysogeny dominates. From Wordnik.com. [Marine viruses] Reference
In 1958 the remarkable analogy revealed by genetic analysis of lysogeny and that of the induced biosynthesis of ß-galactosidase led François Jacob, with Jacques Monod, to study the mechanisms responsible for the transfer of genetic information as well as the regulatory pathways which, in the bacterial cell, adjust the activity and synthesis of macromolecules. From Wordnik.com. [François Jacob - Biography] Reference
The decision of the genetic circuit that controls whether a virus initially chooses lysis or lysogeny is not random. From Wordnik.com. [innovations-report] Reference
To find out, the researchers modeled the complex gene regulatory dynamics of the lysis-lysogeny switch for lambda phage. From Wordnik.com. [innovations-report] Reference
In 1929 lysogeny underwent a revival. From Wordnik.com. [André Lwoff - Nobel Lecture] Reference
D'Hérelle at first denied the lysogeny. From Wordnik.com. [André Lwoff - Nobel Lecture] Reference
Salmonella Phage P22 lysogeny. From Wordnik.com. [Hamilton O. Smith - Autobiography] Reference
Transformed bacteria were collected in 1 ml SOB medium, 150 µl of the suspension were incubated overnight at 37°C on lysogeny broth / ampicillin agar plates inoculated with 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-β-D-galactosi de (X-Gal: 25 µl; 10\%) and isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG: 30 µl; 0.1 M) solved in dimethyl sulfoxide.
