In the lysogeny the bacteriophage can become more widespread in the environment especially if the host is motile and may allow replication to take place at a more opportune time if bacterial resources are low at the time of infection. If it enters lysogeny then it can exclude other phages making the resources of bacteria to itself and it can acquire new genetic material by virtue of its incorporation into bacterial genome.
Are there any apparent advantages for a bacteriophage to enter lysogeny?
Viruses- Bacteriology -Describe the characteristics of viruses. -Explain receptors for bacterial viruses (bacteriophage). -How do bacteria prevent the invasion of foreign nucleic acids? -What is reverse transcriptase and which viruses use it? -What type of nucleic acids is in many important human disease-causing viruses? -List the possible consequences of viral infection of an animal cell? -Differentiate between animal and bacterial viruses. -Describe both lytic and lysogenic cycles. -Explain the potential advantages of lysogeny versus lysis for a temperate virus
Name 4 genes whose protein product play a role in the lifestyles of bacteriophage lambda (lysis or lysogeny) and briefly (no more than 2 lines per gene) describe their function
ΦC31 is a type of bacteriophage that infects Streptomyces bacteria. One gene in the bacteriophage genome specifies a recombinase called ΦC31 integrase that works through a mechanism slightly different from that of the recombinase shown in Fig. 6.30. Most importantly, the two target DNA sequences are different from each other. One called attP is 39 base pairs and is found on the circular bacteriophage chromosome, while the other—attB—is 34 base pairs long and is located on the much larger circular...
Exp. 12: Spectroscopy (a) Describe how you can identify the light sources used in this lab by their apparent color (as seen with the naked eye). (b) What are the advantages of using a spectrometer for light source identification over identifying by apparent color?
distinguish between the lytic, lysogenic and slow-release viral cycles. What are the relative advantages and disadvantages of the slow-release strategy, comparee with the strategy of a temperate phage, which alternates between lysis and lysogeny?
Discuss any apparent trend and seasonal pattern based on the case study and graph?
The bacteriophage used in this experiment reproduces by the
lytic cycle. Suppose a similar experiment were conducted with a
bacteriophage that uses the lysogenic cycle. How would the effect
on the infected bacteria MOST likely differ?
A. The bacteriophage would attach to the bacteria and reproduce
in the extracellular space.
B. The bacteriophage would become permanently dormant and
unresponsive to environmental cues for reproduction.
C. The bacteriophage would attach its genes to the bacteria’s
DNA, allowing its genes to be...
