Relating to or denoting the process by which a bacteriophage integrates its genetic material into the host bacterium's genome without causing immediate lysis.

  • 🇪🇸Relativo al proceso en el que un bacteriófago integra su material genético en el genoma de la bacteria huésped sin lisis inmediata.
  1. Relating to lysogeny C2 formal scientific

    Describing a type of viral life cycle where the viral genome integrates into the host cell's DNA and replicates without destroying the host cell.

    • The lysogenic cycle allows the virus to remain dormant within the bacterium.
    • Lysogenic conversion can give bacteria new traits, such as toxin production.
    • Temperate phages are known for their lysogenic replication strategy.

    🇪🇸Lisogénico

  2. Capable of lysis C2 formal scientific

    Describing a cell or system that can undergo lysis, or the breaking down of the cell membrane.

    • The lysogenic state can be induced, leading to cell lysis.
    • Certain bacteria are lysogenic and can release phages under stress.
    • The lysogenic properties of the sample were tested in the lab.

    🇪🇸lisogénico (capaz de lisis)

  • more lysogenic comparative form
  • most lysogenic superlative form
