Lysogenic (Adjective)

Capable of producing or undergoing lysis.

Relational adjectives (pertainyms).

The bacteriophage was in a lysogenic state, meaning it had integrated its DNA into the host cell's genome and was not actively replicating.
Lysogenic bacteria can remain dormant for extended periods, only producing phage particles when the host cell is stressed or damaged.
The virus was lysogenic, allowing it to persist in the host cell without causing immediate lysis.
In a lysogenic infection, the phage genome is replicated along with the host cell's DNA, allowing the phage to remain dormant until conditions are favorable for lysis.
The lysogenic cycle of the phage allowed it to coexist with the host cell, only switching to a lytic cycle when the host cell was weakened.

Of or relating to lysogeny.

Relational adjectives (pertainyms).

The bacteriophage was in a lysogenic state, meaning it had integrated its genome into the host cell's DNA without immediately replicating.
Lysogenic conversion is a process by which a bacteriophage genome alters the host cell's behavior, often making it more virulent.
The scientist studied the lysogenic cycle of the virus, observing how it interacted with the host cell over time.
In a lysogenic relationship, the phage genome is replicated along with the host cell's DNA, allowing it to persist indefinitely.
The discovery of lysogenic phages has led to a greater understanding of the complex interactions between viruses and their hosts.
