Lytic Cycle

Question 1: What is a lytic cycle?

Answer: 

When the infection has tainted the cell and reproduces the infection particles and blasts through the cell film.

Question 2: What is meant by Attachment?

Answer: 

Attachment sites on the bacteriophage adsorb to receptor sites on the host bacterium. Most bacteriophages adsorb to the bacterial cell wall, although some are able to adsorb to flagella or pili. Specific strains of bacteriophage can only adsorb to a specific strain of host bacteria. This is known as viral specificity.

Question 3: Who discovered the bacteriophage?

Answer: 

Bacteriophage was discovered by Frederick w. Twort in Great Britain(1915) and Felix d herelle in France (1917).

Question 4: What are the two life cycles of bacteriophage?

Answer: 

There is two life cycle lytic and Lysogenic cycle. Approx all bacteriophages choose either the first or second life cycle.

Question 5: What are the other life cycles except for the lytic and Lysogenic life cycles?

Answer: 

Pseudolysogeny and chronic infection are other life cycles.

The lytic cycle is named for the course of lysis, which happens when an infection has tainted a cell, reproduced new infection particles, and blasted through the cell film. This delivers the new virions, or infection edifices, so they can contaminate more cells.

Examples

• T4 Bacteriophage
• Ebola virus
• Sars-Cov-2,etc.
