  Double Whammy: Lysogenic Conversion
These findings were confirmed when they found that excision of the phage DNA by artificial or natural means restored the bacterium to its former innocuous state.
The process by which a virus induces change in the characteristics of a bacterial host was named lysogenic conversion.
Lysogenic conversion is involved in scarlet fever, and in some botulinum and staphylococcal toxins responsible for food poisoning.

  Lwoff's Pathways - Viral Replication   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The lysogenic pathway was discovered in bacterial viruses (bacteriophages) in the early 1920s, but was not really understood until the 1950s, when it was explored at the cellular level by Andre' Lwoff, a French scientist.
Later, Lwoff found that it was possible to artificially induce all the cells in a lysogenic culture to enter the lytic pathway simultaneously by exposing the cultures to UV light, or X-rays.
The lysogenic path is one of several temperate pathways in which the host cell is not killed outright, but is occupied by the virus and used as a factory for replicating the viral genes.

 Bacteriophage Lecture Notes
The cell harboring a prophage is not adversely affected by the presence of the prophage and the lysogenic state may persist indefinitely.
The decision for lambda to enter the lytic or lysogenic cycle when it first enters a cell is determined by the concentration of the repressor and another phage protein called cro in the cell.
Lysogenic phages have been shown to carry genes that can modify the Salmonella O antigen, which is one of the major antigens to which the immune response is directed.

 Phage
Usually it is difficult to recognize lysogenic bacteria because lysogenic and nonlysogenic cells appear identical.
Lysogenic conversion has some interesting manifestations in pathogenic bacteria that only exert certain determinants of virulence when they are in a lysogenized state.
Only lysogenic streptococci produce the erythrogenic toxin (pyogenic exotoxin) which causes the skin rash of scarlet fever; and some botulinum toxins are synthsized only by lysogenic strains of C.

 Marine Microbiology Group - Viromics
With the support of an NSF Biocomplexity award, we are investigating the interaction of viral genomes with their environments by sequencing several temperate/pseudotemperate marine phage genomes.
The occurrence of lysogeny in the marine environment is complex, as indicated by the seasonal distribution of lysogens we have observed in estuarine environments.
We hypothesize that the lytic-lysogenic shift is the result of viral genes responding to environmental cues, neither of which are known at this time.

The potential effect that induction of lysogenic bacteria has on bacteriophage production and bacterial mortality in coastal waters was investigated, and we present estimates for the percentage of lysogenic cells in a natural aquatic bacterial community.
Using a steady-state model, if all lysogenic bacteria were induced simultaneously, 0.14 to 8.8% (average: 3.0%) of the total bacterial mortality would result from induction of lysogenic cells.
If mitomycin C induces all or the majority of lysogenized cells, our results imply that lysogenic phage production is generally not an important source of phage production or bacterial mortality in the coastal waters of the western Gulf of Mexico.

 Bacteriophage Life Cycles: The Lysogenic Life Cycle
Bacteriophages capable of a lysogenic life cycle (def) are termed temperate phages (def).
In the latter case, the cycle begins by the phage adsorbing to the host bacterium or lysogen (def) and injecting its genome as in the lytic life cycle (see Fig.

 Andre Michael Lwoff Summary
He believed that the increase of phages in a lysogenic bacterial culture was due to a few susceptible, or phage-sensitive, bacteria.
He placed one lysogenic bacterium in culture and watched it divide through nineteen generations of "daughter cells." Each generation was lysogenic.
His studies of lysogenic bacteria, viruses, and his demonstration of the induction of the prophage provided the foundations for experiments in molecular biology.

 Viruses
When viral DNA is in the lysogenic mode it is called a prophage.
Lysogenic Conversion is the display of new properties by bacterial cells containing temperate viruses; toxins are only produced by many disease-causing bacteria when infected with a phage.

 Bacteriophage Summary
Bacteriophages may have a lytic cycle or a lysogenic cycle, however a few viruses are capable of carrying out both.
In contrast, the lysogenic cycle does not result in immediate lysing of the host cell, those phages able to undergo lysogeny are known as temperate phages.
Interestingly, as the lysogenic cycle allows the host cell to continue to survive and reproduce the virus is reproduced in all of the cell’s offspring.

It is known that the 'lysis-versus-lysogenisation' decision depends on the physiology of the host and that starvation and low temperature favour lysogenisation rather than lytic development [1,2,3].

After assembly, new viral offspring particles are released when the host cell disintegrates, or "lyses." In the lysogenic cycle, viral genomes remain dormant for long periods of time inside the host cell.
On occasion, a switch from a lysogenic to a lytic cycle is triggered.
The study of temperate phages, and the process whereby the lysogenic or lytic pathway is activated, has led to fundamental discoveries in mechanisms that control the regulation of gene expression.

Survivors on this ampicillin plate were lysogenic for MUD1, since the MUD1’s bla genes were assuredly inserted into the host’s genome.
The survivors on these plates were also infected with the lysogenic phage, because MUD1 inserted its genes into the Arabinose operon, enabling the Arabinose sensitive mutants to become Arabinose resistant.

 Information about Bacteriophages
In general, there are two major types of phages, lytic and lysogenic.
Lysogenic phages, on the other hand, integrate their DNA into the host DNA creating a prophage.
Prophage can escape from the original host (by cutting not only its DNA back, but possibly some genes of the host bacterium as well) and can integrate into a different one (the process is called transduction).

 Biology 572: Temperate bacteriophage methods
As we learned in the previous lecture, the nature of immunity was discovered through the isolation of "clear mutants" of lambda that were unable to enter a lysogenic state.
We may therefore grow a lambda phage carrying cI857 as a lysogen at low temperature, then induce lytic growth by simply moving it to a warmer incubator.
The trick for screening is to plate the infected cells at 32 degrees centigrade and allow them to propagate as lysogens for a few hours.
