A Genetic Switch in Bacteriophages within the Peduovirinae Subfamily : Structure, Function and Evolution

The temperate bacteriophages in the Peduovirinae subfamily can either grow lytically or integrate into their bacterial host and form lysogeny. Which one of the two life cycles the phage will enter after infection is controlled by a transcriptional switch. The switch also controls the induction of ge...
