The Life Cycle Transitions of Temperate Phages: Regulating Factors and Potential Ecological Implications

Phages are viruses that infect bacteria. They affect various microbe-mediated processes that drive biogeochemical cycling on a global scale. Their influence depends on whether the infection is lysogenic or lytic. Temperate phages have the potential to execute both infection types and thus frequently...
