Double Lysogeny

Description:

Double lysogeny refers to a phenomenon in virology where a host cell is simultaneously infected by two different temperate bacteriophages, resulting in the integration of both phages into the host's genome. This unique process profoundly influences the bacterium's characteristics and potential viral reactivity.

Example sentences:

• The study observed that double lysogeny accelerated the evolution of the bacterial host.
• Double lysogeny can lead to the expression of novel traits in the infected bacterial population.
• Researchers have identified specific mechanisms involved in the regulation of double lysogeny.
