quantifying the contribution of viruses to the elemental cycle, and determining an effective method to distinguish soil viruses in the lytic versus lysogenic cycle. This highlights a new research ...

Simple cycle gas turbines provide efficiency levels of around 35% to 40%. Combined cycle units boost efficiency to 60% and beyond. But another option is emerging that combines the attributes of ...

In the alternative lysogenic cycle, phage DNA instead integrates into the host chromosome to form a ‘prophage’. Prophages are dormant until host DNA-repair processes trigger their excision to begin ...

They are a symbol of joy and happiness. But have you ever tried to delve into the life cycle of a butterfly to know how it grows up to look this fascinating. A butterfly comes across four stages ...

The lytic and lysogenic cycles are the two main phases of a virus’ infective lifecycle and route to replication. The lytic cycle, or virulent infection, involves a virus taking control of a host cell ...

Now that I’ve stopped popping a little pill every day, I’m learning that while I may have skipped some of the not-so-fun aspects of a regular cycle (cramps and bloating, anyone?), I also didn ...

What Is the Economic Cycle? Why Is It Important? Just like nature changes throughout the seasons, an economy experiences times of growth and contraction. These intervals are known as the economic ...

That term is “cycle-breaker.” A cycle-breaker is somebody who sees an unhealthy cycle of behavior in their family of origin (meaning the family they grew up in) and intentionally works to ...

The type of life cycle followed by phages in an environment is inferred based on the Virus-to-Microbe ratio (VMR), as VMR lower than one suggests the prevalence of the lysogenic cycle, while higher ...
