Short example sentences

The prophage is duplicated with every subsequent cell division of the host. (12 words)

This prophage may enter the lytic cycle when the lysogen enters a stressed condition. (14 words)

But sometimes, the phage DNA gets incorporated into the bacterial host’s chromosome instead, becoming a “prophage”. (17 words)

Longer example sentences

In response to stress, the activated prophage is excised from the DNA of the host cell by one of the newly expressed gene products and enters its lytic pathway. (29 words)

In this state, the λ DNA is called a prophage and stays resident within the host's genome without apparent harm to the host. (24 words)

This autonegative regulation ensures a stable minimum concentration of the repressor molecule and, should SOS signals arise, allows for more efficient prophage induction. (23 words)
