"Lysogenize" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
To lysogenize means to establish a stable and latent infection, typically of a bacteriophage or virus, within the genome of a host organism, often resulting in the host being a carrier or reservoir of the disease-causing organism.
Lysogenic refers to a type of cell that contains a virus particle embedded in its DNA, but is not actively producing new viruses.
Lysogenization is the process by which a bacteriophage (a virus that infects bacteria) becomes integrated into the DNA of the host bacterium and remains dormant, behaving like a genetically modified prophage, which can later be induced to produce new virions and initiate a lytic cycle. This process is the result of the lysogenic conversion, and the prophage can remain latent for many generations until it is induced to become active again.
Lysogenization is the process by which a virus, typically a temperate virus, integrates its genome into the host cell's DNA, establishing a latent or dormant infection. The host cell's DNA is modified by the viral DNA, which is known as a prophage. This allows the virus to replicate along with the host cell and is often a means of survival for the virus, as it can avoid being destroyed by the host's immune system.
Lysogeny is a type of bacteriophage (bacterial virus) infection where the phage genome becomes integrated into the host bacterial chromosome, allowing the phage to replicate along with the bacterial DNA. This integration is called lysogenic conversion.
Lysol is a brand name for a type of disinfectant spray or liquid used to kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. It is often used to clean and disinfect surfaces, particularly in households and public areas.
A lysosome is a type of organelle found in the cells of many eukaryotic organisms, including animals, plants, and fungi. It is a membrane-bound compartment that contains digestive enzymes and acidic fluids, and plays a crucial role in the breakdown and recycling of cellular waste and foreign substances.
Lysosomal refers to the part of a cell responsible for breaking down and recycling cellular waste and debris. In particular, the lysosome is a membrane-bound organelle that contains digestive enzymes and acids that help to degrade and recycle cellular components, such as proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids.
