Lambda phage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1963 words)
In this state, λ is called a prophage and stays resident within the host's genome, without apparent harm.
The DNA of the prophage that is expressed in that state codes for proteins that look out for signs of stress in the host cell.
At that point, the prophage reactivates, excises itself from the DNA of the host cell and enters its lytic cycle.
