Zygotic induction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zygotic induction is the lytic development of a prophage on its transfer into a cell which does not have the same prophage. Because the recipient cell does not contain the repressor protein needed for lysogeny, expression of the genes needed for lytic stage occurs immediately after the phage enters the recipient cell.
