During this stage, the host bacterium reproduces the prophage or integrated phage genome with its own.

Without this gene the host bacterium still dies but remains intact because the lysis is disabled.

These recombinant molecules are taken up by a host bacteria by transformation, creating a DNA library.

The R1 plasmid imparts multi-drug antibiotic resistance to its host bacteria.

The hybrid electrovirus and its host bacteria and nanomachineries now circulated within the body of Hizta.

Many types of bacteriophage exist, some simply infect and lyse their host bacteria, while others insert into the bacterial chromosome.

The traditional method for creating recombinant DNA typically involves the use of plasmids in the host bacteria.

Also, certain regulatory proteins may not be suitable for study in a surrogate host bacterium [ 18 ] .

Another possible complication of this approach is that expressing a foreign protein may turn on the stress response of the host bacterium.

A prophage is either integrated into the host bacteria's chromosome or more rarely exists as a stable plasmid within the host cell.
