A method of phage reproduction where a phage injects its DNA into a host bacteria. The injected DNA leads to the creation of new phage which eventually burst forth from or lyse the host bacteria. Lysogenic: The second known method of phage reproduction. In lysogeny, the phage injects its DNA into a host bacteria. The DNA then blends with the bacterial DNA or RNA which creates a new species immune to the phage which created it. --Chris
