The key difference between lytic and lysogenic cycle of bacteriophage is that during lytic cycle of bacteriophage reproduction, the bacteriophage that enters the host cell present as a separate component without integrating with the host dna while in lysogenic cycle the bacteriophage dna is integrated into the host dna and replicate accordingly a bacteriophage is a virus that infects bacteria. This occurs when the viral genome exits the bacterial chromosome and initiates the lytic cycle. Bacteriophages that replicate through the lytic life cycle are called lytic bacteriophages, adsorption is the attachment sites on the phage adsorb to receptor sites on the host bacterium. A temperate bacteriophage has both lytic and lysogenic cycles. Many phages have facultative lytic and lysogenic cycles.
