Abstract excerpt
Upon infection to the Escherichia coli cell, the genome of bacteriophage lambda either replicates to form new progenies (lytic growth) or integrates into the host chromosome (lysogenization). The lambda CII protein is a key determinant in the lysis-lysogeny decision. It is a short-lived transcription activator for the lambda genes essential for lysogeny establishment. In this study, we isolated a new class of hfl...
