Bacteriophage Life Cycle Lytic vs Lysogenic Cycle Explained (Animation)

Welcome to RS Medical Microbiology. Have you ever wondered how a virus "hijacks" a bacteria? In this video, we break down the life cycle of the Bacteriophage using a story format to make it unforgettable! Whether you are a medical student (MBBS), studying for NEET, or just love microbiology, this animation simplifies the complex difference between the Lytic Cycle (The Bacterial Factory) and the Lysogenic Cycle (The Silent Roommate). 📝 In this video, we cover: Structure of Bacteriophage: Capsid, Sheath, Tail Fibers, and Base Plate. Adsorption: How the virus attaches to the specific receptor. Penetration: Injection of viral DNA. The Fork in the Road: Deciding between Lytic and Lysogenic. Replication & Assembly: How the bacteria is turned into a virus factory. 00:00 – Introduction 00:03 – Meet the Bacteriophage 00:29 – Adsorption 00:40 – Penetration 00:51 – Lytic cycle begins 01:02 – Hostile take over 01:10 – Lysis 01:20 – Lysogenic cycle 01:43 – Two strategy 01:56 – Ending credits 📚 Recommended for: MBBS 2nd Year Microbiology, BDS, Nursing, Allied Health Sciences, and Biology students (Class 11/12).
