Figure 26.4
Many of the viruses that infect bacteria are capable of lysogeny. If a particular host-cell population is growing and dividing rapidly, the viruses that infect the cells will tend to stay in the lysogenous state. If the cells begin to starve and stop dividing, however, the viruses tend to switch to lytic growth. From the virus's point of view, why is this switch advantageous?
