They may have DNA or RNA as their genetic component. Certain types of bacteriophage, called <styp><col><b>temperate bacteriophage</b></col></styp>, may infect but not kill their host bacteria, residing in and replicating either as a plasmid or integrated into the host genome. Under certain conditions, a resident temperate phage may become induced to multiply rapidly and vegetatively, killing and lysing its host bacterium, and producing multiple progeny. The <stype>lambda phage</stype> of <spn>Eschericia coli</spn>, much studied in biochemical and genetic research, is of the temperate type.</note><br/
