MSH: The phenomenon by which a temperate phage incorporates itself into the DNA of a bacterial host, establishing a kind of symbiotic relation between PROPHAGE and bacterium which results in the perpetuation of the prophage in all the descendants of the bacterium. Upon induction (VIRUS ACTIVATION) by various agents, such as ultraviolet radiation, the phage is released, which then becomes virulent and lyses the bacterium.,CSP: phenomenon by which a temperate phage integrates itself into the DNA of a bacterial host, establishing a type of symbiotic relation between prophage and bacterium which results in the perpetuation of the prophage in all the descendants of the bacterium; upon induction by various agents, such as chemicals or ultraviolet radiation, the phage is released, which then becomes virulent and lyses the bacterium.,GO: The incorporation of a bacteriophage genome into the genome of its bacterial host organism.
