| Lysogeny Notes | Silver is a temperate phage and does occasionally go through the lysogenic cycle. This has been confirmed using liquid lysogen cultures created by a spot plate incubated for a week. The liquid culture has passed the positive phage leaking test as well, proving that it is indeed a true lysogen. |
