Lambda λ -
The genome consists of three distinct regions, the right operon, the left operon and the immunity operon. The right operon controls the vegetative functions, DNA replication, head synthesis, tail synthesis and lysis.
The left operon is involved in integration and recombination. The products of the immunity operon and their interaction with DNA determines whether the phage enters the lytic or the lysogenic cycles.
