I am not sure if the article is being reworded or a new section is being added. After seeing the talk page I think it is being fixed by being reworded to make it more non-microbiologist friendly and to add more info and context and citations. Or to fix some specific sentences. If that was not the goal then disregard my input. The original Lambda phage article is a little dense, so adding to the introduction or to other sections would be a good idea.

The new lead has a few grammar issues and extra periods and commas. You could make it more like:

"Enterobacteria is a virus, or bacteriophage, that infects certain bacteria. The lambda phage is specific for E. coli. The wild type has a temperate life cycle that allows the virus to exist in 2 life cycle stages: A lysogeny and a lytic stage. During these life cycles it destroys the cell through the process of lysis, where the offspring of the virus are released from the burst cell.

Some mutated strains of the virus enter a lytic stage, instead of lysing the cell. During this phase they saturate the cell with the copies of the bacteriophages of an already lysed cell(? not sure what this sentence is saying).

During this phase, the virus locates coding(?) that allows it to bind to the E. coli. The bacteriophage, then injects genetic material into the cell, similar to in the lytic phase. After injection, the virus will hijack the bacterial DNA transcription process and uses the cells internal structures to produce many copies of the bacteriophages. Then the cell lysis, and the virus is set free to infect other cells.

During the lysogenic phase, the virus may insert its DNA into the genome of the bacteria. The virus may then develop into a non-parthenogenic virus, where it exists in a commensal relationship and does not harm the bacterial cell."

One thing I would add would be more citations and links to other pages like in the original article, so it is ready to go live, but I understand you may be waiting to add those from the article to make it fit.

I think the tone is neutral and the info is relevant and accurate to my knowledge. It seems like it will be a good addition the article.
