| Annotating Institution | Massey University |
| Annotation Status | In GenBank |
| Plaque Notes | Clear plaques of medium/small size.
Note;
Appears to mutate to have a smaller morphology. Picking an isolated small plaque yields both medium and small plaques. However, Carthage has been purified so I don't think this is two phages |
| Morphotype | Siphoviridae |
