| Detailed Information for Phage Enceladus |
| Discovery Information |
| Isolation Host | Mycobacterium smegmatis mc²155 |
| Found By | Dani Buchheister & Hannah Sotiroff |
| Year Found | 2020 |
| Location Found | Boulder, CO USA |
| Finding Institution | University of Colorado Boulder |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Unknown |
| Isolation Temperature | -8°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 40.009133 N, 105.269789 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | Found near a classroom building in a landscaped area under a tree. Ground cover was mostly mulch with some bushes and shrubs. |
| Naming Notes | Our phage is named after a giant in Greek mythology. Enceladus is also the name of one of Saturn's icy moons, a promising site for the search for life in the solar system. It's Dani's favorite moon, and it fits since our phage was taken from the soil on a cold and snowy day. |
