| Discovery Information | |
| Isolation Host | Microbacterium foliorum NRRL B-24224 |
| Found By | Joy Layton and Erica Vargas |
| Year Found | 2018 |
| Location Found | Kenosha , WI USA |
| Finding Institution | Carthage College |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Unknown |
| Isolation Temperature | Not entered |
| GPS Coordinates | 42.0 N, 87.0 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | The sample was harvested from a grassy area that had been freshly mowed. The soil was very dense and slightly damp. The soil contained some sand and contained a lot of grassy particles and a smaller amount of topsoil. |
| Naming Notes | The phage has been incredibly difficult to isolate because of its delicacy. It can not be vortexed without breaking apart and collapses while suspended in lysate. The plaques also have a small burst size and contribute to a very low concentration of lysate. The lysate we harvested was 10^-2. |
| Sequencing Information | |
| Sequencing Complete? | No |
| Genome length (bp) | Unknown |
| Character of genome ends | Unknown |
| Fasta file available? | No |
| Characterization | |
| Cluster | Unclustered |
| Subcluster | -- |
| Annotating Institution | Unknown or unassigned |
| Annotation Status | Not sequenced |
| Plaque Notes | The plaques have a very small burst size (between 1 and 2 mm) and have a clear center with a halo around the edge. The morphology is consistent in that it displays two different sizes (2mm and 1mm) but has a consistent appearance. These findings of two different sizes are consistent across our experiments. |
