| Discovery Notes | I collected Soil Sample "Melson" from underneath a picnic table that was near the life science building at The University of North Texas. The soil was very moist and easy to remove from the ground. It had lots of organic matter like roots, leaves and wood. The color was a very dark brown/black because it had been misty all day. The temperature outside was 57 degrees Fahrenheit or 13.8 degrees Celsius. The GPS coordinates are 33.2117 N and 97.1487 W. |
| Naming Notes | I chose the name "Melson" because my first name is Makenna and my last name is Elson so I combined them together to get the name Melson. I wanted to name it after me because it has become so important and special to me and I wanted it to be something people remember me by. |
| Sequencing Information | |
| Sequencing Complete? | No |
| Genome length (bp) | Unknown |
| Character of genome ends | Unknown |
| Fasta file available? | No |
| Characterization | |
| Cluster | Unclustered |
| Subcluster | -- |
| Lysogeny Notes | I conducted two lysogeny procedures. The first one both agar plates were negative because when I did the process I had dipped the inoculating loop into the plaque every time instead of just once. I would light the inoculating loop on fire so the phage was not able to dilute. My results for my second lysogeny streak were positive, many colonies were formed on the agar plate and the colonies were circular and cloudy. |
