| Isolation Host | Mycobacterium smegmatis mc²155 |
| Found By | Mary Owen |
| Year Found | 2015 |
| Location Found | Oxford, OH USA |
| Finding Institution | Miami University |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | Not entered |

| Discovery Notes | I found the sample within a foot of a sidewalk underneath decomposing leaves within a wooded area. The soil was damp and came from the surface layer. |
| Naming Notes | I combined two Latin words "mortem" meaning death and "cella" meaning room (an early word for a microscopic organism such as a cell) to loosely translate into 'death cell' |
