| Discovery Information |
| Isolation Host | Mycobacterium smegmatis mc²155 |
| Found By | Astha Mehta, Ryan Doss |
| Year Found | 2018 |
| Location Found | Las Vegas, NV USA |
| Finding Institution | University of Nevada Las Vegas |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | No |
| Isolation Temperature | Not entered |
| GPS Coordinates | 36.113974 N, 115.144462 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | Soil sample taken from plot 28 at UNLV community gardens. The soil sample was taken from 6 cm below surface. There was heavy moisture levels and dark soil color present that day. |
| Naming Notes | The original name of the phage was NoName because we could not come up with a name. However, NoName was taken and so we choose to change NoName to latin. Therefore, the phage was named NihilNomen. |
