| Discovery Notes | We obtained our bacteriophage from a soil sample taken from UMBC grounds near the commons building. The sample was collected on 9/15/2022 at 11:40 a.m. We performed direct isolation on 9/15/2022. We incubated the plates for 24 hours and performed our first round of phage purification through plaque assay on 9/19/2022.
Description: Dark brown and slightly wet. The sample was collected with soil and some mulch.
Temperature: Warm (80°F)
Collection depth: Surface level (about 2 inches). |
| Naming Notes | The name Patelgo comes from the combination of the last names Patel and Galo. |

| Characterization |
| Cluster | BK |
| Subcluster | BK1 |
| Cluster Life Cycle | Lytic |
| Lysogeny Notes | The S. mirabilis plate was incubated for a week, and no mesa was formed. It can be assumed that Patelgo is a virulent phage. This cannot be confirmed till the phage DNA is sequenced. |
