| Discovery Notes | As a member of Christiansburg Rescue Squad, the adventure of discovering a phage would involve my Rescue Family as well. From this I brought Toby Akers, a current member, to help discover some active location. The soil sample used for this phage came from a relative still mud pit below a bridge with lots of algae flourishing. |
| Naming Notes | During Fall 2017, a member of Christiansburg Rescue passed away 09SEP17 at the young age of 31. Ryan was a Virginia Tech alumni as an aerospace engineer. He truly embodied "Ut Prosim" by choosing to help others above working for NASA. Since the phage was discovered from Christiansburg soil, it is only fair to name the phage in his memory. |
| 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 | At first, the morphology was very temperate. We believe this was caused from many phage thriving at once. After isolating and purifying the phage the plaques becomes much more lytic. |
