| Discovery Notes | Phage SchoolBus was isolated from soil, collected on 10/07/17 by Kyle Scranton,
at a depth of about 2 inches from soil taken under a park bench near a trash can. This sample was mostly dry soil w/ small pieces of wood. Air temp at time of collection was 26.7˚C.
SchoolBus was isolated by direct plating at 35C.
Characterization was performed by Team Afplaq (Jason Eigenbrood, Nima Hooshdaran, Kyle Scranton).
Phage morphology under EM shows siphoviridae with prolate head characteristic of cluster O phages.
