| Isolation Temperature | Not entered |
| GPS Coordinates | 28.539000 N, 77.263800 E Map |
| Discovery Notes | Isolated from a soil sample procured from Hauz Khaas, New Delhi in a state called Delhi. The protocol followed for isolation of the Mycobacteriophages was as described in the manual "Phagehunting Teacher Workshop-2012". The work was carried out in Dr.Urmi Bajpai's laboratary at department of Biomedical Science, Acharya Narendra Dev College, University of Delhi under the PHAGE DISCOVERY Research Project (PDRP). |
| Naming Notes | The name of the phage is kept by the student Simran Virdi, B.Sc. (Hons) Biomedical Science, who worked and discovered the Mycobacteriophage from the soil samples as a part of PHAGE DISCOVERY RESEARCH PROJECT (PDRP). The first six letters of "SimranZ1" are taken from the name of the student: Simran and the letters Z1 stands for the isolate name. Alternative name for this phage is PDRPxvi |
