| Detailed Information for Phage Walrus |
| Discovery Information |
| Isolation Host | Gordonia terrae 3612 |
| Found By | Matthew Montgomery |
| Year Found | 2016 |
| Location Found | Pittsburgh, PA USA |
| Finding Institution | University of Pittsburgh |
| Program | Phage Hunters Integrating Research and Education |
| From enriched soil sample? | No |
| Isolation Temperature | 30°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 40.442567 N, 79.957276 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | This phage was a contaminant in a BetterKatz lysate. I isolated it by plating the contaminated lysate on the Betterkatz lysogen (so only the contaminant can infect). From there I purified and amplified using standard protocols. |
| Naming Notes | Walruses are interesting animals. |
