| Discovery Notes | The area that I collected my phage from is on a foot path and was about one foot away from a murky puddle in the dirt. It was taken from a soil sample with a green fuzzy substance on top. The depth of the sample was 1.5 cm and the temperature outside was 69 degrees F and sunny. It has an average capsid head diameter of 61.5438 nm and a average tail length of 178.2136 nm. Xeno's capsid head standard deviation is 1.50897 nm and the tail length standard deviation is 8.37814 nm. |
| Naming Notes | Xeno is named after Xenophilius Lovegood from Harry Potter. I love Harry Potter, so I wanted to relate my phage to it in some way. Since Xenophilius Lovegood is a bit of an odd character, I thought it was fitting to name my mycobacteriophage after him. |
