| Isolation Host | Mycobacterium smegmatis mc²155 |
| Found By | Juan Sanfiel |
| Year Found | 2016 |
| Location Found | Baltimore, MD USA |
| Finding Institution | Johns Hopkins University |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | Not entered |
| GPS Coordinates | Unavailable |
| Discovery Notes | The soil sample was found on September 6, 2016 at approximately 6:07 pm. It was 78 degrees Fahrenheit, and it was found in front of the Wyman Park Building on the Johns Hopkins University Homewood Campus. |
| Naming Notes | When observing my phages, I wanted to name them based of off Greek letters. The two phages I found in my sample were named Alph and Bet, after Alpha and Beta. While both samples were clear, I decided to observe Alph since its dimensions were much easier to observe. |
