| Detailed Information for Phage Alucard |
| Discovery Information |
| Isolation Host | Microbacterium foliorum NRRL B-24224 |
| Found By | Jakob O'Neal |
| Year Found | 2021 |
| Location Found | South Portland, ME United States |
| Finding Institution | Southern Maine Community College |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 30°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 43.647224 N, 70.227765 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | The sample the phage was found in was taken from Southern Maine Community College's community garden. The sample was moist, dark soil taken from a tomato patch. |
| Naming Notes | I had Halloween on the brain when I was thinking of a name for the phage. While it isn't a perfect comparison, how phages survive and replicate remind me of vampires. "Alucard" is "Dracula" spelled backwards. |
