| Discovery Notes | Soil found in Denton, TX; Temperature was 85° F at soil sample collection. The date and time of soil sample collection was 9/9/16 at 11:08am; the soil collected was dry, loose soil.
The MTL of this phage is 1.2x10^8 pfu/mL; the average diameter of plaques is 2mm; the DNA concentration is 131.8 and the DNA/RNA ratio is 1.93.
In a host range test with the bacteria S. venezuelae, S. albus, S. virginiae, S. griseus, and S. azureus, no plaques were formed using Amethyst. |
| Naming Notes | The name for this phage came from the February birthstone, Amethyst. |
