| Discovery Notes | Soil sample taken from the University of Pittsburgh campus, adjacent to the Chevron Science Center (also near Eberly Hall). Soil was extracted from warm, damp area with leaves present on the ground during weather that was overcast, around 75°F. The previous 48 hours had seen less sun and more clouds, highs in the upper 80s and lows in the mid-70s (°F). |
| Naming Notes | The name Armando is the middle name of the researcher who discovered the Armando bacteriophage. |

| Character of genome ends | Unknown |
| Fasta file available? | No |
| Characterization | |
| Cluster | Unclustered |
| Subcluster | -- |
| Lysogeny Notes | The Armando phage exhibits both lytic and lysogenic qualities as demonstrated by the different plaque morphologies obtained through several plating trials. |
| Annotating Institution | Unknown or unassigned |
| Annotation Status | Not sequenced |
| Plaque Notes | Plaques showed two distinct sizes. Larger plaques were on average 3-4mm in diameter, while smaller plaques were on average 1-2mm. The larger plaques were slightly turbid, with some haloing occurring throughout the plates. Smaller plaques showed clear and distinct definition and were evident on several platings of the Armando phage. |
