| Discovery Notes | Bamboo growing in Arizona State University is kept in a shady and waterlogged area. A sample was taken from the surface of the soil since a warm, wet and shaded environment might support bacterial growth. We are no longer certain that this phage infects A. globiformis. We will update the entry once the bacteria species is known. |
| Naming Notes | The Roman virtue auctoritas means "authority" when translated quite literally from Latin. However, it had much more significance to the Romans. It is a sense of one's social standing, built up through experience, pietas (faith) and industria (work, toil, productiveness). There's no better virtue to represent this phage. |
| Sequencing Information | |
| Sequencing Complete? | No |
| Genome length (bp) | Unknown |
| Character of genome ends | Unknown |
| Fasta file available? | No |
| Characterization | |
| Cluster | Unclustered |
| Subcluster | -- |
| Lysogeny Notes | Since the plaques are very clear, this phage seems to be in a lytic cycle, unlike lysogenic phage that tend to have more opaque plaques. |
| Annotating Institution | Unknown or unassigned |
| Annotation Status | Not sequenced |
| Plaque Notes | The plaques vary in size, but they are always very clear. There is a small dot in the center of the plaque that is far clearer than the surroundings. |
| Morphotype | Siphoviridae |
