Found ByLinn Bjanes
Year Found2016

ProgramScience Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science
From enriched soil sample?Yes
Isolation Temperature30°C
GPS Coordinates40.445 N, 79.953333 W Map
Discovery NotesIdentified area with sprouting new plants in a flower bed near the Cathedral of Learning. There was a fresh layer of snow on top of the dirt so I brushed away the snow and dug a few inches underneath the top soil.

I dug roughly 3 inches into the earth about 2 inches from the nearest plant
Collected 1 spoonful of dirt (the ground was frozen)
Placed the soil sample into the plastic bag and sealed the bag with the zip closures
Recorded the GPS coordinates using the compass app (see below)
After roughly 5 minutes of transport, the soil sample was put into a conical tube for enrichment


Additional Notes:

GPS coordinates of the soil collection location: 40˚26’42” N 79˚57’12” W
Weather conditions at the time of the collection: strong winds, overcast with snow showers, 34 degrees F
Weather conditions in the last 24 hours: frequent snow showers, gusting winds and mostly cloudy; high 20s during the day and low 10s during the night
Soil conditions: soil was moist and mixed in with grass, mulch and bits of snow and ice.
Naming NotesLast name: Bjanes and 7 because it was in sample #7 that the phage was discovered.

Characterization
ClusterCZ
SubclusterCZ2
Cluster Life CycleTemperate
Lysogeny NotesA theory about the lysogeny is that because several morphologies present themselves (small and large/turbid) the phage uses both the lytic cycle and the lysogenic cycle. This is not supported by an immunity assay as of now but may be done later.
