| Discovery Notes | Collected from moist soil taken 5cm deep at ambient temperature of 18.89 ℃ An enriched culture was prepared by combining 15 mL of soil with 25 mL of PYCA broth. The bacterial strains of A. sp., A. globiformis, A. sulfureus and A. atrocyaneus were then added in equal concentrations. The enriched culture was incubated at 30℃ for 48 hours with shaking. After filtering with a 0.22 µm filter, the sample was plated on PYCA plates with 2X PYCa soft agar using the standard pour plate method. Team Members: Dominic Garza, Michelle Zorawik |
| Naming Notes | The phage was named in honor of a student’s dog, Angus. Angus was a hefty dog so he was given the nickname of Bongus by his owners. |
