| Discovery Notes | Flat, open grassy area. Tree nearby providing partial shade. Cool, damp soil. |
| Naming Notes | The name “Coca Cola” was chosen to give the phage a distinctive and memorable identity, inspired by the iconic beverage known for its effervescence and global recognition. |
| Sequencing Information | |
| Sequencing Complete? | No |
| Genome length (bp) | Unknown |
| Character of genome ends | Unknown |
| Fasta file available? | No |
| Characterization | |
| Cluster | Unclustered |

| Lysogeny Notes | Over the course of seven days, lysogeny was assessed by performing consecutive spot assays and monitoring for the development of turbid growth or survivor colonies within the clearance zones. At no point during the observation period did any potential lysogens emerge, nor did we observe signs of reduced lysis indicative of lysogenic conversion. Based on these results, CocaCola appears to behave as a virulent phage. |
